COPENHAGEN, Oct 31 (Reuters) - The Nordic governments intend to step up their cooperation to return immigrants without legal residence in the region to their countries of origin, ministers from the five countries said in a joint press conference in Copenhagen on Tuesday.
Denmark, which aims to only accept refugees under the UN’s quota system, has drawn strong criticism from the United Nations and human rights groups alike as its immigration policies have toughened over the past decade.
The Swedish government is looking towards Danish immigration policies as the country battles gang violence caused by “an irresponsible immigration policy and a failed integration,” Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said last month.
Finland has also seen a rise in anti-immigration polices as their newly formed government in June said it had agreed to cut refugee quotas and make it more difficult for foreigners to obtain citizenship.
“This cooperation will be supporting our governmental program because it’s very concentrated on immigration rules and the returns especially, which have been the weak link in our system,” Mari Rantanen, Finnish Minister of the Interior, said.
Irregular immigrants often travel by the help of smugglers on their way towards Europe and many end up stranded in Africa on their way, according to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM).
