That's The Way To Do It !!

Denmark ~ The country that has cut asylum claims by 90% by banning the burkha and refusing benefits to migrants who don't learn their language👏🏻👍https://mol.im/a/14675845

Sorry forgot to add that most asylum seekers are males who do not tend to wear the burka.

Demark is also more democratic and transparent than the UK. Perhaps some one can recall the outcome of the UK's Maastricht treaty?The lack of UK democracy contributed towards Brexit."However, Denmark also benefits from a unique legal situation: Though a member of the European Union, it is not subject to European Law in many instances.This is because, after a failed referendum in 1992 on the EU's Maastricht Treaty, the country was granted an opt-out clause from shared EU laws so that the treaty could still come into force.In the case of immigration law, this meant that the EU had to assure Denmark that it would not have to participate in the bloc's common asylum policy.

It's an interesting approach. However, the language point is perhaps not applicable to the UK; my understanding is many refugees head across the channel because it's English they already speak ... as an atheist I have mixed feelings about banning clothes of specific religions. If it's a truly free choice I don't see an issue with people wearing what they want - I suppose within what's considered decent! But, are any religious choices truly free or brought about by indoctrination and peer pressure from an early age?

"Perhaps they should run our Country."A bit too left for a lot of people in the UK unfortunately.But it is a good example of such policies not necessarily being left or right.The same people who detest Trump loved Clinton and Obama although I believe they deported more people.
