This article isn’t only misleading, its factually incorrect. The EU open borders policy is only open to those with EU passports. Everyone else, including none EU refugees must go through a process of entry and can and often will be turned away. Unless those refugees have gone through the long process of naturalisation, they can't or shouldn't be able to cross EU borders freely. The process for none naturalised refugees is very different to the process for regular immigrants.
The problem isn’t open borders, its border control and how well its manned. Our home in France, sits on the borders of Italy. When we are there, I do my food shop in Italy because its cheaper. I’ve driven through border control many, many times and not once have I seen anyone policing those borders. I don’t even bother taking my passport because border control is nothing more than a small unmanned hut that you wouldn’t notice if you blinked. It’s the same crossing from France to Spain. It’s a different kettle of fish getting into the UK. We have excellent border control but then we aren’t in a place where land meets land.
So what are these “open borders” the Danes are talking about? If Syrian immigrants and refugees are just getting through without checks, who’s fault is that? Its more likely Denmark is refusing to accept more immigrants and refugees and are turning them back at their now manned borders, borders that are still open to EU residents but should NEVER have been open to none EU residents!!
I can only speculate that the Danes are no longer putting these people through the EU process of entry, which is a very different thing to a blanket statement of "closing borders".
