In “Seeking Refuge: In Denmark, chill deepens toward accepting refugees,” a correspondent at The Christian Science Monitor remarks on Denmark’s increasing resistance to accepting refugees. She notes the concern that the country’s growing anti-immigration sentiment will “set a precedent” for the rest of Europe, leaving more asylum seekers without a useful place to go or role to fulfill.
