"For American liberals observing from afar, these developments might cause some confusion. US progressives often hold Denmark as
the utopian model for social-democracy. But whereas in United States the left increasingly tends towards internationalism -- along with the
occasional flirtation with open borders -- in Denmark the trend is reverse. In addition to setting new challenges for admitting newcomers, the country has also pursued cultural laws, like a
burqa ban that went into effect in August, to precipitate the integration of migrants.
The Scandinavian social model of
cautious redistribution of wealth relies on a coherent policy of economic priorities (personal wellbeing over economic growth) and on a shared sense of national solidarity, both of which are likely to be undermined by open borders. These are contradictions with which the American left will eventually have to come to terms, too."
