Which only works because there are other countries in between Denmark and the majority of places refugees come from that have the capacity to take in these refugees. Denmark is lucky it can hide behind Italy, Germany and co.
So your argument is that neighbouring Sweden could replicate Denmark’s policy?
My argument was that such a policy can only work for countries like Denmark or Sweden that are far away from any country refugees might come from and relies on other countries in between to take in all the refugees. This obviously wouldn’t stop Denmark from changing course and taking in more refugees, like Sweden.

Sweden is next door and takes a lot more. It did historically anyway.
