SilleEllis- She mentioned in her speech:

The first policies to rescue immigrants from a life of state dependency were devised and implemented by your party.

What policies does she refer to? I don't know much about the situation in Denmark compared to the rest of Europe wrt integrating these immigrants. How big is the influx of refugees in Denmark?
Hirsi Ai is a Somali- we have been receiving quite a few refugees from there in recent years. It has put a significant burden on the local education system, since none of these refugees speak the language, and they frequently get very unruly (incidents of violence, etc). The local school district has had to open remedial schools with multi-lingual teachers, etc. A couple regular schools had to be closed due to the budget shortfalls, which didn't go over very well with those families.
They bring customs with them that just don't work here- a couple weeks ago an entire family killed themselves by cooking over charcoal in their apartment (not far from where I live). They died from CO poisoning. A winter storm caused a power outage, and even though they were warned about cooking indoors, they went ahead and did it anyway.
