Home Office looking to use Denmark as a model to tackle illegal migration

Sources at the Home Office have confirmed that the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood is actively looking at Denmark to model some of her policies to manage illegal migration in the country. The government has struggled to halt the number of people coming across the Channel in small boats. Sky's political correspondent said in Denmark they have "succeeded" in driving down the number of migrants seeking asylum through "draconian" policies. She added one of the areas the Home Office is looking at is that "people who are granted refugee status in the country are only allowed to bring over their spouse to join them if the two of them are aged 24 and over". #migration #asylum #uknews #skynews SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
