Danish Parliament to Vote on Confiscating Refugees' Valuables
-------------------------------------------------------------

Denmark's Parliament is scheduled to vote Tuesday on a series of
controversial measures curbing refugee rights, including a proposal to
confiscate their money and valuables to pay for their stay in asylum
centers. Many have compared the measure to the confiscation of property
from Jews during the Holocaust. The plan also includes a proposal to
delay family reunification for three years. The measures are expected to
pass.
