Denmark and Germany are among the countries of Europe currently struggling with the unraveling migrant crisis.

Refugees from the Middle East and North Africa use Denmark as a gateway to Sweden, which they believe has better conditions for the admission of refugees.

At the same time, Denmark has tightened its immigration laws, including cutting social benefits by some 50 percent.

According to the EU border agency Frontex, a record number of over 340,000 migrants, many fleeing war in their home countries, arrived at EU borders between January and July 2015.
