'People who have means...should pay before they get the benefits'

Anders Vistisen, an MEP with the Danish People's Party explains government plans to seize the assets of asylum seekers.

The proposals have been condemned by the UN refugee agency but the government today secured a majority in parliament to allow the Danish authorities to seize migrants' cash and other individual items worth more than 拢1,000. Wedding rings and other items of sentimental value will not be included.
