Originally, the bill allowed refugees to keep belongings totaling 3,000 Danish crowns — nearly 437 U.S. dollars — but after complaints from human rights organizations, Danish Parliament raised the sum to 10,000 crowns — approximately 1,450 U.S. dollars. The bill exempts items of sentimental value. What do you think of this new law, and should the U.S. adopt a similar tactic if it accepts refugees?
