Norway wants to deny all refugees if 'it all breaks down'

Looks like the refugee crisis is sending Europe topsy turvy.

Norway wants to deny all refugees if 'it all breaks down'

In an effort to stem the flow of refugees coming from other Nordic countries and Russia, the Norwegian PM is proposing a law that would allow the nation to prevent asylum-seekers from non-conflict areas entering Norway.

Solberg said that the legislation would only be implemented in an emergency situation and would protect Norway from the deteriorating situation within the Schengen region and the mounting strain the Swedish asylum system is facing from the current refugee crisis in Europe.

Under her plan, asylum seekers entering from Russia or other Nordic countries would be immediately rejected if they are not coming directly from areas of conflict.

The primary responsibility of any government is to its own citizens.
