ICELAND: Realistic, rational immigration bill passes

Iceland is doubling down.

Immigration bill approved by the Minister of Justice

The immigration bill of Minister of Justice Guðrún Hafsteinsdóttir has been approved by Althingi.

Iceland’s Parliament, Alþingi, passed a highly controversial immigration bill last night, bringing a contentious five-year process to a close, RÚV reports. The newly passed legislation strips asylum seekers of their rights, including access to housing and healthcare, 30 days after their applications have been rejected.
