The  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tillegal practice was revealed by the Danish newspaper Berlingske: <em style=\"font-family: Arial;\">\u201cSome municipalities tell the Danish  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImmigration Service (Udl\u00e6ndingestyrelsen) not to send them refugees from  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcertain countries, Berlingske newspaper revealed. [\u2026] Another unwanted group is  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe Roma. S\u00f8nderborg Council told Immigration Service that it \u201cwants to put an  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tend to the visits of Roma people from former Yugoslavia who come on  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thumanitarian grounds\u201d. Danish municipalities provide requests and  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trecommendations to Immigration Service each year as a way to build upon previous  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsuccesses with certain groups, but many of the municipalities also use the  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tannual exercise as an opportunity to tell the national authorities which  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trefugees they do not want. This would appear to be in violation of the nation\u2019s  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\timmigration laws which state that no distinctions can be made based on  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnationality when helping those in need.\u201d <\/em>However, Rroma are not a national  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tgroup, but a transnational, ethnic minority, with a centuries-old history of  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\texclusion and persecution. The deliberate exclusion of a specific group of  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpersons violates the anti-discrimination legislation. Rroma are not a  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thomogeneous mass, but are composed of a variety of individuals, with diverse  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\texperiences. With the expansion of the European free movement of persons to  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRomania and Bulgaria, various western European countries warned of a mass  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\timmigration of poor Rroma. However, these forecasts build not on critical  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tanalysis, but on politicized, polemical estimates of migration<em style=\"font-family: Arial;\">: <\/em>Rroma are not mass of uneducated poor,  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbut belong to all strata of society and professional groups.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Local Denmark  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(2014) Danish towns reject specific refugee groups.
