I think it's worth trying to do this if it reduces the demand to come to the UK illegally. I dont have an issue with that and see no better solutions coming forward apart from a general shrugging of shoulders.
What is frustrating is that people resort to tropes without actually considering it. So anything to try and reduce illegal immigration is just branded 'racist'. TBH, I think people are seeing through that argument now and realising it's bullshit. At the very least at least a Danish-Ethiopian from a centre left party endorsing the same policy should make it's detractors come up with better reasons to oppose it.
