Professor Marlene Wind blev d. 27. maj interviewet til det amerikanske nyhedsbureau NPR om den nye danske grænsekontrol. "It's this whole scare tactic that the open borders will see an influx of immigrants, of criminals, of Gypsies. This is something that they use to appeal to the fear and to the lowest-common denominator among these voters. And I think it's pathetic, to be quite frank," siger hun.
