It's not that it's right, more so that it's not... wrong?

Without doing a 10-page segment on it, the reality is that throughout the 90s and 2000s, the political left "embraced" immigration based on a humanitarian point of view, more so than they ever considered the economics and inevitable cultural clashes.

Danes are notoriously self-involved and in general, we like being left alone, so no talking on the bus, to strangers, or with women, and/or men, if we're not 5 beers deep or on Ibiza, so, given that, we also assume everyone else is like that - Now we have a not insignificant amount of 2nd and 3rd generation middle eastern immigrants that were never properly integrated due to the above, since no effort was given to provide these people with an introduction to Danish society. No mandatory language lessons, no job training, just a "Hello, welcome to Denmark, this is your slum apartment, enjoy your stay" - Surprisingly, that let to ghettos, disillusionment and in broad strokes not a good time for anyone. The political left, seeing the writing on the wall with the rapid rise of the far right, realised they were being idiots about it, and now hold a much more conservative view on immigration.

That's the 2 cent version of that story.
