I do agree that it is a joke. It is a populistic political barter.

But the worst thing is actually the double standards:
Sweden has had permanent custom controls at all borders since before they entered EU, Schengen and Nordic Passport Union. And after. Denmark is increasing the number of non-permanent checks - and now Sweden are criticizing Denmark...

Germany and France are currently constructing a permanent police and customs control building at the Goldene Bremm border between Metz and Saarbrücken. When Denmark wants to build a shack for the customs controllers, where they can drink their coffee, we are being told...

Which details would you adjust. Please explain.
