Can I ask you Robert, whether the views of the Dutch are that the various immigration laws are seen as unjust and actively working against the local community.
You mentioned housing, which is a big issue in the UK. I understand there will will be emergency accommodation for new arrivals or whatever, but does it take months and years for asylum applications to be processed, before the many that are refused (the vast majority in ther UK are), then just seem to diappear into the ether, especially, as physically, your Country is much smaller. Where do they go.
Also in the UK, there are queues for social housing accommodation, with priority groups going to the front of the queue, which gives the impression that immigrants are given priority, when they are not, it's the circumstances they find themselves in, with children etc, that gives them priority, and thus the character of so many areas have changed dramatically. So in effect, it amounts to the same thinb. In my London borough, in the 2001 census, the basic make up of the community was 60% white, by the time of the next census in 2011, that had reduced to 40% white and I am sure that in London, that trend is continuing, Is that an issue in The Netherlands?
I worked within the system for years, and from 1989 until the day I retired, I saw the abuse almost daily, and that includes those arriving from the EU. Many of whom were originally from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and so on. And although I never worked for the Immigration Dept. I worked with them a lot, and despaired.
