Immigration Platforms of Parties Are Against European Union Rules

Two professors of migration law, Thomas Spijkerboer (Free University Amsterdam) and Kees Groenendijk (Nijmegen University), have expressed the opinion that five of the parties represented in Parliament today and participating in the 9 June parliamentary elections have clauses in their election platforms which contradict EU rules on immigration. Three of the parties – the left wing Socialist party, the Liberal party (VVD) and the Freedom party – could only realize their suggested policies on immigration if the Netherlands were to leave the EU.

Head of Public Prosecution: Security in the Netherlands Will Decline

Harm Brouwer, head of public prosecutions, said that the security level which the Netherlands presently enjoys can not be maintained. When presenting the 2009 annual report of the Public Prosecutions Office he said that the authorities are under great financial pressure and therefore his office will also have to reduce expenses. He added that at present there is already a shortage in the detective service to deal with known or suspected criminality. This creates problems mainly in dealing with organized crime and child pornography.

Annual Costs of Non-Western Immigration 7.2 Billion Euro

The annual immigration of non-Western immigrants costs Dutch society 7.2 billion Euro. This is the conclusion of a study by the economic research bureau Nyfer on behalf of the Freedom Party Faction in parliament. According to the researchers these immigrants use more collective services and pay less taxes and social premiums than the average Dutchman. They need unemployment benefits more frequently and are more often unsuitable to work. They are also over represented amongst criminals, which leads to additional costs.

Complaint About Comparison of Jews and Cockroaches

Max Engelander, an Amsterdam policeman of Jewish origin, has filed a complaint against the columnist Hugo Borst. Borst had written in a column that cockroaches are impressive animals. They are the Jew among insects as they cannot be eradicated. Engelander says that almost his entire family was murdered during the Shoah. The statement that Jews resemble cockroaches and cannot be eradicated insults the entire Jewish people. www.nrc.nl/binnenland/article2546248.ece/Vergelijking_joden_met_kakkerlakken_leidt_tot_aangifte

Wilders: Moroccan Suspects Six Times More than Ethnic Dutchmen

During an election debate of political leaders on RTL TV, the leader of the Freedom (PVV) party, Geert Wilders, cynically said that he wanted to apologize to the Moroccan community as he had said in the past that they were five times more suspects amongst them than among the ethnic Dutch. He said he wished to correct himself and that the number of suspects among them is in fact six times that of ethnic Dutch. On another matter, he said that the pledge by Labor party leader and former Mayor of Amsterdam, Job Cohen, that if he became Prime Minister he would do for the Netherlands what he had done for Amsterdam, should be seen as a threat rather than as a promise.
