Right: you are aware that the new dutch government is largely run by Dutch agriculture oligarchs? They create an asylum crisis to distract the people from what is really going pn: tell me- when a government is cutting spending on everything from education to health care, is increasing vat taxes, yet has a record government deficit: where is the money going? Exactly- in the pockets of agriculture oligarchs

[@valentineisraelshabangu4069]

They are just looking for a story 😂

[@piepkwiep4312]

Asiel is only 11% of immigrants. The extreme right has a minister of deportation. It's sad and not what normal Dutch citizens want. The housing problem is caused by people who want to make too much money on overpriced houses. Affordable housing is just not interesting for contractors.

​​​​@@GozuTob well we are still good you know. Poland is just climbing from a lower point. We were already there which makes it harder go get economic growth when you are already economic at the peek. The main issue is the ideology control of America/ Russia and China. We need to be a power or our own in Europe.

Around 40.000 asylum seekers ... and the rest of the family is yet to follow ... Asylum should be for our next door neighbors in case of war, a huge catastrophe or something similar but always temporarily. No asylum for those who travel half the world looking for fortune, they have a neighboring country as well where they can be save when there is the need to. There's no room for freeloaders. And sometimes you just have to fight for a better future, as almost all European peoples did. Therefor the Ukrainian people have earned my respect and support where the Afghan people e.g. did not, they choose to surrender to the Taliban. According to my book they have to either accept the consequences of their choises or fight. Running away is no free pass to get asylum in the Netherlands. My ancestors and me myself too worked hard enough to improve life. We did so for our own families and the Dutch people, not for some uninvited, permanent staying cuckoo chicks.

The problem is that we've been lax when the economy was okay, but now it causes economic harm. We should stop all immigration and refocus on what's there now and redraw the lines on what's economic and what isn't. European laws aside, if Poland can choose than so can anyone else

Afterall it was predictable. You might be the kindest person y open your house to all the poor and in need but there will come a moment you will be sick and tired and will say “get out of my house” or “ I want my house back”. These European lows actually opened the boarders for everyone to come and demand money, education, health care, living facilities without giving anything back.
