  1. We chose the Netherlands …… wow 2 weeks ago his brothers violently attacked Israeli citizens in Amsterdam. We’re they arrested and deported by now?

  2. The Netherlands need Remigration, nothing else will work in Europe. If you’re worried about AI replacing your job why do you want to inundate yourself with foreigners? Ludicrous. Especially getting violent low intelligence Muslims from Muslim Nations. Time to go back home. Otherwise you won’t have the numbers to send them out in 20 years. You have 1 Generation left to Save Your Demographic Nation.

  3. Women like Karen Geertsema are the problem too in this country. HYPOCRITE. That victim role she takes on and not talk about the facts is a very disturbing disease we have amongst us walking and making decisions for the rest of the people here.

  4. In colonial times the indigenous people were not asked .People from uk, Netherlands, Germany, Spain etc swarmed into africa, the middle east, the far east, India, South America, Australia and so on. The colonisers didn't ask for asylum, they just grabbed, killed, plundered and declared it all theirs. Now they jump up and down because some of these peoples want to come to THEIR homes.. The Europeans are complaining that they are changing the " fabric" of their countries!! The mind boggles.

  5. People from other countries want to come to The Netherlands because it is safe but they are the ones making it unsafe. The Netherlands continues to welcome immigrants who integrate. Just because they are in Europe, why should they do whatever stupid thing other European countries do.

  6. A lot of migration, especially from conflict zones and places bearing the brunt of pollution and climate change, is at least partly the fault of policies and practices that originate in the wealthier global north ntions. That's also true of the migration to the U.S. from Latin America- for many decades the U.S. has meddled in and ousted even democratically elected governments and imposed crippling sanctions just because these countries chose not to let global capitalism raid their resources and dictate how they run their economies. The U.S. and european nations also arm and fund wars across the world which also displaces people.

  7. I used to be very pro immigrant until i "served" a middle eastern man in a customer service setting. He told me to "get away" until I can find a man to serve him. You come here for freedom, just to limit the freedom of others to work and thrive?

  8. You chose the Netherlands because it has a generous social welfare system, stop lying. You run away from your dictators and try to spread Islamism in the West.

  9. Sorry Pal, GO home and make Syria Great Again. Muslims have ruined Europe. A once peaceful continent has now become a raging cauldron of rapes, murders and unrest. Enough already – Get a clue. The Cultures DO NOT MIX.

  10. I get many want a new life for their families but those that just want freebies and come to commit crimes which makes it difficult for those who want to work etc

    Even in the USA this asylum seeking immigration has gotten out of hand!!!!

  11. This is what happens whem the west destroy these counties in the name if liberating only to loot natural resources. These people have no choice but to come live with you. 😅😅😅
