AMSTERDAM About 20,000 Dutch people have serious plans to emigrate permanently, demographic research institute NIDI said on Wednesday.
In general, those with serious plans to emigrate have at least a diploma from upper secondary vocational education (MBO) and are aged between 35 and 44. They often earn a good income.
"Just" 2 percent of the Dutch population aged 15 or older is thinking of emigrating in the future, while about one in 10 of this group has serious plans.
This means, from an adult population of 13.2 million, some 250,000 are thinking of emigrating and about 20,000 have serious plans to leave.
Dutch people who want to emigrate want to escape the high population density of the country, the Dutch mentality, crime and the lack of quiet, NIDI said.
In total, 80 percent of people who wish to emigrate think the Netherlands is too densely populated and 77 percent negatively assess the Dutch mentality.
This is in contrast to media reports citing the murders of Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh, immigration and integration problems and anti-social behaviour as the main factors prompting people to emigrate.
According to NIDI, more than 112,000 people left the Netherlands last year, compared with 90,000 who entered the country, prompting the research bureau to start studying emigration in January.
The traditionally popular destination lands of Canada and Australia remain a common choice, but are difficult places in which to gain residence status. France is listed in third place.
Belgium and Germany are not listed as favourite destinations. This is possibly due to the fact that moving to these two countries is not considered emigrating.
Most emigrants who do move to Belgium or Germany live just across the border to maintain contact with the Netherlands. Their main reason for leaving is fiscal advantages or lower house prices.
Ping...
The quickest way that I can think of to hand your country over to radial Islamofascists is to just leave it.
Unfortunately, I'm sure the people feel powerless in the face of an apparent impotent government unwilling to acknowledge the threat faced by its culture. What are the options? Civil war or emigration? That's why every time CAIR, MAS and other fronts for the Muslim Brotherhood tell another lie about the religion of peace and Mohammed (poop be on his head), we need to stand in their face and shout lier.
Wherever liberals and/or islamofascists take over, misery and chaos soon follow.
All the above have two things in common; 1) they had the money and resources to get out rather than fight (& in the case of the Tories, get kicked up to Canada when we won our Revolution...); and 2) prove that Patriotism is about more than taking the easy way out.
I guess the Arabs don't believe in euthanasia?
Islamists could blow up a town hall, and if CAIR comes out and tells them Islam is a religion of peace, and that they want to co-exist peacefully with other non-Muslim Americans, these same Americans who just had their town hall destroyed will smile and nod, accepting whatever they are told, all in the name of political correctness. All in the name of not offending the poor Muslims. Meanwhike CAIR and other groups like it are smiling and licking their chops as they plan further domination of America. Make no mistake, that is EXACTLY what they want. Total control and domination.
Don't think it's true? Then why is it ok in some American towns to have the muezzin call sounding out the call to prayer over loud speakers but church bells are considered an infringement of church and state?
Americans need to wake up or go the way of Europe. Slow decent into Islamist chaos.
I hate saying these kinds of things because I feel like an idiotic alarmist, but when the facts are staring me in the face...
They believe in YOU then Asia.
But the Netherlands, apart from city states, is the most densely populated country in the world.
Wait a minute, "the government"? They are the government. They whine and cry for this socialist life then run when it crumbles? They should stay put and fix it.
Hey,Fridaythe13th,...Islamofascists obvious target,DUTCH ,...from today's NYTimes pg A7 , 2 Bosnian Muslim Families Sue Dutch Over Srebrenica Massacre ,...this appears to involve $$$$$,and UN liability , screwy stuff
