This is all well and good, but if the Dutch dont want immigrants and dont have children, who exactly will take care of them when they are old?
Gee, do ya think the Muslims will take care of the Dutch when they're older. They will, but not in the way the Dutch would like 'em too. Embracing gay marriage, not having children, and inviting in Muslim immigrants is as close to commiting suicide as a socity can come.

We have a few million surplus illegal Mexicans we could send to them.
I was in Amsterdam several months aqo on business and got a good look at the situation and talked to some of the academics in my field--who actually were friendlier regarding the US than our own academics.
In and out to the airport, the taxi drivers were both Dutch. Both were insane (no, make that crazed) on the subject of Muslims. Neither one had a single practical solution to the issue--in fact, neither had heard of what they might do (I asked.)
But the Dutch are in a terrible jam--all of their own making. Few want to invest in the Netherlands. The rich Dutch make investments outside of the Netherlands. Their young people (such as there are) have no real interest in working. The social programs cost gudzillions of Euro's, but they can't keep them going without massive influxes of resources. No leader can really lead since that means the Dutch will have to come to grips with what they have done--and that they have been trained not to do.
Oh, yes, when you get back from Amsterdam, tell me if you have ever seen a filthier city in its downtown area.
We should be taking lessons . . . !
