AMSTERDAM — In the first nine months of this year, almost 100,000 people left the Netherlands to settle elsewhere, 12,000 more than the same period last year.
About half of the emigrants were Dutch natives, the national statistics office CBS said on Friday.
If the trend continues, more than 130,000 people will have left the country by the end of this year.
For the third successive year, the number of emigrants substantially outnumbers immigrants, the CBS said.
The net effect means the Dutch population was reduced in the 2004-06 period by 75,000. In the preceding three years, there was a positive net migration of 75,000...
...In the first nine months of this year, 139,000 babies were born, a decrease of 3,000 compared with the same period in 2005...
And the most popular name for baby boys in the Netherlands is what?...I'm guessing "Mohammed."
Why in the world don't the Dutch stay home and kick out the Muslims? Is it just too un-PC, and they'd rather run?
Where are the Dutch going? The USA, bring it on.
Probably somebody needs to go plug a dyke.
Good luck to them, they'll run head-on into the illegal Mexicans, they'll be greatly outnumbered, and their legal status won't count for anything.
I guesss if we're being honest, why are WE putting up with the take-over of OUR country? Why are we now for the first time a bilingual country?
Wow. What's with all the articles on people leaving Europe. Post above above Germans leaving.
I guess after you've soiled your bed, you don't want to sleep in it.
Lots here in Central Florida..some colonies..good people...industrious entreprenuerial types.
No, thanks, this country does not need a bunch of Socialist, anti-Christian, atheist, Jew-hating Europeans. Don't think that the ones coming here are largely rightists. They're not. They're mostly brainwashed, PC-Marxist dolts fleeing the mess they made in Europe. I'd rather have some poorly educated, hard-working, church-going hotel room cleaning lady from Guatemala than most of these Euros.
Maybe, but "Jihad" is catching up fast, and "Osama" is always a favorite.
...well Hollywood is emmigrating to France, so where does France fit in to all of this?
Years ago CBS 6o Minutes ran a segment called "Dutch Treat" that showed how bad it was in Holland and that in a few short years half the nation would be supporting the other half. Apparently that time arrived and the producers are moving elsewhere.
Speak for yourself with that "bring it on" crap. I have been to the Netherlands a couple of times and I can tell you these people are a bunch of socialists. Besides, their food sucks, and I have yet to meet a Dutchman with any sense of humor, a dour and sour lot if as I have ever come across....
Muslims are parasites with little to offer
When they become the majority in the European nations the nations will be massive worthless economic disaster unsutainable shitholes
