I have no problem with legal immigrants. I have a huge problem with hooligans, and think that a crime such as this is enough to deny them potential citizenship and all benefits.
Well, maybe one benefit. A one way bus ticket home.
Most decent immigrants are refused to take refugee here. People from Iran and Iraq with high educations are send back. There was a documentary of a familiy living for 6 years now in the Netherlands. Their children spoke almost perfect Dutch (unlike most other immigrants who skip the courses). But they would be sent back in a short while.
But a lot of people from Somalia throw away their passports after stepping out of the plane and lie to the INS (Immigration service). Even when they are caught lying or are proven criminals, they get to stay here!
Recently the government started an investigation to see how it is possible thousands (!) of Somalian kids are 'smuggled' by plane into the Netherlands to recieve child-support, that is cashed by the criminals who arrange them to come over.
For years this has been going on and while everybody knew about it, nobidy stopped it. Now people are waking up and believe me, the voters didn't vote for right parties en-masse because of the way CDA-leader Balkenede looks like Harry Potter!
