The Dutch Government Hits Back Against Immigrationism, By Richard Miller (Europe)
We have not heard much in the mainstream media from the Geert Wilders-led government, probably because it has been chipping away at immigrationism. The government is now seeking to impose limits upon immigration and asylum seeking, and a population policy to keep the Netherlands from surpassing 20 million people by 2050. This differs from the UK, where its immigration policy is set to lead to Whites being as minority population by that time, as is likely to occur in Australia as well, as demography results in Australia becoming part of communist China.
"The Dutch government is looking to impose a hard limit on the nation's population in a measure to limit mass migration into the country.
Following a report from the government's State Committee on Demographic Developments, which called for The Netherlands to impose restrictions to prevent the nation from surpassing 20 million residents by 2050, the Geert Wilders-led government is looking to enact limits on immigration and asylum seeking as it seeks to implement its election mandate of imposing strict immigration controls.
There are currently around 18 million people living in The Netherlands, making it one of the most population dense nations in the world. According to broadcaster NOS, the government would need to limit all immigration, including asylum seekers, to around 68,000 per year to avoid surpassing the threshold of 20 million by the middle of the century.
Echoing Donald Trump, MP Maikel Boon, who represented Wilders' Party for Freedom (PVV) in the population cap debate in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, argued that it is imperative for the government to build a "a society in which the Dutch come first again."
The PVV parliamentarian also pointed to research from leading Dutch mathematician Jan van de Beek, who found that 80 per cent of immigrants in the country are a net drain on government resources. Furthermore, Boon noted, the research found that the total costs associated with immigration were double that of the costs of supporting an aging society, undercuting the argument that immigration is needed to bolster the economy.
Reflecting the changing mood in The Netherlands, and in Europe more broadly, former Eurocrat turned leader of the left-wing GreenLeft–Labour party, Frans Timmermans, signalled on Wednesday that his traditionally pro-mass migration party would likely support the government in enacting a population cap.'
