Dutch government collapses over immigration issues

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The Dutch government collapsed Friday because of irreconcilable differences within the four-party coalition about how to rein in migration, a divisive issue that has split nations across Europe.

The resignation of Prime Minister Mark Rutte, the longest-serving premier of the nation, means the country will face a general election later this year. Rutte and his government will remain in office in a caretaker capacity until a new ruling coalition is chosen.

“It is no secret that the coalition partners have very different views on migration policy,” Rutte told reporters in The Hague. “And today, unfortunately, we have to draw the conclusion that those differences are irreconcilable. That is why I will immediately … offer the resignation of the entire Cabinet to the king in writing”


Immigration us a problem in a lot of countries as they try to incorporate the new people as fast as possible

It is becoming an issue in a lot more than America

Hmm… it seems that European member ‘states’ of the EU have found themselves as powerless as US states to enforce immigration law.

Why don't they just build a wall? That solved our problems. And they could get Mexico to pay for it like Trump did.

Europe is on fire!

Controlled citizen right for anyone not a local and immediate castration for any male entering illegally will solve a lot of issues with unrestrained immigration.
