Dutch people try to stop asylum seekers with own border controls at German border
On Saturday and Sunday nights, a group of Dutch citizens gathered at the border between Ter Apel and Rütenbrock in Germany with the intention of performing their own border controls and stopping asylum seekers from entering the Netherlands.

Personally, i think we (i’m Dutch) need to at the very least, consider rethinking our “asiel beleid”. This unhappyness is not something that came out of thin air. This asylum policy has been an issue for many years, and our government fails to address it every time.
But ordinary citizens should not play for law makers and law enforcers. Thats a very dangerous and slippery path we’re on :(
You’re right, it didn’t come out of thin air, it’s a sustained fearmongering campaign by the far-right parties to scare dumb people into voting against their own interests.
And how exactly, is voting for a stricter asylum policy, voting against one’s selfinterest?
Because those that shout the racist politics are also doing all the policies for the rich. Are you rich? Otherwise they are not pushing policies that benefit you, except you don't see people of different color when you leave your house. If that is more important to you than education, science, environment, health, culture and many others.... than you are likely simply a racist =D
I’m not rich. Nor do i vote for populist screamers. My view is, that everyone is making a mess of it. Wether it’s the right or the left.
I love how my comments get downvoted. There’s a lot more stupidity then just those that vote for Wilders.
Your comments are downvoted because you are legitimizing racism. Also, feel free not to call others "stupid".
Nowhere have i said its okay to be racist. You really shouldn’t put words in people’s mouth. In my original post i said that we need to rethink our policies. Thats quite different from beeing racist.
And also, if people already label me a racist, then why not enjoy it while i can.
You're actually putting words in my mouth. Interesting. I said your line of argumentation legitimizes racism. I.e., it portrays this anti-immigrant push as something rational which it really isn't. It's based in humans being flawed in their pattern recognition, they easily identify people with the wrong kind of beard but they have a very hard time finding out who systematically takes away their rights.
No, it does not.
I find it bezarre that rethinking a policy, in some people’s mind is the same as legalizing racism. Really bizarre.
Thats the problem with modern day politics. Either you’re left or right. There’s no in between anymore.
If they solved the crisis, they’d lose their voters. There is no incentive to solve it.
Fair enough. But the same could be said for all parties.
This asylum policy has been an issue for many years, and our government fails to address it every time.
What's the issue arising from the current asylum policy?
