Dutch government leaked yesterday that they are intending declaring an immigration crisis based on the country's inability to cope any longer. There's already a shortage of 390,000 dwellings and the only asylum centre left open, they've shut the rest, is overly full. Full to the extent that it has a limit of 2000 "inhabitants" on any night. That was being exceeded every night so the Council in whose area it's situated took them to Court and got a ruling that the centre would be fined £15K for every night they exceeded that number to a maximum fine of £1.5M. The centre is funded by the taxpayer. So, the taxpayer has paid £1.5M to the Council. The Law dictates that the Council has to spend the money on immigration related things. The max was reached a cople of months ago and the Council is now considering going back to Court to be able to impose more fines.... which the taxpayer will be funding. Utter madness.

The soon to be declared crisis will mean it will become more difficult for asylum seekers to even enter the country and those who have already had their applications refused can be much easier to remove from the country.

They are also going to approach "Brussels" to get an opt out from much of the stuff they currently have to adhere to for a period of 18 months. Pretty much what Germany did last week.
