Record Number of Immigrants to the Netherlands


In 2008 a record 140,000 immigrants entered the Netherlands. One explanation for this is the number of “import brides” which increased by 30% to over 15,000. Parliamentarian Paul de Krom of the opposition Liberal Party (VVD) said that the Netherlands is regressing to the 1990s and the government hasn’t learned anything from the past.www.elsevier.nl/web/10236710/Nieuws/Nederland/Aantal-importbruiden-enorm-toegenomen.htm?rss=true
