How's This For a Twist On Immigration? Dutch Offer To Pay Bosnian Immigrants To Leave and Go Back Home


Hey, maybe America has been approaching the whole illegal immigrant problem the wrong way! Since some in America claim that we can't feasibly deport 15 million illegal aliens, perhaps we can just pay them to go back to Mexico! LOL

This article from Adnkronos discusses a new proposal from The Netherlands that would not only pay the moving expenses of 30,000 Bosnian immigrants to go back to Bosnia, but would pay them "life benefits." I kid you not.

From the article:

The Netherlands has offered life benefits to Bosnians who settled in the country in the wake of the 1992-1995 war, if they decide to return home, Bosnian Ministry for Human Rights and Refugees said on Wednesday.

The Netherlands has offered life benefits to Bosnians who settled in the country in the wake of the 1992-1995 war, if they decide to return home, Bosnian Ministry for Human Rghts and Refugees said on Wednesday.

The ministry said it was informed by Netherlands authorities that the Dutch government would pay travelling expenses to returnees of up to 1,500 euros and life benefits to persons over 45 years of age.

The monthly benefits for individuals would be 470 euros, or 670 euros per married couple, the ministry said.

It is estimated that some 30,000 Bosnians settled in the Netherlands after the war and many have failed to integrate into Dutch society.

The Dutch government said it was a “quality solution for all foreigners who have failed to integrate into Dutch society”.

Now, since the article won't come out and say it...those Bosnian immigrants who have failed to integrate or assimilate into Dutch society...let's see, who would they be? Could they just possibly be muslim immigrants? I mean, what segment of people would escape war torn Bosnia years ago and come to The Netherlands and then refuse to integrate into Dutch society that the Dutch government is willing to pay them to get out? I think we've answered that question, don't you?



Bosnia: Dutch offer Bosnians monthly repatriation benefits


The Netherlands has offered life benefits to Bosnians who settled in the country in the wake of the 1992-1995 war, if they decide to return home, Bosnian Ministry for Human Rights and Refugees said on Wednesday.

Sarajevo 5 Jan. (AKI) - The Netherlands has offered life benefits to Bosnians who settled in the country in the wake of the 1992-1995 war, if they decide to return home, Bosnian Ministry for Human Rghts and Refugees said on Wednesday.

The ministry said it was informed by Netherlands authorities that the Dutch government would pay travelling expenses to returnees of up to 1,500 euros and life benefits to persons over 45 years of age.

The monthly benefits for individuals would be 470 euros, or 670 euros per married couple, the ministry said.

It is estimated that some 30,000 Bosnians settled in the Netherlands after the war and many have failed to integrate into Dutch society.

The Dutch government said it was a “quality solution for all foreigners who have failed to integrate into Dutch society”.

The participants in the repatriation program would be allowed a one year trial period, after which they would have the right to return to the Netherlands. After that period, they would have to renounce Dutch citizenship and lose residential rights, the government said.

In view of Bosnia’s crippled economy, huge unemployment and average monthly wage below 300 euros, it is generally expected that the repatriation program would yield good results.
