As America continues to drift further and further toward the abyss of unsustainable liberalism, those who have “been there, done that” know better and are going in exactly the opposite direction.
As reported in part at the reference, the Dutch FINALLY recognize that the insanity of multiculturalism needs to be reversed:
A new integration bill which Dutch Interior Minister Piet Hein Donner presented to parliament on June 16, reads: "The government shares the social dissatisfaction over the multicultural society model and plans to shift priority to the values of the Dutch people. In the new integration system, the values of the Dutch society play a central role. With this change, the government steps away from the model of a multicultural society."
The letter continues: "A more obligatory integration is justified because the government also demands that from its own citizens. It is necessary because otherwise the society gradually grows apart and eventually no one feels at home anymore in the Netherlands. The integration will not be tailored to different groups."
The new integration policy will place more demands on immigrants. For example, immigrants will be required to learn the Dutch language, and the government will take a tougher approach to immigrants to ignore Dutch values or disobey Dutch law.
The government will also stop offering special subsidies for Muslim immigrants because, according to Donner, "it is not the government's job to integrate immigrants." The government will introduce new legislation that outlaws forced marriages and will also impose tougher measures against Muslim immigrants who lower their chances of employment by the way they dress. More specifically, the government will impose a ban on face-covering Islamic burqas as of January 1, 2013.”
Imagine that! A society where no one feels at home!
Sounds eerily like California and other U.S. states inundated with millions of uneducated, non-English speaking invaders from Mexico and points south.
Been to Los Angeles or New York City lately?
The notion that "it is not the government's job to integrate immigrants," is a vital truth that is clearly lost on President Obama and Janet Napolitano and the Democrat Party!
The Dutch have also hit gold with their requirement that immigrants learn the home language and accept home land values. More truths lost on Democrats!
OMG! Are those bleeping Dutch out of their bleeping minds? What about inclusiveness, open borders, and all of the other stupidity that has America headed toward a third-world status akin to dreary old Mexico?
Clearly, the Dutch have been infested with racism and Islamaphobia!
Or, looking at it logically, the Dutch have finally seen the light and recognize that multiculturalism is a crock that serves nobody!
Democrats in America should acquaint themselves with the awful consequences of multiculturalism before pushing amnesty for 20 million illegal aliens! Do it for the citizens!
