Well, yeah, that does reflect the opinion of D66, and that is why am leaving that party, because this mindset is cynical and evil. It's like seeing somebody drown and shout help, and instead of doing something, you shout back "First tell me, what would I get out of saving you? What profit would that bring me?"
(let us be honest they are mostly immigrants not refugees)
Dishonest statements starting with the words "let us be honest" are horrible. Don't do that. You have no idea what percentage of people in the camps in Greece in Italy are "actual" refugees, or how this is determined. When I hear somebody say "let's be honest, they are not refugees", I hear "Let's be dishonest about disliking icky brown people getting their subhuman feet al over our pristine Boreal soil". And, surprise, that royally annoys me about Sigrid Kaag.
We took so many already, we don't need any more.
What I know is that several asylum seeker centers in NL are currently empty, as much as 25% of the budget of the COA is spent on maintaining those empty location. The capacity to take in asylum seekers was basically set during the Balkan Crisis, way back when, and we are not at that level by a long shot. So, "We took so many already" is evidently a false statement. by any objective metric.
And again: what we "need" does not play into it, just like, when you see somebody drown, you do not "need" that person to survive, to keep leading a happy life yourself. So, you would let that person die, I assume. And that is why you are going to vote "We Laten Iedereen Vrij, Maar We Laten Niemand Vallen (behalve.....)", and I will not.
