If the Netherlands doesn´t stop their , anti EU immigrant stance, they are going to end up the poorest country with nobody wanting to do international business with this country or allow Dutch citizens to visit other countries outside of EU.

Sandra's idea is not totally right. If the netherlands doesnt stop their anti eu immigrant... for non muslims and democracy supported people( ie civilized people) and i think a test of democracy and gay rights should be done before the person enter the nation. All of the thing is to make the nation more peaceful with unhatred.
