Anti-Islam party wants new definition of ´non-native´

The anti-Islam party PVV has called on the government to extend the formal definition of non-native or allochtoon residents of the Netherlands to include third generation immigrants.


In an interview with website nu.nl, PVV MP Joram van Klaveren says that by considering third-generation immigrants to be Dutch, it is impossible to get a good idea of how integrated they are into Dutch society.
´Non-western immigrants are still over-represented in the crime figures. Soon we won´t see that any more because they will be classified as natives,´ Van Klaveren said.
Some 80% of third generation immigrants are younger than 10 years old.
