They're Not Criminals...
...They're just here Illegally! At least, that's what Immigration Service spokesman Martin Bruinsma had to say about the new Detention Centers that the Netherlands has just brought online.
- "The difference with a prison is that these people are not criminals. They were just staying in the Netherlands illegally," said Immigration Service spokesman Martin Bruinsma. "They will be able to walk around the complex and there are more facilities than in a prison."
A crackdown on immigration in the Netherlands began after 2002 elections in which the anti-immigration party of the late politician Pim Fortuyn won more than 10 percent of the national vote.
