US State Dept says Ayaan Hirsi Ali is welcome to come
A Somali-born lawmaker who may lose her Dutch citizenship because she lied on her asylum application is welcome to move to the United States, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick said on Thursday (May 18)...Zoellick, on a visit to the Netherlands, told journalists Hirsi Ali would be admitted to his country. "The government of the Netherlands is still discussing her ultimate status and that is for the Netherlands to determine along the way, but she is obviously welcome to the United States," Zoellick said. He added that if she did move to the United States her status would depend on decisions taken by the Dutch government and that her special security needs would be attended to. "I am not going to comment on specific security matters but obviously she needs to be taken care of," Zoellick said. Posted by: mhw 2006-05-18 |
