"Unemployed Poles will have to leave country," headlines De Volkskrant in its report on new measures to regulate workers from other EU countries proposed by the Minister of Social Affairs and Employment, Henk Kamp of the liberal VVD party.
According to the daily, the rules "will be reinforced. Those who cannot provide for themselves will have to leave."
So they'll deport unemployed Poles. What about unemployed Somalis?
If the proposals are accepted "immigrants who have been out of work for more than three months will have to leave" and there will also be stricter sanctions against foreign criminals.
The mayor of The Hague, who has spoken of a "tsunami of Eastern workers," and his counterpart in Rotterdam both voiced their support for the measures.
However, the polish ambassador has said that the plan "is a subject for concern." De Volkskrant also announces that migrants from Europe and also from Turkey and Morocco who apply for welfare benefits "will have to demonstrate a mastery of the Dutch language."
However, the daily also notes that these measures will require the modification of a number of European directives. Continued on Page 47

these measures will require the modification of a number of European directives.
At a minimum. They can get as frustrated as they want, but their hands are tied. The EU is built on "the four freedoms": free movement of goods, services, capital, and labor (i.e., people). The point of "the European project" was to remove barriers to movement and "harmonize" national laws, which concentrated and centralized decision-making at the top. So to solve their immigration problems, really, they'd have to dismantle the EU borg altogether. Good luck with that.

I like the part "Deport Unemployed Foreigners" better.

The NATO mandate does not mandate participating in local civil wars that do not have an impact on NATO member security. This theator of operations should demonstrate why.

Were on a collision course with the rough terrain of a changing world, and the turbulence buffeting Europe is of a kind not seen for more than 20 years. But back then we had a steady pilot the United States
You mean back when we had a Prisident named Bush? You mean back when the United States was the "hyperpower"?

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.

over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
