The Netherlands has extended its border controls for six months, impacting both land and air travel within the Schengen zone. This move, aimed at reducing illegal immigration, aligns with similar actions taken by neighboring Germany and includes stricter asylum policies to limit migrant inflows.
The Netherlands has announced a six-month extension of border controls, impacting both land and air travel within the Schengen zone. This move, which follows similar actions by neighboring Germany, aims to curb illegal immigration and is part of a broader package of measures proposed by the right-wing PVV party.
In addition to the border controls, the Dutch government is tightening asylum policies. This includes limiting asylum permits to a maximum of three years and restricting the ability of asylum seekers to reunite with family members.
Minister of Asylum and Migration, Marjolein Faber, stressed that the expanded mandate for border checks will help Dutch authorities manage migration more effectively. She explained that the measures are designed to reduce the inflow of migrants, asserting that she remains confident in the ability of the Marechaussee, the Dutch armed forces, to efficiently carry out their duties.
Faber also noted that the Dutch government’s approach mirrors that of Germany, where similar measures have been successful.
Despite opposition from some groups, the Dutch government remains determined to implement its migration policies, reinforcing its stance on tackling illegal immigration with these new controls.
