"Anyone convicted of war crimes or sentenced to more than a month in jail is excluded from the new measure." Whew. That'll keep jihadists out. From AKI, with thanks to WriterMom:
Amsterdam, 13 June (AKI) - In a political U-turn, the Dutch parliament has approved residence permits for 30,000 immigrants who applied for and failed to get asylum before 2001. Anyone convicted of war crimes or sentenced to more than a month in jail is excluded from the new measure. The amnesty was proposed last November by the parliament elected in polls that led to the centre-left Labour party entering the governing coalition at the expense of the Liberal VVD party. The governing coalition is led by the Christian Democrats (CDA).Former immigration minister, hardliner Rita Verdonk, ordered the deportation of 26,000 asylum seekers. However, the previous government collapsed last June following a political row sparked by its handling of the disputed citizenship of Somali-born Dutch politician and feminist Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
The immigration issue has gripped Dutch politics since the murders of two prominent campaigners against Muslim extremism - rightwing independent politician Pim Fortuyn and film-maker Theo van Gogh. Van Gogh was murdered in an Amsterdam street in 2004 by a Muslim extremist after his film 'Submission' highlighting domestic violence against Muslim women was aired on Dutch television. Hirsi Ali received death threats over the short film, for which she wrote the screenplay.
only 30.000? the US government is planning an amnesty on 13 million!
I hope they get to bring their extended families and friends along to, perhaps they are related to a bunch on illegal aliens that are here in Florida
Wonder how many Christians, Hindus, Buddists, Annimists, and Bahai's from muslim dominated countries are part of that 30,000. My guess is not any!
Have you seen the mountains of Keysar Trad taqiyya on the Daily Telegraph?

Harry Reid will probably propose this as the amended immigration "reform" bill, word for word.
Is it time yet to exhume Theo's body and drag it across the floor of parliament as a gentle reminder?
When Theo van Gogh was murdered, somebody wrote 'thou shalt not kill' on a housewall nearby. When the 'authorities' had it removed because it was 'offensive to Muslims' I knew that Holland was finished.
Krankzinnigheit.
That's the Dutch word for Insanity.
Maybe that word'll be outlawed shortly.
Once these nice new "guests" get up to speed.
Holland is one of the most crowded pieces of real estate on the planet.
Except for suicidal self-loathing and crippling post-colonial guilt, larded with some poisonous socialistic multiculturalism, why else would they want to cram in more people? (Especially those who have all the charm of humanoid cuckoo's eggs?)
Or are the Nederlanders simply fatally stom?
(Dutch for stupid.)
Leon: You know the government always sugar coats numbers, issues, things. 13 million? try more like 20+ million.
...there is only so much rope to give yourself before the noose tightens enough to snuff you out....
Ban Muslim Immigration...
What an insult to the memory of Theo van Gogh.
This is what happens when the blind lead the country. Like a cancer they are spreading, bringing with them hate and death.
Ban all Muslim Immigration!!
It's an insult to the memory of Van Gogh, to Hirsi Ali, and all those who have died or been threatened by the thugs they are letting in...
Every immigrant that I have met from the Netherlands tells me they will never go back; not even for a visit. They don't even conisider the Netherlands their home anymore. A good example of what the "let's get along and accept other cultures" can do to your way of life and your country. If the West doesn't learn from this example we are doomed indeed.
Arrrggg! The insanity never ends! Is Bush moonlighting? Maybe his insanity is catchy or something.
