writes minister Lodewijk Asscher (Social Affairs) Thursday in a letter to parliament. The minister acknowledges that the integration does not go well and has established research.
Of the 53,000 immigrants still have 47,000 meet the integration. According to the new Civic Integration Act, which came into force on January 1, 2013, newcomers get three years to complete the process successfully.
Of the newcomers were from the first quarter of 2013 on April 1 failed half for the integration examination. For this group, the term is almost or entirely passed. Examines whether it is due to the participant or whether they qualify for an extension of their term.
“No way extension
As far as the VVD is concerned, there can be no question of an extension of the naturalization period. “These figures are alarming,” MP Malik Azmani tells NU.nl. “Three years is a reasonable time in which we ask to learn the language and our habits so that you as a newcomer can and can rotate fast at work in society.”
Azmani indicates that there leniency arrangements exist for example illiterate. “That is right, but for the rest of the newcomers who decide to build a life here, we expect an effort.” For the VVD, this means that the end story for newcomers who do not pass their citizenship.
Labour MP Ahmed Marcouch find the figures “alarming”, but it is not Azmani agree that immigrants who button does not get to be returned. “The Netherlands must refugee law not return to war zone.” For people who really oppose the integration and can be sent back legally, the PvdA is not accommodating, “but my experience is that newcomers are really motivated.”
Self-sufficiency
According to Marcouch the problem should be much more sought in the design of the integration program that “too much is based on self-reliance” of newcomers. “The offer is meager and does not work.” That will also D66 MP Sjoerd Sjoerdsma: “The system is a bureaucratic jungle and goes completely out of the self-sufficiency of the status holder for the government means self-reliance which immigrants and refugees are left to their fate.”.
If this policy continues, the D66′er fears “integrate disaster assistance explosion,” especially now that a new group of refugees captured from Syria, Iraq and Eritrea in the Netherlands. Asscher wrote in the letter that asylum migrants score worse than family migrants. That is precisely why the integration needs to be overhauled, will Sjoerdsma “The integration program is no good, the government must ensure that newcomers learn the language which is the first step to turning Others end up these people on welfare….”
Practice
Marcouch believes that language alone is not enough. “Integration is more than language. It is also a matter that we immerse newcomers to our values, our history and our acquired rights for gay men and women.”
He advocates to make integration much more practical example by visiting the LGBT organization COC and city walks in Amsterdam, for example to reflect on as the Dutch theater where Dutch Jews in the Second World War by the Nazis were collected to be deported to concentration camps. That would stop immigrants do more to gay acceptance, the Holocaust and anti-Semitism.
“Now it’s too focused on theory and no practice. If you want to drive, you have a theory exam not ready to sit behind the wheel, “said Marcouch
