For almost a decade and 18 year ol boy from Angola lived, loved, studied, made mistakes, laughed in the Netherlands. Now he is 18 he needs to go back to his country of origin. We invested for almost a decade in his Dutch language skills, he made friends, yearns for a prosperous future and knows nothing about life back in Angola. Rules are rules and we don't want to give the wrong signal to illegal people.
A civilized country would have done the oposit. We invested in this young man, he loves our great country, worked hard and has a future. This is the signal we should give to immigrants. Learn Dutch, Work hard, be nice and you are welcome!
