The immigration policies of Geert Wilders

Here are Wilders' policies on immigration:

Designed primarily to prevent marriage and family unification migration, he urged for Dutch borders to be closed for five years to non-western immigrants. No more asylum seekers should be allowed to enter the country.

Focusing on integration, Wilders said the present non-committal integration policy should be scrapped. Instead, those who do no integrate adequately and do not have Dutch citizenship should be forced out of the country immediately. Islamic schools should also be abolished, he said.

Islamic veils should be banned during public functions, Wilders said, adding that an immigrant must not have committed a crime for 10 years to qualify for Dutch citizenship. Up until that time, immigrants may not claim social security and voting rights for all non-Dutch nationals at council elections should be abolished.
