Immigration costs Belgium7.67 billion euros annually
- - - - - - - - -Jean-Marie Dedecker of the Flemish party LDD [List Dedecker ] has published his new book 
 Headscarf or blindfold?
[“Hoofddoek of blinddoek?”]. In this book the LDDchairman and Senator made matchwood of immigration and Islam’s desire for conquest.For six months there has already been the book Inch’Allahby Filip Dewinter (VlaamsBelang [Flemish Interest]). By and large Dedecker comes to a similar analysis, but has adifferent approach to it. Dewinter wants immigrants [who refuse to integrate, or arehighly criminal — translator] out, and the border closed [to more immigration fromMuslim countries — translator]. Dedecker accepts that they are here and will not goaway. They continue to be welcome in his view, if they want to perform, not to exploit[not unlike the standpoint of Dewinter — translator].In his eyes up until now that was not the case, however. His criticism, substantiatedwith many figures, comes down to:
They are a threat to our separation of church and state.
70 percent of crime is connected with immigrants.
60 percent of social housing in our cities is occupied by immigrants.
 Nowhere is unemployment as high as it is among immigrants in Belgium. Their unemployment benefits cost 1.2 billion euros a year.
Every year immigration costs our country 7.67 billion euros, or 2.2 percentof GDP
.Even the issue with Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde is, according to Dedecker, a spinoff of immigration.

Brussels already has 52 percent immigrants. Therefore the French-speaking citizens of Brussels now move en masse to the Flemish fringe of Brussels and beyond. Certainly the LDD chairman wants us to radically change our migration policies. “We must stop pampering the immigrants. Half of the suffering would have been over if we stopped the positive discrimination.” Obviously Dedecker hereby refersto Belgian social security.
Note:[1]
Brussels has almost completely has lost its original Dutch (Flemish) identity sincethe takeover by the French in 1830, and the identity vacuum has for a few decades beingfilled up by a Muslim identity. In Brussels this is the result of a deliberate policy; theSocialist mayor of Antwerp said in 2000 that immigrants should be granted citizenshipand voting rights on the grounds that “VB is […] over-represented as the immigrantsare not allowed to vote”. The Walloon Socialist Moureaux managed to have a law passed in parliament in 2004 that offered voting rights to immigrants.Philippe Moureaux, the leader of the Brussels PS [Walloon Socialist Party] and themayor of Molenbeek, a Brussels suburb with one of the largest concentrations of NorthAfrican immigrants, has been selling out to them ever since he became mayor.Moureaux declared in 2005 that it was “not expedient” for the police to patrol inMuslim quarters and he prohibited police officers from drinking coffee or eatingsandwiches on the streets during Ramadan. Moureaux hopes to get the Muslim voteduring the municipal elections. This Walloonization and Islamization has made the
 
return of Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde to Flanders a complicated issue. [source:BrusselsJournal]

It’s alsoabout the threat to the separation between Church and State. Furthermore, I prove that70 percent of our crime has to do with immigrants and that 60 percent of social housingin our cities is occupied by immigrants.”The debate on the relationship between immigration and crime is studiously avoided,statedDedecker. Nobody can deny that the immigrant community is proportionallyover-represented in crime statistics. “Islamo-Socialism has created social swamps rather than having muffled it. These hotbeds of lawlessness and crime are subject to theStockholm syndrome of the aid addicts,” he says concerning the Brussels situation.Furthermore, he speaks out against the lax policies on family reunification and fakemarriages. The new “amnesty” (regularization) procedure may immediately lead to109,000 and eventually through family reunification to 381,000 new residents.In the second part of the book Jean-Marie Dedecker deals with the radicalization of 
 
Islam in Europe and the attitude of European society in response to this. He defines theterm “dhimmitude” as a bootlicking attitude and capitulation to Islam. It is anintellectual surrender, of sacrificing freedom for a false sense of security. The mostdangerous expression of that to him is the limitation of free speech. He also resists pleasto give Sharia a place in Western legal system: “Sharia restricts religious freedom,undermines the position of women, and humiliates all those who are not Muslim.”Update onThe Price Tag on Dutch Multiculturalism:
Wilders: a failure to answerquestions on the cost of immigrationis misconduct
Geert Wilders will not accept that Integration Minister Eberhard van der Laan (PvdA,Socialists) refuses to answer his questions on the costs of immigration. Wilders wantsParliament to investigate whether Van der Laan is committing misconduct. Accordingto Wilders, a minister simply must answer questions from MPs. If a minister intentionally does not do that, he would violate the Constitution and it might beconsidered misconduct.Five PVV parliamentarians (Wilders himself, Sietse Fritsma, Fleur Agema, Raymondde Roon and Martin Bosma), have senta letter to the chairman of the House in whichthey ask for a study of the matter. Subsequently a majority in parliament should thensupport the proposal before it will actually be executed.The PVVers rely on a law dating from 1855, which states that a minister must complywith the Constitution and thus has an obligation to inform. He can be prosecuted if hefails.Recently, the PVV launchedthe website:http://www.watkostdemassaimmigratie.nl/: “The Party for Freedom (PVV) has launched the new website“what-does-mass-immigration-cost”(WKDMI) [as announced inthe speechby Wilders in parliament on September 16, 2009 — translator]. The Dutch have a right to know the costs of the massimmigration and what savings could be achieved if immigration were limited. All Dutchare therefore welcome to send a response.”Just two examples of the numerous interesting and tips added in comments on “what-does-mass-immigration-cost”:the first, also picked up by GeenStijl.nl: Elderly [Moroccan, Somali and Iraqi]immigrant women in Gouda, recently started  being transported with a “customized” van to and from the day care and the care center Korte Akkeren in Gouda. “This is necessary because a number of older immigrantwomen cannot tell time from a clock and thus usually missed their bus connection. Inaddition, many women are not allowed to be brought to and from the care centers by aman,” Moustapha El Baroudi said, spokesman for Care Council Middle-Holland that purchased the van. “We believe that anyone can tell time from a clock, but that is notthe case. Older immigrant women have always worked in and around the house and didnot concern themselves with things like telling time.”According to spokesman Moustapha El Baroudi, of [the subsidized] Care DiscussionsCentral Holland that purchased the van, the men and the children used to watch theclock for the women. “But now, when the man is deceased and the children have lefthome, they remain on their own. The woman knows that she will be picked up, but notwhen it is half past eight. So she’s not ready when the driver arrives at her door. A
