Asylum distribution law won't be dropped this year despite prior promise, says minister
NL TimesThe proposal to abolish the Asylum Distribution Law will not be submitted by the end of this year after all. That is another blow to the PVV’s “strictest asylum policy ever.” Scrapping the Asylum Distribution Law, which obliges municipalities to take in their fair share of asylum seekers, was a big part of the coalition agreement. Now, the government will only submit the bill to scrap the Asylum Distribution Law for advice and implementation tests by the police and immigration service IND in the first quarter of next year. Faber still intends to submit the Emergency Asylum Measures Act, which includes measures intended to reduce the influx of asylum seekers, for advice and implementation assessments before the end of this year. Measures in the Emergency Asylum Measures Act include limiting refugee residency permits to three years, making it easier to declare a convicted asylum seeker an undesirable alien and evicting them, and no longer allowing family reunification for unmarried partners or adult children.
