A lot of people fly from their country to other countries and are asking for asylum in the country they fled to. In the Netherlands there are thousands of such people, they came from other parts of Europe, mainly eastern-Europe, from Africa and all kind of other places.

Every city in the Netherlands and a lot of villages have a so called AZC (Asiel Zoeker Centrum) where people who are waiting for asylum being granted or not. Those people usually don't speak Dutch and often speak English badly. So it is very hard for them and for us to integrate them in the Dutch society.

Also in the city where I live we have a few hundreds of those people, I have no problem with them, I understand they fled because of war or hunger or other things and they can find a safe place here.

But the number of people who don't like those people staying here is growing, mainly because

1. It costs a lot of money, those people need food, money, clothes and a house.
2. Those people often don't speak a language we know.
3. Those people usually find it hard to accept our way of living and culture, especially if they are from an country where Islam is the main religion.
4. The number of those people is still growing.

I can understand it, the Dutch also have their own problems, but in my opinion we must help those people as good as we can.

Do you in your countries also have such problems?
