Police in the Netherlands are imploring government officials to increase deportations of illegal aliens who commit repeated crimes in that country.
The Dutch Police Union (NPB) issued an appeal to politicians after an officer’s tweet drawing attention to the issue went viral.
Officer Bas Wijnen wrote that he had recently encountered a man of Moroccan descent who had nearly 600 recorded incidents.
“Yesterday I picked up a colleague from the aliens office and we went to de Mare together with 2 police students,” Wijnen wrote. “There they picked up an undesirable stranger. This Moroccan man, an acquaintance of ours (579 registrations & 155 priors!), had just been released (2 years of detention(ISD)) and went to de Mare.”
“I continue to find it strange that we cannot put such a person on a plane to their country of origin.”
The tweet attracted a large amount of attention from Dutch media, which lead to the NPB publicly supporting Wijnen.
Union Chairman Jan Struijs says police resources are often used by by dealing with such repeat offenders who are illegal aliens.
“The reality is that these people, especially young men, are walking around, have no income and are committing crimes all the time,” Struijs told Hart van Nederland.
“You have to arrest such a person, you have to transfer him, he has to be locked up, the police report has to be drawn up, you have to write down what happened. You just lost six hours to someone like that. We would rather use that capacity to solve murders or do other serious business. It takes a lot of capacity.”
