Omtzigt calls for firm cap most immigration at 50,000 people per year

Pieter Omtzigt (NSC) wants to cap migration to the Netherlands at 50,000 people annually. That includes asylum seekers, migrant workers, knowledge migrants (ex-pats), and students, he said during his chance to speak in the general budget debate on Wednesday. Omtzigt linked the housing shortage to migration. “We are currently 390,000 homes short. If we want to solve the housing shortage, we cannot allow such a large migration flow: 107,000 people in 2021 and 223,000 in 2022. If you build 70,000 homes per year, your waiting lists will only increase,” he said.
