Netherlands to impose land border controls starting Dec 9 to curb migration, trafficking.

The Dutch government plans to impose land border controls starting December 9th, lasting six months, to address irregular migration and human trafficking. This measure, led by the right-wing coalition, includes stricter asylum rules and family reunification limits. The border checks, conducted by the Marechaussee, aim to control the movement of people across Dutch borders with Germany and Belgium, following similar actions by France and Germany. Despite falling asylum numbers, the government seeks to tighten immigration policies.
