Europeans are burning the illegal immigrants! The French goes to the place where they're housed and set the place ablaze. Twice in the past moths. Today the Dutch went to the place where they are house near the Schipol airport before they are deported and set the special jail in flames!!! They say there are some drug traffickers but is just for the public not to get alarmed. You know the Europeans. Eleven killed in fire at jail at Amsterdam airport Thu Oct 27, 2005 6:39 AM BST Printer Friendly \| Email Article \| RSS AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A fire killed 11 people and injured 15 at a detention centre at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport housing suspected drugs traffickers and illegal immigrants early on Thursday, Dutch police said. Jan Beekman, a senior military policeman, told a news conference four of the 15 injured were still in hospital, while the others had been discharged after treatment. In Paris, a string of deadly fires this year that killed 48 West African immigrants stunned France by revealing dangerously decrepit buildings, sometimes without running water and with hazardous electrical wiring, in the heart of the City of Light. In Britain, the deaths last year of 23 Chinese workers, who drowned while picking cockles in precarious conditions in Lancashire, shocked a public that had been largely unaware of the use of poorly housed illegal workers by "gang masters" who exploit them for low wages. Sprawling Roma encampments around Milan and shantytowns outside Lisbon also have exposed the vulnerability of Europe's growing legal and illegal immigrant population, as have arson attacks on refugee homes in Belgium and Germany. "There is no excuse to have people live like this in 21st-century Europe," said Joaquim Soares, director of the emergency shelter network of the Abbé Pierre Foundation of Housing for the Underprivileged in France. In the burned-out Parisian stairwells, Dutch squats, Italian camps and Portuguese slums, some of Europe's greatest challenges have converged: the integration of a growing number of immigrants, rising housing prices and high unemployment. The net inflow of legal immigrants into the 25 countries that make up the European Union today has more than doubled over the last decade, rising from 826,000 in 1993 to 2.1 million in 2003, according to the latest Eurostat figures. The desperate ambition of those in poverty-stricken developing countries to come to Europe has been powerfully illustrated in recent weeks when hundreds of Africans tried to climb razor-wire fences separating Morocco from two Spanish enclaves, and more than a dozen were killed in the process. Meanwhile, European housing prices have risen by an average annual rate of 7 percent over the past five years, bolstering speculation, and joblessness hovers around the 9 percent mark in the EU as a whole.
