Boomsma mainly wants to know whether the criminalization, for which the House of Representatives voted for a Keti Koti blunder from GL/PvdA and PvdD, also means illegality that people who help illegal people are in violation. Boomsma is about “offering help or a bowl of soup”: “That should not be punishable.”
Room votes over asylum laws: what exactly is it?
The NSC group will discuss on Thursday evening whether the party will vote for the asylum measures Act now that the criminalization of illegality is in it. Boomsma’s group is actually against that, but he seems to be looking for a way with the emergency questions to vote for the law. The NSC person wants ‘clarity’ from the cabinet that not every help is made punishable by illegal foreigners.
Reassurance
Boomsma does not want to say what his group will vote if that reassurance comes. The NSC’ers go with each other for the asylum laws for the moods on Thursday evening.
