It is "unthinkable" that the Public Prosecution Service will prosecute people who help undocumented immigrants. This was stated by outgoing Minister of Immigration David van Weel (VVD) in a debate with the House of Representatives. He thereby contradicted concerns that not only rejected asylum seekers, but also other people, would face legal action if illegal residence became a criminal offense.
