Het lijkt op een persconferentie van een partij in doodsnood
Wie houdt Wilders voor de gek? Hij weet dat zijn asielvoorstellen onhaalbaar zijn.

WTAF!? Surely a fake, but If it were true, all I can say is they're welcome to her.
Ironically, she'd be barred from entry because her criminal record would void her ESTA.
