I recently read/watched an article about the Netherlands and some of the changes they have made concerning their immigration laws. What triggered me to take a look was:

It seems one of the biggest bones of contention is that people will be asked/made to possibly leave if they do not learn the language of the Netherlands within two years. Besides anything else, does anyone find that to be a bad thing?
It just seems to me that when you pick a country to go 'live' in, that should be a major priority anyway. If you can't speak the native language, how do you understand the laws etc. etc. Anyway, I didn't see a thread about it, and was curious as to what people thought.
A quick disclaimer, I realise sometimes that people are forced into a position that makes them have to leave their homeland. However, where they choose to go is generally up to them.
