Well now, but that is very interesting! Compare this statement of yours
with the one below I found in the archives of SCN:

Gastarbeiders nodig !

Dit is een omineuze titel die op de 1ste pagina van de zondageditie van
"De krant van wakker Nederland" alias "De Telegraaf" prijkt.
Het viel me op midden in het anders alom aanwezige gewauwel, dat men
habitueel in deze krant te lezen krijgt.
Volgens de journaliste, moet NL gastarbeiders (liefst) uit Oost-Europa
op een jaarbasis van 35.000 stuks per jaar aanwerven. Dit om het steeds
groeiende tekort aan beroepskrachten ( = de mensen die de machines
bedienen, onderhouden en repareren, en andere vakmensen) aan te vullen.

What this says is that the Netherlands needs to recruit 35.000 people
from abroad /year on order to meet yhe growing shortfall for skilled
laborors. Which begs the question: Why not Afrikaaners? Seems to me that
Afrikaaners would more readily integrate into Dutch society than people
from Islamic countries, would they?
