19.5/20. Seulement.

C'est mon score au test "êtes vous un libéral qui s'ignore ?" proposé par Alternative Libérale.

Il n'y a en effet qu'une question à laquelle j'ai mis "plutôt d'accord" et non tout à fait d'accord. C'est la question sur l'immigration, dont voici l'énoncé exact : "Les étrangers qui ont un contrat de travail en France devraient pouvoir y résider légalement".

Je mettrais en effet une condition supplémentaire pour l'accueil des étrangers. Il me semble qu'on doive aussi attendre d'eux qu'ils acceptent les valeurs de la démocratie libérale. Dit autrement : pour moi, les mysogines, les homophobes, ceux qui ne supportent pas la liberté de religion, d'expression, etc, ne sont pas les bienvenus en France.

A ce titre, les Pays-Bas ont mis en place une politique d'immigration intéressante. Voici un article d'Associated Press de 2006 qui en fait référence.

Film exposes immigrants to Dutch liberalism

If you can't tolerate gay lifestyle, public nudity, you can't come

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - The camera focuses on two gay men kissing in a park. Later, a topless woman emerges from the sea and walks onto a crowded beach. For would-be immigrants to the Netherlands, this film is a test of their readiness to participate in the liberal Dutch culture.

If they can’t stomach it, no need to apply.

Despite whether they find the film offensive, applicants must buy a copy and watch it if they hope to pass the Netherlands’ new entrance examination.

The test — the first of its kind in the world — became compulsory Wednesday, and was made available at 138 Dutch embassies.

Taking the exam costs $420. The price for a preparation package that includes the film, a CD ROM and a picture album of famous Dutch people is $75.

“As of today, immigrants wishing to settle in the Netherlands for, in particular, the purposes of marrying or forming a relationship will be required to take the civic integration examination abroad,” the Immigration Ministry said in a statement.

Crackdown on immigration
The test is part of a broader crackdown on immigration that has been gathering momentum in the Netherlands since 2001.

Anti-immigration sentiment peaked with filmmaker Theo van Gogh’s murder by a Dutch national of Moroccan descent in November 2004.

Both praise and scorn have been poured on Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk, the architect of the new test and other policies that have reduced immigration by at least a third.

“If you pass, you’re more than welcome,” Verdonk said. “It is in the interest of Dutch society and those concerned.”

Not everyone is happy with the new test.

“Today is a black day for the people intending to bring their partners to Holland,” said Buitenlandse Partner, a lobbying group for mixed Dutch/immigrant couples.

Dutch theologian Karel Steenbrink criticized the 105-minute movie, saying it would be offensive to some Muslims.

“It is not a prudent way of welcoming people to the Netherlands,” said Steenbrink, a professor at the University of Utrecht. “Minister Verdonk has radical ideas.”

But Mohammed Sini, the chairman of Islam and Citizenship, a national Muslim organization, defended the film, saying that homosexuality is “a reality.”

Sini urged all immigrants “to embrace modernity.”
