From Will at THE OTHER NEWS:
JOBLESS foreigners are being forcibly ejected from Belgium.(Ex).JOBLESS foreigners are being forcibly ejected from Belgium following a public outcry at a massive surge in immigration, it was revealed yesterday. Belgian authorities have introduced a law allowing the withdrawal of residency rights from any newcomers remaining unemployed for six months after arriving in the country. The crackdown is being seen as a huge turnaround for the country that is home to many EU institutions and was previously seen as one of the most welcoming nations in Europe for migrants.
Euro MP Derek Clark, the Ukip employment spokesman, said: “Amazingly the Belgians seem to have a better idea as to their own interests than we do. If they can do it to protect their taxpayers and welfare system, then why on earth can’t we?”Many of the migrants being turfed out of Belgium are thought to have moved there from Spain in response to the worsening Spanish recession. Some are understood to have originally migrated to Spain from Latin America.

If the deported are EU citizens then this may be a violation of EU regulations unless the immigrants are a burden on the state (even if they rely on Belgian healthcare system).
If the people are a burden then I'd say the Belgians aren't being tough enough since there is only a 3 month period under the EU regulations after which the EU citizen living in an EU state other than their home country needs to provide proof that they can either sustain themselves through personal funds or through a job.
This however only needs to happen IF they are a burden on the state.
PS: Wonder when they're going to deport all the Arabs who basically live off of welfare.
