Belgium launches xenophobic website

According to European activists, the site is the latest example of growing anti-immigrant sentiment across Europe, which is no longer limited to extremist parties.

Vlaams Belang claims illegal immigration is being encouraged through services such as counseling and legal assistance, adding that illegal immigrants abuse social security.

This comes while European activists say illegal immigrants are denied their basic rights and cannot have access to social security.

Meanwhile analysts cite economic crisis as a major reason behind anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe at a time when the average EU unemployment rate is at an all-time high, that is over 10 percent and European countries struggle with huge debt loads.

They also argue that Europe cannot afford to foster this negative attitude towards immigrants because its population is declining and it is in need of immigrants from other nations.
