It's an artistic expression against the kicking out of 26 000 asylum-seekers, some of whom have children who speak nothing but Dutch. This persecution of foreigners is a recent and very strange phenomenon (do a search about the Pim Fortuyn phenomenon), given the famous Dutch tolerance. Many city governments even protested against the decision by refusing to collaborate with the national plan (over 3 years).
So can people actually donate passports? Somehow that sounds illegal. I remember hearing about the Pim Fortuyn stuff back when he was assassinated. I thought it was odd the second-in-command of his party was an immigrant from Ghana who said that the Netherlands has done all the immigration it could.
