A bill, aiming to make stricter the regulations with regard to foreigners entering into Belgium will be introduced in the Belgian Parliament, it became known here yesterday.
The measure calls for the registration of all foreigners with the police, regardless of the briefness of their stay in the country.
The bill would also prohibit foreigners from taking up residence in certain sections of the country. It would grant local authorities the right to deport an alien from the country should he be without adequate means of livelihood or break the laws of the land, without waiting for orders to this effect from the central authorities.
