We have to tackle the problem together, to keep accomplishments like Schengen, because the argument works the other way round, too:

The Netherlands have much stricter asylum laws than Germany has, with or without border controls. Maybe you could take some of the 1.5 million refugees, that will arrive in Germany this year. You took only 25k last year. Stuff like the border controls are really just measurements to prevent our versions of Geert Wilders from gaining traction.

NL doesn't have stricter asylum laws than Germany, despite the big mouth of the guy you just mentioned. I'm also skeptical about the 1.5 million figure. People with a political agenda are putting intimidating figures like that in the media.

Fewer come here because of the location - this would only be your first entry point in the EU if you arrive at the airport - and the fact that it's not a famous, charismatic country. They want to go where they have friends and family first, failing that, they want to go to an English speaking country, failing that, next choice are Germany and France. Any other place they end up is mostly settling for what happens to work out.

Any way, I used to get a similar (less extreme) treatment way back in the 90's, before refugees were an issue.

Edit: and I obviously don't look like a refugee. The events destribed by the OP were obviously a drug bust.
