Norway Offers Free Flights and Cash for Refugees to Leave Country
Christian Post ^ | 12/09/2015 | Leonardo Blair

Norway's conservative government is now offering refugees seeking asylum there a free flight home plus more than $9,000 in cash if they choose to go back to their home country.

And the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration told government broadcaster NRK that more than 900 asylum seekers facing long family reunification waiting times, barriers to taking work and starting education programs, have already opted to take the offer and run.

"They thought that when they came to Norway they would get protection rather quickly. And that they would have the opportunity to work or take an education — and maybe even to get their family to Norway," said Katinka Hartmann, head of the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration's (Utlendingsdirektoratet - UDI) return unit.

The UDI says a family with two children can receive the equivalent of $9,300 or 8,600 euros as well as having their airline tickets bought by the state to support their decision to leave.

The number of applications for asylum is on the rise, according to the Norwegian division of the International Organization for Migration, which processes the requests.

In late November the Norwegian government announced that they had introduced temporary border controls to keep refugees from entering the country.

"This is a measure to gain better control of the influx of refugees," Norway's Minister of Justice and Public Security, Anders Anundsen, said.

"We are imposing temporary border controls for the ferry routes between Norway and the European continent. Territorial control in frontier areas will also be further tightened. The purpose is to better be able to prevent the entry of people who do not have the required travel documents to enter Norway," he added.

The controls appear to have abated the influx of refugees. As on Monday, the UDI announced that they had fewer asylum applications last week. Whether or not the effect of the newly introduced border measures will last will be seen as time goes by, according to UDI Director Frode Forfang.

The government noted that in October and November they had 1,000 asylum seekers every week coming across the border from Russia.

UDI's Hartmann said as time goes by it might also become difficult for the country to maintain the level of cash incentives they have introduced to help families leave Norway.

"It could be appropriate to cut funding for some groups and it could also be appropriate to temporarily offer more in support to other groups," Hartmann said.

They’ll probably take the cash and then try to sneak back in.

Do they take fingerprints or DNA or something to make sure you can’t make this into a profession? Does the law even mention a limit of one shot?

Good idea. We need to offer occupy dummycrats and BLM commies a free lunch, money, pair of Nikes 22” rims, an iphone, some BEAT headphones, etc and a one way ticket to Liberia, where $10,000 and they’ll be kings. Caveat: You can never come back to America.

Norway Gets It!!!

 

In place where 90% of all rapes are committed by muzzies...  

 

The new Norwegian Prime Minister, Erna Solberg, began a program that deports Muslims who have ties to radical groups.

And something stunning occurred: the country’s violent crimes are down more than 31% in less than a year since Muslim deportations began!

The City of Houston did this with the Katrina refugees after about three weeks. My sister, who lives there, said it was the best money they ever spent. A hometown airline (Continental) got a lot of business. The Astrodome got nearly cleared.

There it is— my solution to illegal immigration.

Put up the wall- lock it tight.

Then offer them something to leave— “40 acres and a burro” —

If I know the character for some of these refugees, they will hold out until the leaving fee is increased. “I’m not moving for less than 200.000. Euros!”

We have some serious problems here in the states with the blacks converting not just to Islam but supporting ISIS and going after our Military....

..Akron Ohio......Hospital worker 25-year-old Terrence J. McNeil of Akron ....Arrested, charged with three counts each of solicitation of a crime of violence and threatening military personnel by uploading a "Military Hit List" of 100 names with photo's and addresses of our Military Personnel... Sept. 24 ....to a Tumbler account ......

McNeil solicited the murder of members of our military explicitly calling for the killing of American service members in their homes and communities.'.....Portions of his posting.........."Now we have made it easy for you by giving you addresses, all you need to do is take the final step, so what are you waiting for? ....'Brothers in America' ....to 'kill them in their own lands, behead them in their own homes, stab them to death as they walk their streets thinking that they are safe.'

.....the information came from the Islamic State overseas, McNeil reposted it. .......Each solicitation count carries a sentence of 20 years in prison, and each threat count carries a maximum five-year sentence. (source Dailymail.co.uk)

....”What a treasonous freak. Hang him on the town square...and let him hang there as buzzard bait”....

I agree but remember society will tell us his mommy didn't hug him enough you see.....and his big toenail hurt too much to walk a straight path....

This generation takes no responsibility for what they choose to do...yet they scream of their rights for freedom without personal responsibility.
