Is this really enriching anybody besides the Muslim settlers?
A village of just 1,000 residents in Switzerland has been forced to raise taxes because an African refugee and her seven children cost the local authority $65,000 in benefits every month.
Hagenbuch, in the Swiss canton of Zurich, is understood to be spending close to a third of its total annual budget on the family after they arrived from Eritrea in East Africa three years ago.
The Eritrean woman and her family arrived in Hagenbuch three years ago in possession of a visa allowing her to stay in Switzerland for five years, with the option to extend her stay beyond that date.
Solely to cover the cost of the family’s massive benefits bill, the local authority is now planning to raise taxes in the village by a shocking five per cent .
When the woman and her family arrived in Hagenbuch three years ago, the municipal government immediately agreed to cover the full cost of their rent and $2780 a month in living expenses.
A short time later the woman sought further financial help, claiming she had become overwhelmed by family commitments and was now struggling to look after all seven of her children.
This resulted in four of them being sent to an orphanage – with the local authority paying out $9,800 for each child every month – a total cost of$40,000.
On top of this there are also the costs of helping the woman pay her cooking and cleaning bills – plus rolling entertainment expenses, such as paying the entry fee for all eight family members at the zoo.
As well as straight handouts, the family also reportedly cost the local authority thousands more every month by tying up social workers and carers for six hours a day, six days a week.
And that’s just one family of Eritrean settlers. There are plenty of others.
The vast majority of Eritreans in Switzerland live on welfare… 87 percent of working-recognized refugees with residence permits do not work. Only one in nine Eritreans works for a living. From those granted provisional refugee status, the employment rate is similarly low: only 24 percent of Eritreans have a job.
Keep multiplying and imagine what kind of tax burden this will really mean.
Your sister was misinformed:
Can I File an Income Tax Return if I Don't Have Any Income?
P.S. There is little need for cattle dung shovelers in Switzerland and they are not qualified to do anything more technical.
The house will have to be demolished when they finally leave (if they ever do).
There is an obvious solution to this problem. If I invited a tapeworm into my body and then discovered just how much nutrition that parasite was sucking away from the rest of my body, I would eventually figure out the right answer.
Sounds like Minneapolis.
Only the Swiss are not “happy to pay more”.
Wait until the male members began to go all “Rotherham” on the little Swiss girls of the village.
Hopefully those 8 parasites don’t suffer a tragic skiing accident.
Why do I not really care about this?
Hard-hearted woman I guess.

This is the Nirvana leftists seek.
“Swiss” and “charity” are not often found together in sentences. While they are fine short-term hosts, I imagine they will quickly tire of this “parasitic” experience, and request that these foreigners depart forthwith.
And unlike the US government, they mean it. There is no hidden place in Switzerland someone like that can hide. And I do not mean because of their skin color, but because of their status.
Indentured servants in their own country.
Wow, a cook, a maid and free entertainment tickets! Where do I sign up?
Africa for Africans!
Another bit of schadenfreude over white man’s guilt.
I didn’t believe the Swiss were such idiots...or insane.
Hey, didn’t Hillary say it takes a village?
Okay Nelson crank it up, “Ha ha!”
Something about the world’s tiniest violin???
And a bleeding heart?
We have a crapload of Somali “refugees” in King County, Washington, and they breed like rabbits. I can only imagine what the local tax bill is for this.
Of course, no one talks about this.
