Switzerland: Over 80 Percent of Somali Migrants on Welfare

According to newly released data, several migrant groups of different national origins in Switzerland have welfare dependency rates well above 50 per cent, with over 80 per cent of Somalis in the country taking state handouts.

The data was gathered and released by both the Federal Statistical Office and the State Secretariat for Migration and shows that the 4,000 or so Somalis in Switzerland are by far the most prone to being on government benefits with 83.7 per cent relying on state income, 20 Minutes reports.

While Somalis are by far and wide the largest recipients of welfare, several other nationalities also have rates of over 50 per cent, such as Eritreans at 54.7 per cent and Angolans at 54 per cent.

The statistics greatly contrast with the number of Swiss nationals on welfare, at a mere 2.3 per cent of the population — although Japanese nationals were the lowest of all at only 0.6 per cent.

Getting more free stuff than what they got at home which is why they came.

Somalia is the @$$hole of the world. Nothing good comes out of it.

[Pollster1]

Unexpected. Who would have guessed that this would not work out?

Fox 9 television uncovers a far-reaching scandal: last year, more than $100 million in cash left the Twin Cities airport in carry-on luggage, bound for the Middle East and Africa: This story begins at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where mysterious suitcases filled with cash have become a common carry-on. On the morning of March 15, Fox 9 chased a tip about a man who was leaving the country. Sources said he took a carry-on bag through security that was packed with $1 million in cash. Travelers can do that, as long as they fill out the proper government forms. Fox 9 learned that these cloak-and-dagger scenarios now happen almost weekly at MSP. The money is usually headed to the Middle East, Dubai and points beyond. Sources said last year alone, more than $100 million in cash left MSP in carry-on luggage.

Where does the money come from, and where is it going? It was coming from Hawalas, businesses used to courier money to countries that have no official banking system.Some immigrant communities rely on Hawalas to send funds to help impoverished relatives back home.

[Former Seattle police detective Glen] Kerns discovered some of the money was being funneled to a Hawala in the region of Somalia that is controlled by the al Shabaab terrorist group.

here’s another perfect example of fraudulent abuse of tax payer money being funneled off to finance one of our enemies.

[BenLurkin]

So predictable.

Send them back.

It was either Tom Clancy or Vince Flynn I believe that said “smart in the classroom, dumb on the bus,” or close to that.
I wonder if that applies to the Swiss or at least the Swiss decision makers.

They apparently have some great Italian and other architecture.

That’s probably about it!

The ‘Jizya’ or tax on Infidels is a reflection of the Islamic belief that Mozlems are so awesome that Allah commands the rest of us pay their way. One of the many ‘blessings” of importing them in the name of diversity.

How many can read & write?

47% of the residents of Detroit can't read or write, 43% can't in New Orleans.

Instead of doing a slow bern and trying to be nobel, Switzerland should flog the Muzzies with switzlesticks till they scream for alp....and then send every emmen and jungfrau back to Somali...never to see heidi nor hair of them again.

Those Africans sure are a classy bunch.😇

“The Swede Mr. Rhee of Life.”

Oof....very, very old.

I heard it told as, the Rhee son is invited to New York City by NYT and promptly gets lost. After a frantic search, he is found in the Automat cafeteria and the relieved NYT guide exclaims,

“Ah, Swede Mr. Rhee of Life, at last I’ve found you!”

(Geez, who remembers Syngman Rhee anymore? Or that song?)

[Bommer]

Deport the lot of them and the politicians (after liquidating all their assets and possessions as punishment) back to Somalia

[elcid1970]

Oof...so many puns. They made me Ricola in horror.

The Nobel prize is a Swedish award. They gave it to Obama, remember?

;^)

[Oatka]

The Brits have a word for people like this: layabouts.

Probably stronger ones for this kind of attitude (breitbart clip within the article):

[elcid1970]

We’re both mistaken. Alfred Nobel was Swedish, but it’s the Norwegian Nobel Committee that hands out the awards.

Like candy.

[captain_dave]

4,000? The Swiss could deport them.

[elcid1970]

Where are the bloody British police!!!?

[Citizen Soldier]

Countries have to pay for multiculturalism

[MinuteGal]

Nobel was Swedish, the Norwegians give out the prizes, and Theodor Kocher of Switzerland won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1909.

So I must Tell you that we Aare both right!
