Swiss Village Forced to Raise Taxes After Muslim Refugee Family Consumes 1/3 of Budget

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.

The Swiss won’t put up with this for long. They are not like the rest of Europe.

The West is too busy making self-inflicted wounds. Just the cost of self-selection makes socialism unsustainabele: the higher the welfare benefits, the more you attract lazy people instead of the go-getters. As simple as that.

I was in Switzerland a few years ago. Zurich is lovely. Some of the suburbs of Zurich between the city and the airport have the same problem as the suburbs of Paris. Namely, Muslim immigrants.

Islam is the Ebola of religion.
