10 years’ immigration in the Netherlands costs 72 billion euros

The Dutch government [the Balkenende Cabinet] refused last year to investigate the cost of mass immigration at the request of the PVV fraction. The research institute NYFER has now conducted this study, as commissioned by the PVV. The results are shocking. The Party for Freedom is pleased that the taxpayers will finally get what they are entitled to: insight into what happens with their money.

On a net migration of 25,000 non-Western immigrants per year, with an equal number of offspring, our society loses €7.2 billion [$8.8 billion] a year. Ten years of unchanged immigration policy therefore means running up a tab that eventually costs the society 72 billion euros [$8.8 billion]. Compared to natives, non-Western immigrants pay less on net taxes and premiums, are more dependent on government benefits (including social security benefits) and are more often involved in crime with all its associated costs.

PVV faction leader Geert Wilders: “The fact that mass immigration is also disastrous from a financial standpoint confirms the need for the actions the Party for Freedom recommends, such as a halt to immigration from Muslim countries, a reduction of the remaining migration and asylum flows, and the exclusion of new immigrants from social security benefits for a period of ten years.”

Most important conclusions of the NYFER report:

- – - – - – - – -

• Non-Western immigrants make greater use of public goods and contribute less on taxes and social security than the average resident of the Netherlands. The result therefore is a negative net contribution to public finances. When income and expenses over the course of a lifetime are calculated, each non-Western immigrant between 25 and 35 years of age costs the public sector between €40,000 and € 50,000 [$49,000 to $61,000]. At other ages, the cost are higher. This is the approximate cost of an ‘average’ non-Western immigrant with socio-economic characteristics that match those of the current population of non-Western immigrants.
• These costs are incurred because non-Western immigrants more likely than average to rely on disability benefits, unemployment, and social security benefits. They also make a greater use of [health] care, and in addition their overrepresentation in crime is causing extra costs. Equally important are greater expenditures on housing benefits. In contrast, they make less use of child care and of higher vocational and university education. Immigrants also often have an incomplete state pension [which builds up with 2% per year from the age of 15 until 65; immigrants who arrive when older than that will not be able to build up the full 100% — translator].
• The costs are highly dependent on (1) the age of entry, (2) socio-economic characteristics that determine the chances of employment, (3) the progress of integration, particularly as it effects participation in employment, and (4) the duration of stay, respective to the extent to which return migration takes place to the country of origin.
• For a complete assessment of the budgetary impact of immigration one should not only consider the net contribution of first-generation non-Western immigrants (the immigrants themselves), but also those of the second generation (the offspring of the first generation). The second generation of non-Western immigrants makes greater use of collective provisions and contributes less in taxes and social security premiums than the average citizen. Measured by their participation in the labor market (net participation rate), the second generation on average makes up 38% of the backlog generated by their parents in comparison with the average resident of the Netherlands.
• With an annual immigration of a net 25,000 non-Western immigrants and an annual increase of 25,000 descendants, the costs for the public sector are € 7.2 billion [circa $8.8 billion] per year (in 2008 euros). In this connection, it is again assumed that the use of public services and the contributions to taxes and premiums match those of the current population of non-Western immigrants, and that the second generation makes up 38% of the socio-economic backlog.
• When more immigrants to return to their country of origin (58% instead of the present 46%), for example because a higher proportion of immigrants consists of students or others who stay temporarily in the Netherlands, the public costs are reduced by € 0.5 billion [$0.6 billion]. When the chance of return migration is halved (to 23%), for example because there is more often a matter of family formation or family reunification, the cost for the public sector increases by €0.9 billion [$1 billion].
• An improved integration of second-generation non-Western immigrants reduces the costs for the public sector. When the second generation makes up the socio-economic backlog by 50% instead of the present 38%, that saves the Treasury structurally €0.6 billion [$0.97 billion] per year.
• The Netherlands has too long upheld the idea that immigrants would stay only temporarily in the Netherlands, and the impact of continued migration has been underestimated. There also is no selective admission policy, such as in many other countries. Additionally, the relatively extensive social services have contributed to unskilled or low skilled migrants coming to the Netherlands. Partly also because of this, the Netherlands — together with several other European countries — belongs to the group of countries where the employment participation of immigrants lags behind at a relatively high rate compared to that of the indigenous population. Consequently, the costs to the public sector are higher than in many other countries.

“Ole Seidling fra Kontrolgruppen i Høje Taastrup kunne godt vælge at se lyst på tingene: Det er nok kun fordi, indvandrere og efterkommere er i god tro, fordi de endnu ikke kender de danske regler så godt; når de lærer dem, vil alt blive fint, og de vil ikke længere overtræde reglerne.

Men lederen af kontrolgruppen er mere tilbøjelig til at fokusere på den mørke side og konkluderer: »Flere indvandrere og efterkommere er ikke i god tro, men bedrager efter min opfattelse bevidst de kommunale kasser for mange penge hvert år,« siger han.

Erfaring fra mange års arbejde med socialt bedrageri har givet lederen af kontrolgruppen i Høje Taastrup en indgroet skepsis over for borgernes moral, når det gælder deres mulighed for at få snabelen ned i kommunekassen…

Derfor lægger Ole Seidling heller ikke fingrene imellem, når han skal beskrive, hvad han mener om, at 25 af alle 33 afslørede sager om socialt bedrageri i Høje Taastrup sidste år blev begået af folk med anden etnisk baggrund end dansk…

»Vi kan se, at nogle af disse mennesker kommer lige ud af flygtningelejren og efter kort tid bliver skilt proforma…,« siger Ole Seidling.

[...]

Da kontrolgruppen i Aabenraa Kommune tidligere på måneden var på natlig kontrol i forbindelse med 25 sager, involverede de 13 af sagerne borgere med anden etnisk baggrund end dansk.

Det får lederne af kontrolgruppen i Aabenraa, Margit Kristensen, til at sige: »Man får nærmest det indtryk, at indvandrere og efterkommere har en slags erfagrupper, hvor man sidder og fortæller hinanden, hvordan man kan snyde de offentlige kasser…«.”

Ægteskabskultur og etnisk herkomst har stor indflydelse på spædbørns overlevelsesdygtighed og sundhed.

Resultaterne kommer ikke bag på professor Karen Brøndum-Nielsen, der er direktør ved Kennedy Centret – Det nationale forsknings- og rådgivningscenter for genetik, synshandicap og mental retardering.

- Vi ved fra lignende undersøgelser i udlandet, at der er en højere forekomst af misdannelser, handicap og dødfødsler blandt indgifte. Og en undersøgelse af mentalt retarderede børn i Københavns Amt viser ligeledes, at der er en overvægt af indvandrerbørn i denne gruppe, så det er helt klart, at der er en sammenhæng, siger Karen Brøndum-Nielsen.

…

I Pakistan anslås det, at godt 70 procent af alle ægteskaber er indgifte, i Tyrkiet ligger det på mellem 25 og 30 procent. Til sammenligning er kun 40 procent af de pakistanske ægtepar i Danmark beslægtede. For tyrkiske par er tallet nede på 15 procent.

“Når fætter og kusine får børn sammen, er der dobbelt så stor risiko for at få et handicappet barn – det koster kommunekasserne dyrt.

Handicappede indvandrerbørn koster danske kommuner millioner.

I Københavns Amt alene er antallet af handicappede børn i alt steget med mere 100 procent på 10 år.

…

Allerede i 2000 blev det gjort op, at mens 13 pct. af alle børn var indvandrere i Københavns Kommune, så udgjorde de 24 pct. af de svært handicappede børn.

Længe har vi håbet på, at hvis bare herboende muslimer uddanner sig, vil de lægge deres fanatiske religiøsitet fra sig. Ny forskning viser, at dette ikke er tilfældet:

“Der findes unge muslimer i Danmark, som siger, at de med vold vil forsvare islam mod de vantro, og at sharialovgivning skal erstatte demokratiet, hvis muslimer er i flertal i samfundet.

Ifølge en interviewundersøgelse fra Center for Forskning i Islamisme og Radikaliseringsprocesser på Aarhus Universitet er de samme unge mennesker samtidig formelt set velintegrerede i samfundet:

De har en uddannelse, de har et job, de taler dansk derhjemme, de har haft danske kærester, og de ser TV-Avisen og “Paradise Hotel”, skriver Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten fredag.

…

Konklusionen på undersøgelsen er, at mere integration ikke begrænser radikale holdninger.”

Chef for Danmarks Statistik, Jan Plovsing, udgav 19/12 2008 kronikken “Store forskelle i integration”. Her kan man bl.a. læse:

“Der er lidt over 340.000 indvandrere og efterkommere fra de ikke-vestlige lande i Danmark, hvilket udgør 6,2 pct. af befolkningen. Indvandrere og efterkommere fra de vestlige lande udgør 2,9 pct. af befolkningen.

Det er helt afgørende for indvandrernes og efterkommernes integration i samfundet, at de er i beskæftigelse. Derved bidrager de også til at finansiere velfærdsstaten og andre offentlige udgifter.

Personer med dansk oprindelse i alderen 16-64 år har en beskæftigelsesfrekvens på 79, dvs. at 79 pct. af aldersgruppen er i beskæftigelse.

Indvandrere fra en række lande har derimod meget lave beskæftigelsesfrekvenser. De laveste niveauer findes blandt indvandrere fra Somalia, Libanon og Irak, hvor kun 35-37 pct. er i beskæftigelse. Indvandrere fra Libanon er helt overvejende statsløse palæstinensere.

I modsætning hertil har indvandrere fra lande i Syd- og Østasien ganske høje beskæftigelsesfrekvenser. Mellem 62 og 67 pct. af indvandrerne fra Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam og Kina er i beskæftigelse.

Kvindelige indvandrere fra en række ikke-vestlige lande er sjældent i beskæftigelse. Kun 21-24 pct. af kvinderne fra Somalia, Libanon og Irak er i beskæftigelse. Fra Afghanistan, Pakistan og Marokko er det 33-39 pct. Her er der virkelig en stor udfordring for integrationen.

I modsætning hertil har kvindelige indvandrere fra Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam og Kina beskæftigelsesfrekvenser på 59-67 pct. Det er samme niveau som kvindelige indvandrere fra Sverige, Norge, Polen og Tyskland. Kvinder med dansk oprindelse har en lidt højere beskæftigelsesfrekvens på 76.

Jo længere tid indvandrerne har opholdt sig her i landet, jo højere beskæftigelsesfrekvens. Det gælder for indvandrere fra de fleste lande og viser, at integration normalt tager tid.

Desværre ses denne udvikling kun svagt, når det gælder indvandrere fra Somalia, Libanon og Irak. Selv med en opholdstid i Danmark på 10-15 år er kun 29-37 pct. i beskæftigelse.

Med den samme opholdstid er det 67-79 pct. af indvandrere fra Filippinerne, Kina, Thailand og Sri Lanka, som har arbejde. Det er i øvrigt samme niveau som indvandrere fra vestlige lande.

En stor del af dine og mine fremtidsudsigter blev afgjort i ungdommen. Vi har derfor også set på, om de unge er i beskæftigelse eller under uddannelse. Her er det stærkt bekymrende, at en stor del af de 20-29-årige indvandrere hverken er i beskæftigelse eller under uddannelse.

For unge kvinder med dansk oprindelse drejer det sig om 11 pct. Ser vi på unge kvindelige indvandrere fra Somalia, Irak, Libanon og Pakistan, er det 57-60 pct. Over halvdelen af de unge kvindelige indvandrere fra disse lande er altså hverken under uddannelse eller i beskæftigelse.”

“A senior official in Afghanistan’s Ministry for Women’s Affairs told a recent UN workshop that about half of Afghanistan’s 476 women prisoners were detained for “moral crimes”.

That includes everything from running away from home, refusing to marry, marrying without their family’s wishes, and “attempted adultery”.

“In many cases women run away because they can’t bear the domestic violence and then they are picked up and taken into custody for a long time,” explains Nader Nadery, a commissioner at Afghanistan’s Independent Human Rights Commission.”

“A study that shows boys growing up in religious Muslim families are more likely to be violent seems set to reignite the debate over religion and integration, a media report said on Sunday. The study, which involved intensive questioning of 45,000 teenagers from 61 towns and regions across the country, was conducted by Christian Pfeiffer of the criminal research institute of Lower Saxony. …

Pfeiffer’s work took into account the level of education and standard of living in the families of the children – aged between 14 and 16 – who were questioned. He also asked them how religious they considered themselves, and how integrated they felt in Germany.

Pfeiffer said that even when other social factors were taken into account, there remained a significant correlation between religiosity and readiness to use violence. There were some positive correlations too he said, noting that young religious Muslims were much less likely than their non-Muslim counterparts to drink alcohol – or to steal from shops.

…

The results showed that Muslim boys from immigrant families were more than twice as likely to agree with macho statements than boys from Christian immigrant families. The rate was highest among those considered as very religious, Pfeiffer said. They were also more likely to be using violent computer games and have criminal friends.

Added to that, the more religious Muslim boys felt the least integrated intoGerman society, with only 14.5 percent of the very religious Turkish boys (the largest group of Muslims in the study) saying they felt German, although 88.5 percent had been born here.”
