An interesting thread on the economics of immigration. The highlights:

  • Asylum seekers cost the state €475,000 per immigrant on average.
  • A single Somali immigrant costs the Finnish state almost €1m during their lifetime
  • An Iraqi migrant costs €844k if they choose to have children, costing €1.27m more than the average Finn
  • The UK government found that only 19.8% of Muslims aged between 16-74 years old are in full-time employment.
  • Another report found that only 54.7% of Africans are in any sort of employment.
