The massive cost of a single refugee to German taxpayers
Every single refugee costs the taxpayer a massive 12 200 euro per year in Germany, according to authorities.
Published: November 20, 2016, 1:30 pm
Some 700 German politicians, as well as administration and refugee organizations met two weeks ago in the city of Lübeck for the second refugee conference in the country to plot a new policy on migrants for the coming year.
The average expenditure to feed and clothe each person, provide language lessons and schooling and the care of unaccompanied minors, may even be higher as the calculation does not include training courses, the costs to the taxpayer to deport failed would-be migrants or rampant criminality.
Germany will have taken in around 1.3 million refugees by the end of the year in the last 18 months. In a single day, more than 2 200 migrants were rescued in the Mediterranean and 10 bodies were recovered, Italy’s coast guard reported.
The International Organization for Migration says that 159 496 people had reach Italy by sea this year and 4 220 died trying – a sharp increase from 3,777 in the whole of 2015.
The sharp rise has prompted Germany’s Interior Ministry recently, as FreeWestMedia reported to consider tougher Australia-style policies.
But the partial solution for European countries grappling with an influx of people who have fled conflicts in Syrian and Africa, was met with the usual hysteria from the Left with the UN and Amnesty International, displaying their usual drive towards dismantling sovereign states.
Right-wing European politicians have praised Australia’s system as a realistic one, but open border ideologues have attacked the proposition as “inhumane”.
The German Interior Ministry suggested stopping migrants from ever reaching Europe’s Mediterranean coast by picking them up at sea and returning them to Africa, the Welt am Sonntag newspaper reported a fortnight ago.
Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative Christian Democrats are leaking votes to the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and need to be seen as more responsive to voters’ concerns.
But the United Nations’ top human rights envoy slammed the Australian model as “cruel, inhuman and degrading”. The Wall Street Journal quoted François Crepeau, the UN special rapporteur on migrant human rights, who said the “punitive” approach Down Under was “unraveling”.
“Australia has seen the cost of this,” Crepeau raged at the end of his inspection of a refugee centre on the island Nauru, but could only highlight the “political” and “reputational cost”, both of which Crepeau eagerly perpetuated with moral grandstanding.
Successive Australian governments have defended their very effective policies – although costly – as necessary to deter criminal trafficking of vulnerable refugees.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s conservatives want an agreement with the US to take refugees from Costa Rica before the Obama administration leaves office in January, to fall through, but Crepeau expressed hope that “probably before Mr Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration” the repatriation would take place and continue after.
Most of the Australian-held asylum seekers come from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran and Sri Lanka.
Crepeau said Australia’s human rights record had been “damaged” by its very effective migration policies to keep unwanted newcomers out. ”Australia would vehemently protest if its citizens were treated like this by other counties and especially if Australian children were treated like this,” Crepeau whined. He did however not explain why Australians would need to leave a well-run, safe country.

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.
The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy
The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

Most of them are not fleeing anything, they are simply seeking the welfare of north European nations. Source…
