African refugee family costs outraged Swiss village $64,000 a month in benefits
Take a look at what this family is getting free of charge. The leftists on this board are probably applauding.
Quote:Residents of the Hagenbuch village in Switzerland are outraged after the announcement that the town’s taxes are to be hiked in order to support one African refugee family.
The mother and her seven children cost the local authority €50,000 a month in benefits.
The small village is reported to be spending close to a third of its annual budget supporting the family since they arrived from Eritrea in East Africa, three years ago.
The locals have to pay for four of the woman’s kids to be housed in an orphanage at a cost of €30,000 a month.
The family are given a living allowance and their entertainment bills are also covered.
The Eritrean woman arrived in Hagenbuch three years ago and possessed a visa which allowed her to stay in Switzerland for five years, with the option to extend her stay beyond that, the Daily Mail reports.
The local authority is now planning a whopping fiver per cent tax hike to support the large refugee family.
“I don't know where to turn. I think we have no other choice but to raise taxes,” Mayor Therese Schlaepfer told daily Swiss newspaper Blick.
She added that locals were outraged by the costs of supporting the family who require a team of social workers to spend six hours a day, six days a week on them alone.
When the woman arrived the municipal government agreed to cover her rent and living expenses.
The woman then asked for further financial aid stating that she was overwhelmed by her family commitments.
Four of her kids was then sent to an orphanage at a costs of €7,500 a month, per child.
On top of this the woman’s cooking, cleaning and entertainment bills, such as trips to the zoo are covered.
The family reportedly ties up the areas social workers and carers for six hours a day at a cost of €115 per hour.

Those numbers don't pass the haha test. 7500 euro's per month in an orphanage? You could stay in a nice hotel for that much.

Obviously the Swiss have great facilities, and a Swiss view.
