Finland suddenly a top choice for Iraqi asylum-seekers - Polidicks

[url]http://news.yahoo.com/finland-suddenly-top-choice-iraqi-migrants-103912617.html[/url] [QUOTE]Finnish officials say the sudden increase seems to be partly driven by online rumors about quick handling of asylum applications, generous benefits and an abundance of jobs. People making their way through Europe often share information and tips about their journeys on Facebook and other social media platforms. In reality, Finland's reception for asylum-seekers differs little from other EU countries, and its economy has entered its fourth year of recession. "In Sweden, maybe when your country is OK they will take you back to your country and you will lose your money, your everything," said 23-year-old Ghanem, who declined to give his full name because he was worried about being identified by European authorities. "But Finland is very good. I will love it. In Iraq, all people talk about Finland." Historically, Finland has had lower rates of immigration than other Nordic countries. Only 6 percent of the population is foreign-born, compared to 16 percent in Sweden. Saif Hussein, a 27-year-old boxer from Baghdad who arrived in Helsinki two months ago, said the relatively low number of immigrants is part of the reason he chose to come. "Finland is beautiful and nice and small," he said. He didn't want to stay in Germany or Sweden because "there are too many people there and too many immigrants. There is more room here."[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Combine 177;48804619]Immigrants sound racist as fuck these days.[/QUOTE] maybe because if there are a lot of immigrants you wont get shit and some other people might get jobs and housing instead of you. doesn't help that there are a lot of people just immigrating for money and better housing.

and some immigrant stabbed another one around here on Monday and it's been mere days since they came here.

and when they arrive, they can join the hunger strike that's going on at the camps

Gov is now checking the situation about do we need to keep iraq/somali people. Took them a while though, I cannot believe how we have "refugees" protesting that the food they get for free is too bad. It's the same fucking food all of us eat at army/school/whatever. They say they want more money so they can buy and make their own food, which raises some questions in my mind since we're already giving them shitton of money a month anyway

Baklava and Schawarma are delicious.

[QUOTE=Combine 177;48804619]Immigrants sound racist as fuck these days.[/QUOTE] That's not really racist at all though?

[QUOTE]Finnish officials say the sudden increase seems to be partly driven by online rumors about quick handling of asylum applications, generous benefits and an abundance of jobs.[/QUOTE] None of those are actually true, that's probably why some are already leaving after they noticed its cold in north. If the winter is going to be really cold i think about a third will leave to south. Leaving the real refugees that actually want peace and opportunity instead of free handouts.

I read the yesterdays newspaper and they are complaining that they get school food in here. like wtf do you want food or not

I love how an ordinary finnish person can go their whole youth from kindergarten to the military service and eat the same mass produced food and be completely satisfied with it. But oh no, when someone comes here to "seek asylum", they are allowed to complain about the food. Finnish people are generally branded as racist and xenophobic by, let us say, swedish people. So apparently wanting to take care of your own people and your own economy, instead of bearing the weight of, what is slowly coming forward, well-fare leeches we are apparently "stuck in the middle ages and literally Russian". [quote]rumors about quick handling of asylum applications, generous benefits and an abundance of jobs.[/quote] While the first two of these are true to a certain degree, the last "rumor" is simply laughable. Admittedly, there are more jobs now that there were, say, 2 years ago. But "abundance"?, they're in for a nasty surprise. Also, what I've heard, us natives have to wait longer to claim unemployment support, whilst asylum seekers get jumped into the front of the line seems a bit wrong don't it? [editline]2nd October 2015[/editline] As cutthecrap stated, hopefully the bleak and cold northern winter will drive out the freebies and leave those who actually want stability and try to contribute, which in my opinion are the best refugees.

A majority of the taxes goes to handling the immigrants rather than say, education or care for the old, which has been a major complaint for some time now.

I just happen to study in sweden atm.

I've read somewhere that one days food for one immigrant here costs about 12,50€. I hope this was made up by some xenophobic racists because that is ludicrous. As an example, I think the meal we eat in school averages at around ~1€ per person? And my weekly food is about 20-30€. And I don't use the cheapest stuff.

[QUOTE=LittleBabyman;48804675]and some immigrant stabbed another one around here on Monday and it's been mere days since they came here.[/QUOTE] That tends to happen when you have see a large influx of diverse cultures in to foreign areas. They have to struggle to adapt to their new homes, and they are cramped in to close proximity with people they themselves may not understand have nothing in common with. Leads to conflict.

They are actually turning back to Sweden, due to the "bad food and housing" Finland is providing.

I love how Europe gives America so much shit about immigration, when they all are behaving about the same way, if not worse, than the US.

idk man i haven't seen any myself but then again i do live in the finsk equivalent of the south (north) winter is coming tho

[QUOTE=The fox;48809907]They are actually turning back to Sweden, due to the "bad food and housing" Finland is providing.[/QUOTE] "Bad food" aka perfectly normal grub that everyone in schools/universities eat in Finland. Easy to spot the fake asylym seekers and leeches from the real ones in need.
