Sometimes in the course of human events it becomes necessary to kick some ass. Vet. USA. Constitution.


New data, never before published in full: Net fiscal impact per household in Norway by country of origin. The numbers are not as good as those from Denmark or the Netherlands. They only include the cost of fiscal transfers, not the cost of healthcare, public schools and so on. So in fact, every group is significantly more fiscally costly than what is show here. But we can still recognize the pattern from Denmark and Netherlands: Immigrants from Europe are fiscally positive, and immigrants from Muslim countries are fiscally negative. But again, the real magnitude of the fiscal cost in Norway is certainly much larger than what this figure says on the X axis. When you consider that Norway is overall running a deficit on their inhabitants, balanced by oil fund income, this means that even Norwegians themselves are fiscally negative. So the benchmark that says +€15.5k yearly is more accurately -€5k yearly. What does that mean for how much lower Iraq, Somalia and Syria are in reality compared to the displayed number? It's hard to know. Their cost in resources is higher as well, so -€20k yearly in addition to the cost listed in the figure is quite certainly a lower bound. Overall it is plausible that Syrian / Somali immigration to Norway is the most economically expensive immigration anywhere in the world, at any time in history.
