Norway Spending More Than Eritrea's GDP On 18,500 Immigrants
According to articles in Dagbladet and VG today, Norway's filthy oil rich government will spend 2 billion USD next year on "integrating" an estimated 18,500 asylum seekers. That is roughly $100,000 per immigrant. Ironically, it is also more than Eritrea's entire GDP, where many of the immigrants come from.
The average GDP per capita in Eritrea is $295, while over $100,000 is spent in one year on the average immigrant arriving in Norway. Could the money be better spent somewhere else?
