Finnish Immigration Concerns MUSLIM SETTLERS

TOUGHER ATTITUDES ON ASYLUM SEEKERS IN FINLAND…….

If it were train loads of grateful families sent north because all the states in between their port of entry into Europe was simply unable to cope with them, then peoples’ attitude would be drastically different. People do not want to be taken for saps.

The almost exclusive number of Iraqi men (many of whom my sources tell me are completely illiterate) flush with cash and rejecting asylum elsewhere according to how much benefits one is able to receive, tells me, and many others, that they are not really who they claim to be.

Tougher asylum attitudes

The biggest daily Helsingin Sanomat leads off with a survey of Finns’ attitudes toward immigration and asylum seekers.

It finds that most Finns want a tougher line on immigration. Nearly 70 percent of respondents to the HS/TNS Gallup poll said that Finland should tighten its policy on accepting asylum applications. A majority also agreed that, at least at first, those granted asylum should have lower social security benefits than native-born Finns. Most also said that people granted asylum should show that they can support their whole family before being allowed to apply for family reunification. Meanwhile 59 percent said they do not see it as a problem if the number of asylum seekers in their neighbourhoods increases.

In other stories, HS reports on game wardens’ fears of increased traffic accidents involving elk, deer and wild boars around the Sipoonkorpi National Park, just east of Helsinki, where hunting was banned in 2013. There have been more sightings of elk in the area, but so far no figures showing an uptick in road mishaps.
