Triple face palm
Kaj Wahlman of Helsinki police is not looking forward to that, as the actual deportations have to be carried out by police officers. He suggests that, if Finland rejects around half of the 20,000 asylum claims made this year, the state offers people financial incentives to return home. That way fewer resources will be needed to deal with the process.
Now wrap your mind around that for a moment. If rejected for asylum, they then will be offered taxpayer money to return home. What in the world are they being offered any taxpayer money whatsoever? Many of these people are flush with cash, confiscate their money, from those who have it, and use that for air fee in flying their lying butts out of the country. What is wrong with these public officials?
Asylum lessons and deportations
Asylum seekers still lead the news in Iltalehti. The paper’s first four inside news pages are dominated by the topic, with the first two covering the integration support currently winging its way to reception centres nationwide. The teaching material has been created by the Immigration Service and Finnish NGOs, and explains some of the mysteries about Finnish society.
Among other things, the newcomers will learn that Finns don’t talk much, like their personal space, try to uphold principles of gender equality, and abide by the laws. Food also gets a mention, with Karelian pies, rye bread, potatoes and Karelian hot pot all described as Finnish favourites.
Sex is perhaps the biggest controversy. Asylum seekers will be informed that gay relationships are perfectly acceptable in Finland, and that sex education is an important part of the Finnish schooling system.
Deportations on agenda
The next asylum story is less banal. It focuses on what IL describes as a ‘wave of deportations’ on the way, when the asylum seekers who arrived this year get their decisions–and those refused residency will have to leave.
