Refugee crisis could cost Austria ‘billions’

Why do secret documents always seem to contain terrifying things, whenever it’s about immigration?

The Local, ‘Refugee crisis could cost Austria ‘billions’’, 30 Sep 2015:

A secret document from Austria’s finance ministry, which was leaked to the Austrian broadcasting company ORF, forecasts that if Austria takes in an estimated 85,000 asylum seekers in 2015 and a further 130,000 in 2016 it will cost a total of €6.5 billion over the next four years.

This is much higher than earlier official calculations, and is based on a projected 25,000 positive asylum applications per year.

The figure includes the costs of primary care for asylum seekers, integration, social security, and helping recognised asylum seekers access the labour market. The document estimates that if the cost of family reunification is included this would almost double the figure to €12.3 billion.

In comparison, the 2015 budget for the defence ministry amounts to around €1.8 billion, which corresponds to 0.55 percent of gross domestic product (GDP).

In September, almost 200,000 refugees arrived in Austria, and 8,000 of those have applied for asylum. The interior ministry has said it expects a total of 80,000 asylum seekers this year.

The conservative People’s Party (ÖVP) has argued in favour of granting refugees “limited asylum” and restricting family reunification - where family members of a recognised refugee are given permission to join him or her in Austria.

That comes shortly after this happened:

The Local, ‘More refugees to follow constitutional change’, 25 Sep 2015:

Austria’s upper house changed the constitution Friday to force local authorities to accept a quota of migrants equal to 1.5 percent of their population despite opposition from the resurgent far-right.

The move, mirroring EU efforts to oblige member states to accept more migrants, is aimed at relieving Austria’s overcrowded main refugee centre at Traiskirchen, and comes into effect on October 1.

It was put forward by Chancellor Werner Faymann’s Social Democrats and the centre-right People’s Party, which form Austria’s governing coalition, and votes from the Greens gave it the necessary two-thirds majority.

The far-right Freedom Party, which wants to restrict the number of migrants entering and which is currently topping national opinion polls with around 30 percent of the vote, opposed the move.

In recent months Austria has become a major transit country for tens of thousands of migrants entering from Hungary—having travelled up the western Balkans—bound for northern Europe, in particular Germany.

But 8.5-million-strong Austria also expects around 80,000 asylum claims this year, putting it high compared to other European Union countries on a per capita basis, and Vienna has been a major proponent of EU quotas.

It is almost impossible to make this stuff up.

TNO, “Invaders Bring Deadly Fever to Salzburg” 14 April 2014:

Nonwhite invaders living in a “refugee center” in Salzburg have caused an outbreak of a fatal and highly contagious lice-born fever, normally only seen in the Third World and caused by filth and backward living conditions.


The disease, known as relapsing fever, broke out in the former hotel Kobenzl which is now being used as a “refugee center”—and officials are concerned because the residents have been able to freely move around the city.

The attention of the authorities was drawn to the seriousness of the situation when a Somali invader was admitted to the intensive care unit of the local state hospital after collapsing.

The doctors found that the nonwhite was suffering from lice-born relapsing fever—something that is endemic in the part of Africa from which he came.

Relapsing fever is transmitted through the bites of lice or soft-bodied ticks, and infected people develop symptoms between five and 15 days after they are bitten. The symptoms may include a sudden fever, chills, headaches, muscle or joint aches, and nausea.

Louse-borne relapsing fever is currently prevalent in Ethiopia and Sudan. Without treatment, it has a 70 percent fatality rate.

According to an article in Austria’s Krone newspaper, the government’s Health Department ordered a lockdown of the invader center, the disinfection of all rooms, and the treatment of all mattresses and soft furnishings in the building.

All residents had their laundry and clothes washed at a high temperature, and over the next six weeks are being subjected to intensive treatment for body lice. The Austrian personnel treating the nonwhites must all wear disposable protective clothing when coming near their “patients.”

The Krone newspaper added that this was not the first such outbreak: several cases of relapsing fever had been reported during 2015 by the health authorities among the flood of nonwhite invaders—but news of the ongoing outbreaks had been suppressed rather than alert the Europeans.
