New study on the fiscal impact of immigration on the Netherlands.

- Study, family & asylum migration are a net negative regardless of the age of arrival.

- If the parents make a net negative contribution, the second generation won’t be much different

1/ Some facts about immigration and crime in Sweden.

A study on rape convictions in Sweden found that between 2000 and 2020, 63.1% of convicted offenders had an immigrant background (1st and 2nd generation). Image
2/ Both 1st and 2nd generation immigrants show higher crime rates than those with a Swedish background. This holds across all major crime categories, even after adjusting for age and sex Image
3/ Between 2015 and 2018, people with foreign background (1st and 2nd generation immigrants) accounted for half of all crime suspects. Image

I've compiled all purchase orders over €20,000 listed by the Irish government from 2021 to Q1 2025 covering €4.6bn+ in spending, mostly on accommodation for asylum seekers. Link below. Image
A who's who of the top recipients of payments made by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth for services associated with the accommodation and support of asylum seekers in Ireland. Image
Don't shoot the messenger. The terrible descriptions here were pulled directly from the raw data provided by the government. As you can see, they have multiple descriptions for what are essentially the same thing. Image

1/ A brief thread looking at government funding of various NGO sectors. Given the sheer number of NGOs I will only be looking at those who receive the most in government funding in each sector. Only have data for 2020 as Benefacts was shut down. Image
2/ Health. Most of the government funding here is going to hospitals or the governing structures that look over a hospital/s. Image
3/ Social services. As far as I can tell, a lot of the funding here is going to charities that assist those with intellectual disabilities. Image

1/ Asylum in France is out of control. A new report by the Observatoire de l'immigration et de la démographie (OID) shows how the system has become a loophole for mass immigration, with little oversight or limits.
2/ Nearly 600,000 people in France are direct beneficiaries of asylum. That’s over 10% of the foreign population. This surge stems from ever-expanding definitions of who qualifies for asylum.
3/ The report highlights how the system has moved far beyond its original purpose. Asylum was once meant for small numbers of truly persecuted individuals. Today, it’s a catch-all for broader categories, such as gender-based violence or sexual orientation.

As 2024 draws to a close, I thought it would be interesting to review key immigration statistics and to compare some of them to others in Europe. A thread🧵 Image
Image
Image
Image
Let’s start with the aspect of our immigration system that’s in complete disarray: asylum. By December 15th, 17,535 asylum applications had been lodged in Ireland—the highest number in the state’s history. And the year isn’t even over yet. Image
The overwhelming volume of applications has led to severe delays in processing, causing a backlog that continues to grow. As of December 15, 32,619 individuals are being accommodated by the state. You can things went out of control following the invasion of Ukraine. Image

A thread exploring social housing applicants by broad nationality across county and city council areas using data from the Housing Agency.

First up: Raw numbers showing social housing applicants by nationality for each council area. Image
Now, same data but represented as a % of the total applications for the respective council areas. Image
Some maps showing the % for each non-Irish group. Image
