The welfare queens of New York and Chicago have nothing on this Turkish lady. She’s been contentedly living in Switzerland for the past 40 years, receiving generous social benefits and for the last 17 years, not working a single day. Recently, at long last, she was ordered to leave the country. More on her story can be found here.
A Turkish national who had been living in Switzerland for over 40 years has been expelled from the country and ordered to return home after the Swiss Federal Court ruled she had failed to integrate and lived off social welfare benefits for nearly two decades.
The woman had moved to Switzerland in 1983 at the age of 19 with her then-husband and started a family in the country. She had been subject to a settlement permit that was to be applied for and extended every five years, according to Solothurner Zeitung.
After separating from her husband in 2006, she lived on taxpayer-funded benefits for nearly 17 years from March 2006 until August 2022, receiving a total handout of over €373,000 in social welfare during that time.
How much, one wonders, did her former husband receive in social benefits as well — or was he gainfully employed during the last 40 years? And what about this lady’s children — did they also receive social benefits once they reached the age of majority? What was the total cost to Swiss taxpayers of paying for the members of this Muslim family that had lived in the country for 40 years? What conceivable contribution did any of them make to Swiss society, to its economic wellbeing, or to its cultural cohesion, in all that time?
After initially caring for her children, the woman never sought employment after they grew up, instead opting to continue living off the state.
When it came to applying for the latest extension to her settlement permit in July 2020, the Migration Office of the Canton of Solothurn refused her application, a decision she appealed to the Solothurn administrative court….
The Federal Court said that immigration officials had “rightly assumed that there was an important public interest in revoking the settlement permit” and noted that the complainant had “already received a large sum of social assistance money” and should not be entitled to further handouts moving forward….
One can fault the Swiss welfare system for having allowed this outrageous behavior – her refusing even to look for a job, and her determination to live solely on what the state provided – to continue for so long. Why did it take 17 years to finally decide to deport her? Why not have set a maximum number of years — say, three – that any immigrant could remain unemployed, after which he, or she, would be automatically subject to deportation?
Every year, using money she received from the Turkish government, this woman returned to Turkey on vacation, the country she had been born in and lived until the age of 19, and where she still had friends and family. She was not, in other words, being deported to a place where she no longer had connections. There would be no linguistic problems — she was a native speaker of Turkish — and no problem integrating into Turkish society which, in effect, she had never left even while geographically displaced.
This woman is emblematic of too many Muslim economic migrants now flooding into Europe. They claim asylum status — though it is hard to imagine what these so-called “refugees” were fleeing from in Turkey, where currently there is no war or persecution. What most interests them is not the political liberties the countries of the advanced West offer them, but the material benefits the generous welfare states of Europe offer those who gain entry. Almost everywhere in western Europe (eastern Europe is a different matter), Muslim immigrants can count on free or heavily subsidized housing, free medical care, free education, unemployment benefits (without a record of employment), family allowances, and more. These migrants, who are overwhelmingly Muslims from North Africa, the Middle East, and Turkey, are costing the European taxpayers large sums. For example, in Germany in 2022 spending on migrants rose to 28.4 billion euros, or $32 billion USD. Such sums are unsustainable, and anger over such costs, as well as over the crimes and the societal disruption attributed to Muslim migrants, has led to the meteoric rise in Germany of the anti-Muslim-immigrant party, Alternative für Deutschland; in France, alarm over Muslims already in the country has led to a severe tightening of restrictions on immigration, with President Macron adopting much of the program long promoted by Marine Le Pen, including withholding benefits to immigrants for the first five years of their residence in France; in the Netherlands, unease over the growing Muslim presence has led to the rise in popularity of Geert Wilders and his anti-Muslim-immigrant Party for Freedom (PVV), that now holds the most seats in the Dutch Parliament.
This Turkish woman’s livin’-is-easy existence in Switzerland for 40 years, and especially in the last 17 years, when for nearly the last two decades she lived entirely off the state, and did not work a single day, represents what too many Muslims in Europe have chosen to do, which is to live on benefits, supplementing them with the take from street robberies, house burglaries, and the drug trade. Now, after enduring her parasitic existence for 17 years, the Swiss have had enough. Let’s hope that her case represents a harbinger of things to come as her case prompts many other similar cases — perhaps hundreds of thousands of them across Europe — involving the Muslim economic migrants in Europe who, after having received so much, thanks to the naive benevolence of left-wing Western supporters of unhindered immigration, will now find themselves provided with a new address by the harassed Infidel governments of Western Europe: “Return to Sender.”

Compared to the millions of freeloading illegal trash being imported to the US, the EU as well as states such as Switzerland is less if the figures are correct. In December, more than three hundred thousand of this trash has walked across the Southern boarder has put the US at peril of eminent danger from a terrorist event. I do, however, wonder how many other useless freeloading members of the religion of hate and terror still live in splendor in Switzerland.

In a report I read this morning, several males coming to the U.S. with their families….wife and kids…said they had left jobs in their home countries. They are walking to the U.S. for a ‘better life’….most will end up on welfare.
Yesterday, I saw a video of a boatload….motorized vessel….landing in La Jolla, and then the passengers running with their backpacks into the affluent neighborhood. Most were young males; there was one child among the group.
The chicago city government wants residents to take the illegals into their homes. what better “welfare” is there than for them to be housed that way? No paperwork to fill out in order to eat, sleep, make phone calls, etc. at the expense of taxpayers.
The Apostle Paul wrote, “If he doesn’t want to work, neither let him eat.”

This isn’t the windy city, but same state….from today’s news cycle….
“An Illinois city council member recently suggested that illegal immigrants might be housed in the homes of affluent liberals who supported President Joe Biden.
He later reported that no one had signed up to participate.
Naperville, Illinois, City Council member Josh McBroom offered up the concept during a recent discussion about illegal immigrants flocking to nearby Chicago, to WPDE-TV.
………”McBroom said the concept would call for families to be anonymous during the process as they contact an email address and ask to be added to a list of potential homes where illegal immigrants could crash.”
The articl says a lot more….just pasted a few paragraphs

Here’s the **fun part.**
“McBroom said he has been underwhelmed at the reaction.
“It’s weird. During the last presidential race, we had thousands of Biden signs in Naperville. We’ve got houses all over town that advertise support for this mass migration of illegals. They say ‘no human is illegal,’” McBroom said in a radio interview, according to the DuPage Policy Journal.
“Since I’ve proposed this, I’ve haven’t had a single person ask me, ‘Where’s the sign-up sheet? I want to sign the sign-up sheet, I’m ready to sign my house up for the sign up sheet’ It’s shocking,” he said.
McBroom said Biden supporters should be knocking down the door to participate.
“These are the people that voted for this. We’ve got thousands of illegals coming into the area. And they’re homeless — in the middle of winter,” McBroom said.
”You voted for this. You sign up. Be the change. Open your house,” he said.”

Spot on! Colorado has the same problem, thanks to the Marxist invaders and their “sanctuary” mind virus. My once-beautiful birthplace looks smells and sounds more and more like a third-world sh*thole every time I go outside. It’s horrific. I certainly didn’t vote for this. Nor will I aid and abet them in any manner, other than what I am forced to do via taxation. The only thing the filthy freeloaders should be given is a swiftly arranged, one-way ticket back to where they came from.

Perhaps when she tried to renew the last time, different people looked at the application than had looked at the previous applications.
It has been the law in the U.S. that if a person wants welfare of some king, he/she must also look for work and if turning down an offer, it must be for a very good reason…like too far to travel, etc.
Any nation allowing mozlums to enter, and then apply for welfare, should ‘just say no.’ they should be made to work for whatever benefits they receive, just as non-mozlums are expected to do.
mozlums are not being persecuted….anywhere, even though china is trying to control them…and should work where they are. mozlums invade with the idea, the goal, of becoming the rulers, the ones in charge, the ones living off the labor of others.
This lazy mozlum was successful at cheating the system meant to help people who cannot work. Just as they cheat the systems of freedoms non-mozlum nations provide.

Thanks for responding to my opine. You mentioned La Jolla. I used to surf there in the 1960s and I just cannot imagine illegals being welcomed there. I totally agree that those who stand on the soap box and cry for these illegitimate pieces of crap should house them and provide for their every need and not to complain when they steal their goods.

Ray, I don’t know that the criminals were “welcomed”….people on the video seemed surprised…saying words I don’t, but to suggest they didn’t like seeing it. the criminals ran down the street and out of sight of the camera.
I’m not going to call them illegals any longer….you know those signs that say “no human is illegal.”…But, to call all of them criminals….because they are as they have broken laws just by coming here without permission.
At the very least, they are trespassing.

While it’s the law in the U.S. that if you’re on welfare you’re supposed to be at least seeking work, in practice we have multiple generations of welfare queens, mostly black, living entirely at taxpayer expense. Including 25 year old grandmothers.

All alleged refugees manage, every year or so, to go back from where they came from. How are they legitimately considered refugees if they can return annually to their shithole countries.
Siddi Nasrani says
Well, that proves that they are NOT refugees, give them a one way ticket back to the home
country with NO RETURN.

According thier book ,everything in entire univers belongs to their allah,so anything belongs to allah.means belongs to them.
One musla said,muslims should be allowed to live in any part of the world without any problem,after all earth belongs to our allah,
Working,building future and paying tax is not important for muslas,only going to janna ,what matters,

I recall the stats on Muslims in Europe were that at best about 80% of them are on welfare and have NEVER worked, and in some countries (believe it was Sweden) 98%.
Yeah, real productive contributors to our society.
When I become dictator, only citizens will get any sort of benefits. (Not even legal immigrants — to qualify to come here, they must contribute, not suck at the teat.) Birthright citizenship ends. As to illegals, first time we might just deport you. Second time we feed you to the pigs. And gun turrets at the border, because this has to end.

As bad as this all is there is one good thing that is happening. The Democratic party is losing the support of Hispanic, blacks, Jews and most of the other minorities. They have realized that the Democrats are only interested in them as Democratic voters. These people, especially the Citizen Hispanic population, see these illegals as a threat to their jobs, their safety. Having your children sent home from school so they can use the building to house these illegals. Just how many votes for Democraps do you think this will get them. These people are paying taxes so their children can get public education and they are being sent home to sit in from of a computer get taught by some nose picking turd from the NEA. What about families were both parents work. The bottom line is the Democrats are imploding and will become a minority party. I cannot wait for Trump in his first act as President sign the official order pardoning all of the January the 6th’s people. The laminations and chest beating will be epic.

Transmaster ….
I believe there must be a plan that hasn’t emerged yet ..
The Democraps are taking all this flack for a reason, it’s gone way above just reversing Trumps exective orders, I believe they have found a way to get all the illegals to vote, the domocraps will pull this at the last minute so it doesn’t have time to be reversed, then scare the hell out of all the illegals to get them to vote for them…. bingo 10 million Democrap voters
Trump won’t be able counter that and we will have democracy democrat style for ever ….
Vote for freedom so long as it what you’re voting for is what you’re told to …. this is very scary

To add to the abuse of the Swiss tolerant state, a large number of faux”refugees” are not only ‘economic migrants’ who should apply for a Visa back home and not fraudulently as most do, but the male “refugees” also bring with them the problem of POLYGAMY which is illegal. They bring their second and third wives posing as “sisters, cousins, daughters” and they all receive “benefits” as single persons! “Honor killings” in U.S., Canada, UK are common and many the result of this messy arrangement. Meantime, the Governments are allowing Polygamy and Sharia Law to flourish by Islamist communities under their noses and do not investigate these cases. These scams are very common. Ask any immigration lawyer or “consultant”. They are making a fortune!

If Trump gets back into power he will build up, reinforce and then enforce the Wall. This will mean hundreds and thousands of “asylum seekers” trapped at the Mexican border. Maybe this will force Mexico to tighten its own borders…
