"A village of just 1,000 residents in Switzerland has been forced to raise taxes because an African refugee and her seven children cost the local authority £40,000 in benefits every month."

£40,000 = $65,000 per month in benefits

Good for them. It will be paid back ten-fold.

There was a mix-up at the Somali sperm bank and all the kids came out white. They all want BMWs now.

I HATE white folks.

wtf

What the hell are the eating? Even adding shite like trips to the zoo it doesn't make any sense. Unless it is some government run orphanage that pays $10,000 for a hammer type thing.

6,000 pounds a month in orphanage fees? Per child? Hell I'll take em into my own house for a mere 5,500 apiece. We could get into a bidding war here.

I guarantee every progressive has used Switzerland or a similarly run country as an example for what the want America to be, and they don't understand why it's a stupid comparison. Guaranteed.
