The following year, the city\u2019s spending on migrunts swelled to \u20ac1.5 billion, while in 2017 and 2018 spending dropped to about one billion per year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">As of June of 2019, the city\u2019s expenditures on migrants were at roughly 500 million. By the end of this year, the Senate expects German taxpayers to have spent close to \u20ac800 million to house, clothe, feed, and educate the migrants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Alexander Wolf, the chairman of the AfD parliamentary group in Hamburg, criticised the city\u2019s enormous expenditures on migrant welfare, referring to them as \u201cthe insane cost of [Germany\u2019s] refugee policy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The \u201castronomical sums\u201d spend on migrant welfare \u201cwithout [Hamburgers] ever being asked whether they want it at all\u201d are \u201ca bottomless bit\u201d Wolf continued while pointing out that five billion euros in five years is as much as the \u201cgross domestic product of many African countries\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">It\u2019s not just Hamburg taxpayers who are being forced to spend astronomical sums of money on migrants. In September, Germany\u2019s Federal Employment Agency released\u00a0figures\u00a0which revealed that 40 percent of all welfare recipients in Germany are foreigners, costing German taxpayers more than 4 billion euros each month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Russia Insider Tip Jar <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.me\/RussiaInsider\">Paypal<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/TeamRussiaInsider\"><strong>Patreon<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Original source <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/europeansworldwide.wordpress.com\/2019\/12\/28\/pity-a-city-named-hamburg\/\">The Ethnic European<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previously hidden figures reveal the true cost of Merkel\u2019s insane migrant policy <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":144946,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[97],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-200106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-european-migrant-crisis"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=200106"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200106\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":200109,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200106\/revisions\/200109"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/144946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=200106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=200106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=200106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
