PVV claims immigrants cost Netherlands billions
Geert Wilders’ anti-immigration Freedom Party (PVV) claims in advance of June national elections that immigration of non-westerners to the country costs between six and ten billion Euros a year. The number comes from preliminary results of a private research report by research institute Nyfer, conducted for the PVV, to be published at the end of the month. PVV Leader Geert Wilders called the numbers ‘conservative’ estimates and claimed that the price tag shows that the Netherlands must put an end to non-western immigration.
