      We had this conversation yesterday from an article from Helsinki times, and it said foreigners pay more taxes than how much benefits they recieve. Yes, but it was almost 50/50, making the number actually alarming.

      Yle is 100% bs.

      Immigrants who integrate into the society are good indeed!

      I mean, in general immigrants do bring good stuff to the Finnish economy.

      The study does not do an apples to apples comparison.

      The reason that the finns are in tbe red is because of the pensioners. E.g no immigrants have been here long enough to be on the pension.

      Talking about immigration as a whole in this context is just stupid and borderline dishonest. When in reality there are different groups of immigrants that are widely different in this matter. Some are more of a burden that Finland has chose to take due to humanitarian reasons, and some are good for public finances and generating tax revenue. Saying that immigration is good or bad for public finances is an oversimplification and does not reflect whats actually going on in this matter, because immigrants are not some single group that are all the same and are immigrating here for different reasons with different educational backgrounds etc.

      Yes, we need these articles once per week to remind people about the benefits of mass immigration

      We don’t know who is good to whom or what. Life is too complicated for that. I’m a native Finn, and personally I don’t care about migrants‘ cost to Finland, or even how migrants live, whether they are perfect people, or are they old friends of police as we say in Finland. I know that no one asked how I feel about this issue, but my feelings might reflect broader views too. Who knows. So because I’m not perfect, why should I demand that any other person is? I don’t accept that new trend to bully migrants in their residence permit issues and citizenship issues. Probably the trend is going to continue, that’s almost 100% sure. Dark times are ahead. 

      But if we try to understand Finnish mental landscape, this all is linked to our history and certain kind of loneliness that we are forced to experience as a nation. Let me try to explain. Following text does not reflect my personal feelings or beliefs totally, these are just things that I can spot in our culture right now. 

      Right now about 11% of Finland’s population are other than native Finnish and Swedish speakers. In Sweden about 35% of people have a foreign background (40 % of the youth). So in Sweden the situation is that one day the original Swedish culture might vanish. What a pity, after all Swedes and their culture were our best friend about a thousand years. But everything ends in this world. We will have a new „Sweden“ whatever it is, but its emotional links to Finland are naturally weaker. Why would they care about Finland? Time to survive alone on this side of the pond. So my point is that these are sentimental things. We are talking about FEELINGS here, not amount of different moneys.
