Outraged Swiss village of 1,000 residents forced to raise taxes after African refugee mother-of-seven moves there and costs them £40,000 a month in benefits
Village of Hagenbuch spends thousands every month on one refugee family
Mother and seven children arrived from Eritrea, East Africa three years ago
They were granted five year visa and told they could live totally rent free
Four children were later placed in orphanage at cost of £24,000 every month
Family also receive monthly living allowance and entertainment bills are paid
Village now forced to raises taxes as family take one third of annual budget
When the woman and her family arrived in Hagenbuch three years ago, the municipal government immediately agreed to cover the full cost of their rent and £1,700 a month in living expenses.
A short time later the woman sought further financial help, claiming she had become overwhelmed by family commitments and was now struggling to look after all seven of her children.
This resulted in four of them being sent to an orphanage - with the local authority paying out £6,000 for each child every month - a total cost of £24,000.
HOW ONE FAMILY OF EIGHT COSTS A SWISS VILLAGE £40,000 A MONTH
£24,000 - Cost of looking after four children at the local orphanage
£13,000 - Social worker expenses
£1,700 - General living expenses allowance
£1,300 - Housing costs and entertainment bills
On top of this there are also the costs of helping the woman pay her cooking and cleaning bills - plus rolling entertainment expenses, such as paying the entry fee for all eight family members at the zoo.
As well as straight handouts, the family also reportedly cost the local authority thousands more every month by tying up social workers and carers for six hours a day, six days a week.
On average these social workers cost the council about £90 every hour they work, rising to £95 an hour in the evening or at weekends.

That is just like the U.S. only on a smaller scale.

The Euro peons suffer from an incurable bleeding heart, and then they are bitten and then cry to the world, like the French.
