Immigration from non-western countries costs Dutch society between €6bn and €10bn a year, according to a preliminary report by private research institute Nyfer for the anti-Islam party PVV, the Telegraaf reports on Wednesday.
The research is based on 'conservative' estimates of the cost of 20,000 non-western migrants, the paper says. 'That is the number of foreigners who come here every year in order to reunite with their families. So the real cost is much higher,' PVV leader Geert Wilders told the paper.
According to Nos tv, Nyfer officials are angry the preliminary findings have been publicised and say the final report is due to be published at the end of the month. Wilders himself has come up with the rough estimates used in the Telegraaf, Nos quotes Nyfer as saying.
