Still not saying you where wrong. I think that is important, cause your whole idea is that it hardly cost anything. While it is drowning the welfare system in Holland. You are spreading fake news and saying to others they are wrong. But i have never heard you say where wrong, only that others are wrong. And maybe you have the idea why some right wing politicians get many votes.

"First of all, if a foreign national is granted an asylum residence permit (irrespective of whether this is for a fixed or an indefinite period of time), he must then be equated with a Dutch person under Article 11 (2) of the Participation Act (with regard to the Participation Act). This means that he is entitled to assistance under the same conditions as a Dutch person.
In practice, that is of course not always that easy. Work and homes are not there for the taking. The solutions are then the assistance and priority allocation of a social rental home."

"Despite the revival of the economy, a record number of people are on social assistance. At the end of March there were 474 thousand people entitled to social assistance, 15 thousand more than a year earlier. The increase can be explained by the fact that Syrians, Eritreans and other asylum seekers who have received a residence permit can apply for assistance."
"The number of people entitled to social assistance with a non-Western migrant background increased by 19 thousand in a year, while the number of people entitled to social assistance with a Dutch or Western background decreased by four thousand."

Most of the refugees in the assistance
Since 2015, thousands of refugees have been given a home in Rotterdam. Four have found a paid job, 95 percent live on benefits. "They are busy integrating."
Over the past two years, the city has given 2,429 asylum seekers a home, 80 more than required by law. Next year the city will need 80 less. Of those 2,429, 95 percent live on benefits. Together they form almost 5 percent of the total number of people receiving assistance in Rotterdam.
That 95 percent is indeed something to be scared of, says Jaco Dagevos, professor of integration and migration at Erasmus University Rotterdam, who works at the Social and Cultural Planning Office. Just like the national average of 90 percent. Although those percentages are easily explained, he says. "Status holders are very busy learning the language, integrating, family reunification and getting their finances in order."
Municipalities fall short of millions to pay social assistance benefits. The amount they receive from central government to financially support the unemployed is too low. No account is taken of the growth in the number of social assistance recipients due to the large flow of refugees in 2015 and 2016.
WAJONG WELLFARE
And what to think about this, the WAJONG wellfare is the highest wellfare you get in Holland. You get it for life and mostly for handicapt people and people who has Down syndrome etcetra,. No need to find a job, you get it till you are 67, than you get a pension.
"Human rights activists have helped a traumatized status holder from Somalia to receive a Wajong benefit!
The first application was rejected. The refugee had to go to the municipality for a sober social assistance benefit. Only after the profession with the help of specialists and a lawyer did he ultimately become fully occupationally disabled and have no work capacity!
The benefit of the Wajong: No strict rules, no capital limit, the benefit is higher than the assistance, no reintegration / job application obligation. And you don't have to work."

FAKE NUMBERS - FAKE NUMBERS
And this is what i know about Holland. About other countries i don't know how their system works. But i bet they get more money in the end than in that fake image.
I am in favour of helping people that need it, but not in this way. Now you might get an idea why people say 'enough is enough'.
