Somali migrants are costing taxpayers in the Netherlands hundreds of thousands of dollars per migrant

An analysis released by Institute of Labor Economics (IZA), went over decades of taxpayer data and found that first-generation migrants from the Horn of Africa and Sudan – Somalia - have an average lifetime net cost of $760,000 per person.

The study also found that migrants from North America and Japan actually generated a surplus of about $300,000 per person.
The study tracked taxes paid against benefits drawn over full lifetimes.
The tax burden balloons for families.
Somali households (two parents entering at 30, with kids at 0 and 10) rack up a per-person deficit of almost $900,000 because of their low employment, high dependence on welfare and integration shortfalls.
In the United States about 81.5% of the Somali population is unemployed or underemployed - that number slightly lower in Minnesota at 80% which boasts the largest concentration of Somalians in the United States.
They are centered mostly in Ilhan Omar's Minneapolis.
An in depth study on the cost of Somalis per lifetime hasn't been complete yet, however, A 2018 state audit revealed a cost of $181 million in 2015 for human services for Somali migrants (i.e. cash aid, Medicaid, food stamps) for 24,000 refugees – many of whom were Somali – with $240,000 spent in interpreters alone.
