Migrants are already draining the German taxpayer to the tune of tens of billions every year, but some enterprising migrants are earning shocking amounts of money. In a case in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, a 23-year-old Syrian migrant is receiving €13,000 a month for housing five underage migrants inside his apartment. The case is reportedly not uncommon, and according to NIUS, it represents a new “business model in Germany.” At the same time, the youth welfare offices and companies that arrange these accommodations are also earning good money.
Many of the “unaccompanied migrant minors” are not even minors, but simply lie about their age when entering Europe, as Remix News has extensively documented. More and more of these types of migrants have been arriving in Germany since 2015. Once in Germany, the youth welfare office is responsible for finding housing for these underage migrants. They work with “independent sponsoring associations” which then place these migrants with host families. Many of these families receive large sums of money for this service, while the associations also receive a generous monthly “fee” for placing the migrants.
The NIUS news outlet has revealed the extent of this racket, which involves huge sums of taxpayer euros. Politicians have done almost nothing to prevent it. In the case of the Syrian man, Osama H., he has lived in Hagen since 2015. His birthday is Jan. 1, which was the standard birthday issued to hundreds of thousands of migrants who arrived in Germany without identity papers. Although the single man is officially a hairdresser, a career which usually generates little income, he recently learned he could become a host father and earn substantial amounts of money by housing unaccompanied minors.
After signing a contract on Dec. 21, 2023, with youth organization “Kinego GmbH,” he received his first two children, 16-year-old Abdurrahman A. and 17-year-old Mohammad A. Their birthdays are also Jan. 1.
He receives €4,074 a month for these two children, from the youth welfare office to meet the “basic needs” of the “teens.” Kinego also gets its cut, receiving €937.15 a month per child, per month, which equals €1,874.30. It spends only three hours a week coordinating with the youth welfare office and the host family for this large sum of money.
The Syrian, who is only 23, then took in three other children, with the next contract signed on Jan. 3, 2024, this time with a different welfare office and Kinego. He also had a new address while signing the contract, as he was now able to afford a larger apartment.
The Syrian received another 16-year-old, a 17-year-old, and then finally, a 13-year-old, all from different youth welfare offices, including Paderborn and Kamen. Upon a request for comment, the youth welfare authority refused to confirm or deny the details of the case, saying it would be a violation of privacy.
Due to various fee increases, the Syrian is now earning up to €2,705 per child, resulting in approximately €13,000 per month in earnings. He has also earned a variety of one-off payments, including €1,250 for the “initial supplies of clothing and necessary furniture,” according to documents seen by NIUS.
This is far from the only case involving migrants earning extraordinary amounts of money from German taxpayers. Foreigners in Germany are defrauding taxpayers out of millions by claiming they have foreign children who are not actually theirs, with the women involved in the scams winning social benefits and residence permits.
In an egregious case reported by Remix News, Nigerian Jonathan A., who calls himself “Mr. Cash Money,” claimed to have 24 foreign children, for which he is costing German taxpayers €1.5 million a year.
According to public media, German taxpayers are paying for his 24 children from various women, who are mainly from African countries. Jonathan A., who was born in Nigeria, has since obtained German citizenship. As a result, any child he has, regardless of where they are born, automatically receives citizenship, and through family reunification, the mothers, the children, and their relatives automatically receive the right to reside in Germany. In Jonathan A.’s case, this total currently equals 94 people, however, authorities believe many of these children are not actually his.
He earns approximately €22,000 in welfare payments for his various children and has an additional two paternity applications in the pipeline. Nevertheless, the office responsible for disbursing payments to the man labels him as “destitute” since he earns no income from any job.
