The Netherlands is preparing for a snap election amid debates on immigration costs. Far-right commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek exaggerated claims about the financial burden of non-Western immigrants, which contradicts a study by Jan van de Beek that suggests migrants can contribute positively to the economy. Critics argue that the interpretation of migration costs is flawed, and that migrants' contributions improve over time. The Dutch welfare state is not at risk of collapse due to immigration, as suggested by some studies.
