It's well over a million a year. Most of whom won't be rich enough to contribute to the State.

The costs will have to be born by the citizens paying taxes. To cover, housing, benefits, education, healthcare, policing, etc. If they get a job, it will in most cases be an existing one. Putting a citizen out of a job.

The elite are a small percentage and they can go wherever they choose. I had no problems moving to Czech before it was in the EU. I was immediately a contributor to the economy.

There's also the element of culture, religion, ethics and morals. Also democracy, the people need to be asked how many they're willing to pay for.
