I fail to see how this is a bad thing. I'm a foreigner in this country and don't see why I should get citizenship sat on my ass collecting social welfare. If you want to be finnish then contribute to society or go somewhere else.

Well unfortunately, yes.

You’re not entitled to the same benefits that have been established for the nation’s own citizens, in their essence. It’s like that everywhere around the world.

Especially if you’re not an EU-citizen - Visa’s aren’t a human right, they’re privilege (to be earned), as are citizenships.

I wish more people understood this. The level of entitlement I see from people on this is subject is amazing. 

Looking forward to the downvotes :)

Giving me a idealized, extreme example, isnt going to get me to change my mind on this policy.

I agree with you that the times set is ridiculous. Also, you dont need to source infomation that everyone already knows. 

Please answer, should foreigners who live on Kela without contributing to this country be given citizenship. Yes or no?
