The offer will likely be taken up by the least desirables in society, like gypsies and non-European immigrants.

Unfortunately that may very well be the case, in a healthy society the gypsies and non-Europeans wouldn't even be allowed to live let alone breed within our nations. They are just going to see this as another hand-out, while there may be some good Austrian folks taking up this offer, I think we can all bet on some freeloaders from the third world taking it up too. Once we take our nations back, we would be free of that worry.

That depends upon which Gypsies you talk about.

I think they'll find a home in Pakistan or in India, :D If those nations won't take them then the Middle of the Atlantic Ocean would be a good home, but then we'd be arrested for pollution. Crap, what do you suggest we do with them?
