Roundandroundwego I don't know who the "everyone", "you" and "your" are, but I doubt anyone denies a welfare state is expensive and has to be met by taxes. What are the alternatives though, if not costlier still in other ways and indirectly? Sink or swim!
However, no country gives its services free to non-nationals, except perhaps at individual person level, nor can it be expected to do so, although many have reciprocal health arrangements with others to cover normal travel. The host is reimbursed but via insurance or at governmental agency level.
I had to look up Geert Wilders to learn who he is: the founder and leader of a far-Right Dutch political party unique in being a party of just one member: Geert Wilders. Its primary aim seems an radical anti-Islamic drive, fostered by his fear of the religion having its own way in a constitutionally secular country whose society's past was heavily religious in three main Christian sects. Holland has also been generally welcoming of immigrants, but there is a rising fear of the numbers now making their way to NW Europe from Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe (apart from Ukrainian refugees).
So if that's what Wilders says, he seems in no position to say it.
By far-Right I mean in European terms: the mainstream Left-Right spectrum around much of Western Europe appears as wide as, but generally somewhat left of, its American counterpart. Though there are strong extremist, mainly-Right, ideologies growing on the Continent, encouraged by strong-arm leaders like Presidents Erdogan (Turkey) and Orban (Hungary) exploiting real worries and one-sided desires among their electorates.
