Its not that they start to feel numb, they didn't care in the first place. I have had random co-workers start talking about how they don't want foreigners in Finland and that in Sweden immigrants (maybe you) get free money and don't work.


Asylum seekers in the EU indeed get a monthly allowance and are prohibited from working. Is this not a known fact?


They need to get permission, but they can work. I did mention that this person wanted all foreigners out.


Which is a direct result of the right-wing conservatives complaining about them taking locals' jobs. There are some exceptions like for Ukrainian refugees.

By the way this is only during the validation of their asylum-seeker status. Once they get permanent residency they can work.
