Migration waves are not among the primary structural problems in Germany.The German economy’s dependence on America along the Atlantic axis and the industrial shift of its workforce eastward constitute the root of the problem.Another issue is the brain drain from Germany.Many German citizens are migrating to German-speaking countries, primarily Austria, or to English-speaking regions for opportunities in the IT sector.In other words, Germany cannot retain its skilled workforce. It cannot break free from its economic dependence on America. Industrially, it cannot compete with China.When you add migration and a cumbersome bureaucracy to all of this, the current picture emerges.But it’s interesting that he thought he could solve the problem by eliminating secondary causes instead of addressing the root cause.
One would expect systematic approach from Germans, but instead here is the Chancellor that just throws random numbers around and blabbers unrelated shit to appease Nazis in the country.
I expect Merz to be gone in three years.
Snap!
Imagine fleeing your country 10 years ago, struggling to find your feet in a series of foreign countries, finally landing a place to live and a job, meeting someone nice and having a kid; they’re 7 years old and in school, and you wake up with a threat of deportation.
It’s been a decade! I’m sure there are people who want to return, but I can’t imagine relocating a family in that way.
It’s really a hard decision. My personal experience as someone involved in supporting immigrants in Germany, is that some do not integrate. its very hard for some to learn a new language, adapt to new culture… I know immigrant who cannot build a sentence in German after 5 years here. If you lack education, or unfit for hard physical work, what can you expect but collecting social money? So yes, the kids are in school and at some point they will learn. But the parents are forever in limbo. And they do not feel good about it. Would those people not have a better life in their origin country? On their own, I do not think they would go back but with some help….
It’s “easier” not to integrate in that scenario too. Because of the big influx, there’s lots of people with your language and culture. Why learn new things? There’s also lots of people that you can blend in with and engage in asocial activities, especially you don’t have any qualifications for work. And it goes on.
Lots of people here take advantage of newcomers from their same culture. They’re trusted, because they supposedly walked the same path, but really they’re abusing the people.

Sweden is having worse.
Imagine moving with your parents when you were 2-3-4 years old. Going to school and talking and walking like a native, only difference being skin colour. Now you are 18 and they have decided that you need to be deported the country from where your parents come from, to the country where you have no one to call yours. Also, explains the Swedish policy against Jews between 1930s to 1942
I don’t really disagree, but it does make me wonder what the future of the right to asylum will look like if the lesson becomes “temporary asylum seekers will never go home, and you won’t be allowed to force them because they’ve put down too many roots”
I worry that the backlash against this stuff is going to ensure that we’re unable to help future waves of asylum seekers, which are certainly going to be coming.
Agree. Especially when there’s a big influx all at once it can be unsettling to the population and lead to resentment.
Merz says a lot of rubbish.
Merz is an idiot and has learned nothing. You don’t say hard numbers. In three years, the AgD and other right wingers will nail him on these (you promised 80 %, where are they?) and he will have to admit its less, giving them Munition against him.
I get that he wants to placate the “conservative” voters, but not like that. He hurts himself more than anything.
Guess he still shits on the analysis of people with first-hand knowledge of the situation in Syria (German article).
I was under the impression that he just echoed, what Ahmed al-Sharaa said (well knowing he would say something similar or worse without anyone else taking the lead)
As a German I’m ashamed of this sad excuse of a chancellor.
Fking racists
