Europe's migrant problem

After WWII, ins nhort time over 12 million people of german descent had to flee from eastern territories and into war-torn Germany. With 25% of pre-war housing destroyed, no economy and no jobs, hunger being widespread, it is an urban legend that there was a strong culture of welcoming the refugees back then, although these for the most were cultural relatives, sharing speech, religion, historically grown identity, moral values, descent, etc. I know this from first hand witnesses, because the family of my father was one of those refugees that needed to flee. Life of the refugees in Germany was a lousy one, they stood at the very end of the social ladder, had no chance to climb it up until the early 60s, and everybody hated them for picking away from the already scarce resources. The childhood of my father and his older brother, was miserable, sometimes hell.

The people now flooding into Germany, for the most are Muslims, have a totally different socialisation, are educated in completely different and all too often opposing moral values, are a completely different speech tribe, and burst into a Germany that already has according to various studies 400,000 to 700,000 lacking flats and serious budget deficits for investing into education and infrastructure. And the boss of the German labour agency already had to admit that due to the newcomers flooding the labour market, unemployment rate next year must be expected to show a very steep climb. Not even every third seems to qualify for the education standards needed to integrate him into the labour market, btw, although severla hundred thousand jobs are vacant. It must be feared that the costs for the social system in netto effect will outclass the gains. There is the attempt over here to gloss over the impact of the refugees and migrants by referring to Germany's critical demographic situation, that the population is overgaing and that the mass of young people now coming in is pour relief. Well - that remains to be seen. Scepticism trumps optimism, imo.

And this is the projection for just the end of this year when over 1 million arrivals will have been counted. The coming years with even more arrivals are not even present in the formula.

Well.
