Last night, I sat and watched a German news documentary piece....several stories laid out....but one in particular caught my eye.
The German government decided with much argument.....by various political parties.....that German authorities really needed a secure facility at some airport....to hold soon-to-be-deported immigrants.
Hours and hours were wasted as the Bavarian CSU Party chief in the Bundestag made his pitch. Eventually, it was agreed upon. There would be a facility put up at the Munich Airport. So these guys went to bargain around with the airport for a facility to house such people. What the airport offered?
It was a aircraft hanger. Yes, one of those larger sized hangers. So they moved in cube-like steel buildings....put security fencing around it and you had a overly LARGE compound to hold about twenty folks.
Cost? Well....Focus (the German news magazine) got around to that detail today....420,000 Euro a month. Right now....there's two guys in the facility waiting to be deported. That's it.
You could have gone out to some farm field and rented a two-acre site for less than a 1,000 Euro a month. Why they had to be there instead of a jail? Well....the opposition parties said it wasn't optically good to show them in jail.
So in a year, they are spending near 5-million Euro for this one single operation. It's a tremendous amount of waste, but this is how stupid the Merkel-coalition has become over the past decade.
