Once you establish a pro-view on immigration or migration in your city or urbanized region (doesn't matter which party runs things)....you have a list of priorities facing the city and the future of that political party.
1. You face a uphill problem of preventing a ghetto from forming. If you have one end of the city or town....which is a magnet for the incoming migrants....it attracts public attention. If crime, assaults, or 'problems' require more policing in that part of the city.....more cops have to be hired, thus triggering more arrests/detentions, and more reports get filed which might get dragged out by the newspapers.
2. Once the guy is delivered on day one.....a clock is ticking away on getting him accumulated or integrated, with the language classes and the German integration class. Then the local Job-Center gets involved and see if they can fit the guy, or get him into some job-training situation. If after three years....this guy and his family are still on welfare....the odds are heavily in favor of a more permanent situation developing....where the guy and the family never leave welfare.
3. Drug-usage escalation. There should be no escalation of drug sales in your town, but if the cops are telling you that escalation is taking place, and that virtually all of the dealers are non-Germans, then it starts to become public knowledge and leads to questions. Even if you are only talking about twenty-five non-German dealers in a city of 100,000 residents....it begs questions and could potentially erode public confidence in the mayor and political players.
4. A virtual competition between the 'losers' and 'winners' in the migration game. It's high odds that of every ten migrants.....at least eight will make an effort and attempt to make a success out of their 'adventure' in life. The other two? That's the group that you will continue have to work on....put pressure upon them to compete, or to force them into a return to their homeland. This competition thing gets to being an item that the public views.
5. Finally, you come to stupid evening drinking or drug binges, where this new guy has gotten himself into an aggressive state of mind....creating a potential assault. Virtually every single mayor in Germany has to think about these events and have a scripted answer ready to go on Monday when the news folks come and ask stupid questions. Maybe it only comes up once or twice a year.....maybe it's once a month.
All of these simply add to the frustration level of politicians because they'd prefer the image of pro-asylum and pro-migration to be a 100-percent feel-good situation. And it's simply not ever going to be that way. So as things add up...your 'tally' really amounts to the way that the public feels every five years, and whether your party gets 'fired' or 'rehired' over their success or lack of success.
