Migration Story

 There's an interesting piece written by Jan Fleischauer today, entitled: "Did We Let The Wrong People Into The County, Time For A Radical Step."

So, he goes into analysis mode and describes the problem of various cultures given a chance to migrate into Germany, and maybe there should have been thought-process to who you let in.

To be honest, I don't think any of the pro-migration German politicians could dream of a negative.  It was simply the reality of the 2013 to 2016 era. 

Around 13.4-million non-Germans live in Germany today.  Out of this, roughly 5-million are from EU states....the rest are non-EU folks.  Americans?  121,000 roughly.  Australians and NZ folks?  Around 17,000.  The bulk?  Turks at 1.5 million and the Afghan/Iraqi/Syrians at roughly 1.4 million.  (2022 numbers)

This discussion comes up because of the Gaza-Hamas business, and recent riots/demonstrations throughout Germany.  

I would argue that a lot of good intentions were put forward by the German leadership, and people wanted to believe in the best possible scenario. 

Fixing or resolving this now?  I don't see how you do that.  If you were to arrest over the next month....10,000 pro-Palestinian folks and threaten to deport them....with court action, they could probably delay this for years....making Germans even more critical of the deportation actions and triggering asylum to collapse.

If this demonstration thing were to continue through the Christmas holidays and cause problems for the Christmas markets?  Oh, that would trigger a lot of negative thoughts about immigration, and the Green Party would find loss of support to be a major problem for their current positions in the coalition.  In that scenario, I could see the SPD asking why maintain this coalition, and ask for a SPD-CDU-CSU government to be installed.
