Angela
Merkel’s infantile watchword “Wir
schaffen das” [We can do it] has become the leitmotiv of the rule of
injustice, uncorrected to this day, in the German migration policy. Five years
after the issuance of this watchword, its failure is obvious: Millions of
migrants have been admitted into Germany – it certainly cannot be said there
has been a successful integration into the German labor market. Three quarters
of the Syrians living here today draw Hartz IV [unemployment compensation]. It
is no better with those from the other principal countries of origin. The
number of foreign Hartz IV recipients has risen in the past ten years by almost
a million. And the number of foreign recipients of benefits continually further
increases due to a prolific birthrate and the reunion of families.
In
addition, constantly come new asylum applicants and illegal immigrants. Over a
quarter million asylum applicants,
ordered to depart, presently live in Germany; not having departed, they must
likewise be financed. The intensified competition for dwelling space and
workplaces for the less qualified as well as the overloading of the social
system are already today a great burden. In the time of the Corona economic
crisis, of the recession and of the progressive senescence of society, it will
lead to massive social problems.
The
costs of Merkel’s “Wir schaffen das” must
be borne by a shrinking German population. According to conservative estimates,
its overall economic costs exceed the trillion mark. The enormous social
damages, like the partial disempowerment of the legal order, the de facto
legalization of the smuggling [Schleuser]
industry, the high cost of criminality and, not least, the Islamic terrorists, which
with Merkel’s migration wave have attained unacknowledged admittance into the
country, are still far from being definitively balanced.
