- https://necpluribusimpar.net/quick-l...crime-germany/Germany after 2015 is basically a natural experiment on what happens when a country does the kind of stupid shit libertarians and leftists advocate on immigration. It never ceases to amaze me how otherwise intelligent people can delude themselves into believing even the most absurd nonsense. For instance, after Merkel decided to open the floodgates in 2015, the cognoscenti were confidently asserting that, by letting in more than a million people who for the most part didn’t speak a word of German, were largely uneducated by Western standards and had a totally different culture, Germany would soon become a land of milk and honey. But then reality happened and, as the Financial Times recently pointed out, it wasn’t pretty:
Of course, this is not surprising in the least, what is surprising is that so many people were stupid enough as to think it wasn’t going to happen. But the most amazing thing is that you can be certain that, despite this fiasco, the sophisticates will continue to treat anyone who voice skepticism about the benefits of mass immigration in Europe as a bigoted cretin. To be convinced of your intellectual and moral superiority when you are making claims that are manifestly absurd is perhaps the worst kind of stupidity.Initially, the influx of so many working-age, highly-motivated immigrants spurred optimism that they would mitigate Germany’s acute skills shortage and solve the demographic crisis posed by its dangerously low birth rate. Dieter Zetsche, chief executive of carmaker Daimler, said the refugees could lay the foundation for the “next German economic miracle”.
But those hopes have faded as a new realism about the migrants’ lack of qualifications and language skills sinks in. “There has been a shift in perceptions,” Ms Özoğuz [the German commissioner for immigration, refugees and integration] told the FT. Many of the first Syrian refugees to arrive in Germany were doctors and engineers, but they were succeeded by “many, many more who lacked skills”.
A recent report by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) found that only 45 per cent of Syrian refugees in Germany have a school-leaving certificate and 23 per cent a college degree.
Statistics from the Federal Labour Agency show the employment rate among refugees stands at just 17 per cent. It said 484,000 of the refugees are looking for work, up from 322,000 last July — an increase of 50 per cent.
Of those, 178,500 are officially unemployed, meaning they not only have no work but are not enrolled in any training programmes or language courses — up 27 per cent on last July.
