NOTE: they are OPEN to receiving refugees!
But the government remains resistant to reforming immigration, beyond accepting skilled professionals, amid fears of disruptions to social order.the administration wants to use information technology, artificial intelligence, and female and elderly workers to deal with the labor shortage.THIS is what is interesting AND important:"Policy makers have studied Germany's guest workers program and came to the conclusion that temporary migrants are a more rational migration strategy to maintain social stability and a consolidated identity," Nagy explained. "They also feel it prevents or minimizes the anti-migrant problems and violence seen in Europe and other countries."

They DO realize that criminal immigration is just that - criminal.
By definition.
They are VERY open to welcome actual refugees.
