BERLIN (AP) — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the 16 state governors agreed on new and stricter measures to curb the high number of migrants flowing into the country, reaching a compromise on an issue that has become a huge political problem for the government and a hot-button topic in society.
The new measures include speeding up asylum procedures, benefit restrictions for asylum-seekers and more financial aid from the federal government for the states and local communities dealing with the influx.
This is so incredibly stupid. Germany desperately needs immigration. Even the official numbers are about 400k net immigration per year, just to keep our current workforce.
We “import” vietnamese nurses, then don’t accept their education, so they have to learn German and get certified as nurses again. And at the same time, these measures actively hinder people who are already here to get jobs.
Absolute clown show. Don’t solve any problems, just spew resentment and do some symbolic bullshit that won’t help anyone.
