ANGELA Merkel’s failed migrant policy will cost Germany and the EU a record £37bn by the end of 2017, it has been revealed.
It is fair to state that many citizens of Germany and the EU do not have a high disposable income, and cannot afford adequate dental and medical care or prescriptions for their families; yet Angela Merkel and her leftist bureaucratic colleagues clearly do not care about their well-being. The elites’ failing of the public economically was only one aspect of the migrant chaos; the citizenry has also been exposed to crime surges, sex assaults, and jihadist attacks, as well as threats of much more to come. Stemming the influx of Muslim refugees has nothing to do with lack of compassion for their suffering, contrary to leftist leaders’ adamant claims; it has everything to do with homeland security and stability.
“The cost of Merkel’s refugee crisis: Germany to spend £37BN to fix migrant chaos”, by Siobhan McFadyen, Express, January 31, 2017:
ANGELA Merkel’s failed migrant policy will cost Germany and the EU a record £37bn by the end of 2017, it has been revealed.
And the Chancellor’s struggling administration has unveiled a raft of new laws in parliament to help cope with the escalating European migrant crisis.
A report for The Federal Ministry of Finance revealed taxpayers will be spending £37bn (€43bn) for 2016 and 2017 migrant budget to “meet the challenges of the nation-state”.
The asylum and refugee policy from the federal budget perspective report said it was necessary to put Germany “on a good path”.
Bundestag politicians have instigated an ‘Asylum Procedures Acceleration Act’ in a bid to speed up the process of deportation.
The German parliament has banned family reunion for two years, meaning battles to bring relatives of migrants over to Germany, as currently happens in Britain, will no longer take place.
And they have introduced a new law to allow for the easier expulsion of offenders in the case of asylum seekers suspected of committing a criminal offence.
Mrs Merkel’s Government says this law will allow them to identify “strange behaviour of foreigners” that could put them at risk of expulsion.
And they are set to digitise their immigration protocols as they implement an ‘introduction of proof of arrival’ scheme to identify those who have no paperwork.
The Federal Ministry of Finance will also sanction payments for an integration package of £1.72bn (€2bn) annually from 2016 to 2018…..

I have read that, for the cost of every refugee that is settled in the West, a dozen refugees could be settled and cared for in the Mideast.Which approach is truly more compassionate for everyone?
pugmomma says
I think they have something else in mind.
Bruce Wayne says
hang Merkel and then we can talk. Treason is about the worst thing a person can do..Betraying your own country and she went all the way
Don Davenport says
Oh well, I guess a small price to pay for “diversity” and “cultural enrichment.”

@ Don Davenport
“Oh well, I guess a small price to pay for “diversity” and “cultural enrichment.” ”
That’s how these liberals view things. (Especially since the ones in power don’t actually have to deal with any of the real world consequences!)
Custos Custodum says
NO, this is not how Leftist totalitarian “view things.” How they actually “view things” is that Muslimization of one country after another serves to intimidate, humiliate and dissipate the power and confidence of the indigenous populations, thus opening the door to a totalitarian regime of the intellectuals, replete with 24/7, total surveillance, arbitrary government terror, death camps, etc.
Less well understood in comfortable Western countries is the vast extent of grotesque sexual exploitation that has been and is an inseparable feature of totalitarian rule since time immemorial. Muslim rape campaigns are a feature, not a bug.
vivienne Havalant-levijonhufvud says
I couldn’t post to Google+ has Merkel been interfering here as well. A pity I am not the Government accountant. Before a single migrant was let in I would have produced a profit and loss account in real terms. This stupid woman has left native German families homeless, lacking in health care, and Pensioners as in Sweden have had pensions cut and for what a bunch of rapists and disease carriers. Dump the lot of them.
Custos Custodum says
Why do you still insist on excusing the most powerful woman in Europe as “stupid”?
Millions of immigrants do not flood into Europe as a result of a casual “oops” moment.
Merkel WANTED AND NEEDED mass Muslimization, just as Woodrow Wilson from the very first wanted and needed a war.
Christianblood says
And the US taxpayers paid trillions on unnecessary and destructive regime-change wars in the ME. Let us hope Donald Trump brings that to a complete end.
Angemon says
The same Trump that your go-to news source is bashing? The cognitive dissonance here is staggering…
Carolyne says
I believe the refugee problem and the reason the Middle East if in flames can be laid solely at the feet of Jimmy Carter. He forced the Shah to leave Iran and made it possible for the Ayatollah Khomeini to come back to Iran from Paris and take over, thereby starting the Muslim aggression. Of course, both George Bushes made it worse by their invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, which stabilized the whole of the area and then Obama, a Muslim himself, withdrew the troops from Iraq before it had been restabilized. The Shah of Iran was a dictator, but he kept the Muslim extremists in line, women were allowed to live as humans. Saddam Hussein was a dictator, but he, too, kept the extremists in line. The Taliban were in charge of Afghanistan, but that was none of our business. Then came Albright and Yugoslavia and Hillary Clinton and Libya. It is true that Kadafy had once been an exporter of terrorists, but he had settled down and posed no threat to the US. It is the West’s meddling which has caused the present situation. Obama armed the Syrian rebels who turned out to be ISIS terrorists. John McCain made it worse when he insisted the Syrian rebels were the good guys. He said he knew this because he had lunch with them and they told him so.
What is wrong with our politicians? Now we have President Trump who is willing and able to deal with these problems, but the left and their stooges are about to start a US civil war because they are ignorant savages.

total war against the german people is expensive.
Angemon says
Too little, too late, and it reeks of election year shenanigans.
DFD says
You got that right. That’s all it is, electioneering. Phoney baloney!
DFD says
PS: NOT Phoney baloney but DECEPTION!
Carolyne says
All Muslims exhibit “Strange behavior.” What is strange to us is common in their culture.
pdxnag says
But to expel the Islamists and face their scorched earth retreat would be priceless.
Gwen says
TB and HIV is on the increase, German children had their vaccinations delayed because stocks ran out and now German children are on 6-12 month waiting lists to get places in kindergarten, schools have increased class sizes and have less subject choice… the costs are huge in so many ways. And there is no government transparency or accountability. Just anecdotes and low-brow news reporting the government poo-poos as insignificant and racist.
Custos Custodum says
Al Capone’s operation similarly failed to provide “transparency or accountability.”
don says
Ever watched the film Harvey.He’s an imaginary rabbit but I have more faith in him than Merkel. Now what does that say to all the PC pink tinted glasses brigade?
Cameron says
Any migrant/immigrant/refugee/asylum seeker or whatever that breaks the law or makes a horrible nuisance of themselves should be resettled in a penal colony in Syria where such people might actually be useful by rebuilding Syrian cities caused by the chaos of Islamic warfare.
kessler says
I’d love to post this story in a forum where I am active – but Express always gets dismissed as “racist” and their stories fake. Does anyone know of an original German source? Surely this is big news in Germany
Guest says
Go to PI: http://www.pi-news.net/ They post important German, Austrian and Swiss news (from MSM), and in the comments under each article, if you ctrl+f for htt, you will find that people post links to many more articles.
Also, https://crimekalender.wordpress.com/ has been keeping tabs on migrant crime for a while now, with media sources linked.
I’m trying to place translations of some of these articles here (with links for German speakers or if people want to use their translation function) and in Gates of Vienna, because people in English speaking countries need to see what is happening in Europe and decide whether that is what they want.
Kessler, if you can translate, please do. And we need someone to translate from Swedish, too.
PS, for any critics reading this: in case you think migrants are ‘no more criminal’ than Germans, that is false. http://www.tichyseinblick.de/gastbeitrag/sind-migranten-ebenso-kriminell-wie-deutsche/:
The BKA (Federal Criminal Police Office of Germany) published statistics supposedly showing that migrants commit a similar number of crimes to Germans. But they failed to apply the numbers to the relative population sizes. At Tichyseinblick this analysis has been done and proves that not-Germans commit more crimes (not even counting immigration legal status crimes).
Also, the BKA statistics don’t separate out recent migrants but simply all ‘not-Germans’. So that would include well-behaved Vietnamese, English, Japanese immigrants etc.
The outcome: “If one compares the number of criminals within a group to the total size of that group, again a totally different outcome appears: Not-Germans act criminally about three times as often as Germans and, in the socially sensitive area of the sexual crimes of rape and sexual assault, commit about four times as many crimes.”
Now, consider that the BKA stats include ‘Not-Germans’ who do not come from misogynist cultures, and you can see why German women now specifically do and should fear middle-eastern immigrants/refugees/asylum seekers.

WHO? WHOM? Let go of the passive voice (“gets dismissed”) and face up to the fact that Mark Zuckerberg personally initiated the building of this massive censorship machine.
Facebook’s censorship practice is a gross abuse of Facebook’s monopoly position in the market. Note that Zuckerberg has had friendly coordination meetings with fellow oligarch Carlos Slim of Mexico to make the world safer for power-hungry billionaires.
Alien Republican says
That’s one aspect probably most of the current “muslim ban” protesters don’t get. The vast majority of these pseudo-refugees live on tax-payers money and probably for decades.
Let Google or FB hire them.
mortimer says
The Germans were not consulted on the 1 million economic refugees. They will be consulted in elections after the fact.
It seems many Leftarded Germans still believe in the genocidal suicide of Germany. Unless they wake up to the jihad threat, Germany is finished.
kessler says
“It seems many Leftarded Germans still believe in the genocidal suicide of Germany. Unless they wake up to the jihad threat, Germany is finished.”
It’s the young vs old votes. Like I said many time, as the facebook generation reaches voting age, the left will gain traction. All resistance towards this hijra and stealth jihad is upheld by middle aged/older Germans who are not brainwashed by the leftist educational system. Look at pictures of the PEGIDA vs pro-migrant – it tells it all. It’s people with life experience vs kids with no sense of reality.
It’s the same in all Western countries, and it’s the main reason why I think this is a lost battle. You simply cannot reason with these people. The brainwash is too entrenched.
Anne Smith says
Same in UK. The communists/socialists have infiltrated the teaching establishments to such a degree that it is impossible to obtain a teaching job if you do not subscribe to the fashionable left wing agenda.
They have successfully brainwashed our children to believe that looking after one’s own people ahead of incomers is racist. The young people are absolutely clueless about how the world really works. Lousy education and an inability to think are their hallmarks.
kessler says
First of all – are refugees supposed to be integrated? Isn’t the status as a refugee such that they are residing in their host country on a temporary basis until it’s safe to return to their home country? As for Syria – it will never be safe again for non-sunni Muslims, but when Assad is gone and Sharia supremacy reigns, all the Sunni muslims can be safely returned. It will be peaceful in the way Saudi Arabia is peaceful.
Integration is only a part of the the cost. How about increased security and surveillance?
In any case, the financial aspect is not the main issue. An ideology inherently incompatible and in an perpetual war with Western values has been invited in by a politician seeking civilisational suicide.
Keep an eye on this and you will never be in doubt about the severity of the problem:

Don McKellar says
So Merkel committed $46,000,000,000 for a self-inflicted war on Germany and the EU that never had to happen. And she hasn’t been arrested yet? How much damage and theft do you have to commit before a politician in Germany is pulled out of office and thrown in prison? There seems to be no limit. She is second only to Hitler.
marina says
And yet they compare Trump to Hitler who is doing just the opposite of what this mad Merkel is doing.
marina says
It is too late. How about the innocent German women and children who have been raped. How are you going to undo their suffering Merkel bitch?
Charli Main says
Send the bill to Saudi Arabia. Let the Muslims pay for the upkeep of their Muslim brothers in Europe.
brane pilot says
The stream of ‘refugees’ into Europe consists of over 90% military age young men.
There has never been a ‘refugee’ stream like this in the entire history of the world.
Invading armies, yes. Refuge streams? Never. Not once in documented human history.
This is just another creeping re-definition of language that serves to erode the ability of the West to defend its territory and its institutions.
Anne Smith says
Most of them are evading their responsibilities in their own countries. Good thing our young men didn’t run away when the Germans foisted yet another world war on us.
One wonder sometimes why we bothered to fight WWII as the Germans and Merkel have conquered us through the EU. She is even more successful (and as dreadful) as Hitler.
Singh the Sikh says
Look at that! As if rape, murder, child molestation and terrorist attacks by ‘refugees’ wasn’t enough, Germany is saddled with a 43 billion bill. Merkel has certainly done wonders for Germany. And in such a short period too!
Richard Paulsen says
Expensive carnations and mourning clothes.
frederick King says
Such a small price to pay for diversity.
steve says
So, pay the 46 trillion…that should clear the debt to the Jewish people slaughtered and ROBBED by the Germans and their allies the French who supplied and ran the trains to Auschwitz…..
Big Ben says
Send the bill to Soros. He’s loaded. Time to make him pay for what he is doing.
Anyone with me???
