Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Muslim migrants prefer Germany because its welfare benefits are “quite high”

Sep 10, 2017 6:44 pm By Robert Spencer

Has it ever occurred to Thomas de Maizière that importing huge numbers of people who have no intention of working, but are there just to go on welfare, is madness? We have been told again and again that the migrants are coming to Europe to serve as a work force for an aging population. But the migrants aren’t working. They’re just serving as a new burden upon that aging population. This is not a sustainable situation.

“Migrants Prefer Germany Because Its Benefits ‘Are Quite High,’ Says Gov’t Minister,” by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, September 9, 2017:

German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière has said that his country’s generous welfare benefits act like a magnet for migrants, and called for a unification of standards throughout the European Union (EU) to better distribute new arrivals.

Since Germany offers migrants and refugees much more than other EU member states, it has become an attractive target for human smugglers, de Maizière said.

De Maizière told the Rheinische Post newspaper Saturday that Germany is the destination of choice for many migrants because in comparison with other European countries, its “procedures and reception conditions are generous” and “the benefits for refugees are quite high.”

“That’s part of the pull-factor to Germany,” he said….

When the minister released the figure of 800,000 migrants in August 2015, this sent a “signal” to prospective migrants and traffickers that Germany was willing to take in that many and this, in turn, acted as a “driver” of migration, he added.

De Maizière suggested that Hungary’s announcement that it would be building a border fence had the opposite deterrent effect, since migrants understood that Hungary would no longer be a viable alternative.

At the same time, regarding Hungary’s resistance to forcible relocation of migrants on its soil, de Maizière said it is intolerable “that an EU Member State does not comply with a judgment of the European Court of Justice.”

Another procedural area requiring greater uniformity in the EU is the legal question, de Maizière said. “With us, rejected asylum seekers can postpone their deportation through various legal avenues, much more than elsewhere,” he noted.

“Asylum processes and asylum-seeker benefits need to be more uniform in the EU than before. The acceptance rates are in some cases higher here than in other places and the social benefit level as well,” he said….

“We must reduce the number of refugees as a whole,” he said.

      Yeah, but the Germans who voted for MERKEL are FAR FROM MENSA.

    Oooooooh… we didn’t know that already!!

    So the SUPER SMART Germans imported ONE MILLION INDOLENT RAPISTS!

    Smart!

    Well, I guess that means the welfare benefits for the Muslim migrants are better now in Germany than they were for the Jews in Germany from 1933-1945.

      Oh, yes – Germans are paying off their “historic debts” – unfortunately, – and they SERIOUSLY cannot grasp this, – they picked the wrong people to pay it to.

        Well the Third Reich started the ball rolling by providing the Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini with a Villa confiscated from Jews.

    Mr. Spencer, has it ever occurred to you that PM Merkel may soon win the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize? Like former President Obama, himself a distinguished Nobel Laureate, this transformational German leader has a generous heart and beautiful soul.

    Kudos to the voters of Germany. Indeed, I believe that PM Merkel will be as revered in the coming era of multicultural Europe as was Emperor Constantine the Great (306–337 AD), long remembered as a saint in previous Christian Europe.

      She’s very generous with other people’s money.

        THE WOMAN has some sort of mental DISORDER ! Probably has something to do with being close to SOROS !!
        GERMANY is an ENIGMA though – that despite seeming to be crazy – people are about to vote this woman into power again ????

    • Jon Sobieski says

      Sep 10, 2017 at 9:52 pm

      You may be right about that. Merkel has four years to whitewash her disastrous leadership. It can be done!

    • John S. Obeda says

      Sep 11, 2017 at 5:26 pm

      Mr. Moshe, When the German people will wake up and see that they have lost their culture and freedom, their country and free speech, I would think that they will curse Merkel.

    • Carolyne says

      Winning a Nobel Prize is a worthless distinction since it was given to Barack Obama. It is a joke.

    Is this guy hard of memory or something?

    Perhaps the “magnet” was the Chancellors open invitation?
    Perhaps is she hadn’t gone against EU law by unilaterally opening the door to 1million young Muslim dudes, Germany might have a leg to stand on demanding Hungary obey.

    “We must reduce the number of refugees”
    Great idea chum, how about revoking the standing invite to all the worst that the eastern med has to offer?

    Wow, these people

  7. John Butler says

    Two points…….
    It appears that Germans will return Merkel to power again. What’s wrong with them ?
    Bullying tactics like attempting to force smart Hungary to accept Muslim invaders is a sure indicator of how the EU is shaping up. Hungary has suffered under supremacist evil before – Islamic invaders and then the Communists and they don’t want another evil yoke. Rather than a quarentor of peace in Europe the EU is in danger of inciting revolt and civil war.

    Merkel thought that the Muslims would be coming to Germany to work and help out. The Muslims knew that they were coming to collect the Jizyah and in return bring Sharia Law and the Dar-al-Islam to Germany.

    • Pete says

      Sep 11, 2017 at 8:42 am

      Merkel has known in advance what the rapeugees will do to Germany

      Hence the open gate to the mass horde/suicide
      It the premeditated murder of Deutschland

    We have been told again and again that the migrants are coming to Europe to serve as a work force for an aging population.

    Half right, the official line is that “desperate, traumatized REFUGEES” are coming and it would be inhumane to deny them. They carefully avoid the word “migrant”, let alone “illegal migrant”. Only if you can successfully disprove that claim without getting shouted down as a NAZi, they switch to “productive worker”. And if you disprove that, they swich right back to “refugee”.

    They never admit defeat, and they make sure the NAZI label sticks to you.

    Not only are the welfare benefits great, but the natives are a generation of bliss-ninnies, ripe for conquest.

    BEAR LAW
    In Canada it is against the law to leave any edible matter outside.
    Why?
    Bears to leave the forest to take it. They then become a danger to inhabitants.

    If nutrients (welfare) are made available….. life forms (parasites and predators) will arrive to absorb them

  15. John A. Marre says

    Sep 11, 2017 at 11:28 am

    The benefits are good, they don’t have to work, they are allowed (yes, I meant “allowed) to rape the women and plot how to kill the people whose money they are living off of.

    So they can sucks more blood out of infidels.
