Angela Merkel admits immigration policy hurt party in elections

[UK2K]

Surprised I didn't see this on here...

Brexit won't happen? Check.
Germany is welcoming to immigrants? Check.

[QUOTE](CNN)Could the success of a far-right party in Germany's local elections be a harbinger of things to come?

The Sunday contest was viewed by many as a referendum on Chancellor Angela Merkel's immigration policy, and her party suffered a significant defeat on her home turf.

Merkel admitted Monday that decisions on immigration played a role in the result, but insisted that she has made the right ones.

I'm all for Europe and the west in general making a shift to the right, but some of the overstepping by the left is pushing things in a bad direction. Like the guy that's probably going to be elected in Austria appears to be an actual nazi sympathizer. That's f*cking terrible for everybody.

I'm all for throwing out the leftist idiots and voting right wing parties, as in, individual liberty pro property rights parties. Not socialist ethno-nationalist parties.

These things come in cycles. Liberalism will push the boundaries of common sense until there is an overreaction of the right.

I know that American style conservatism doesn't exist in continental Europe. That brand of conservatism is uniquely Anglo and only exists in the English speaking world. The politics of continental Europe have never had a common law understanding of the rule of law. I've always viewed Britain and the British empire as a separate civilization from Europe. I think it's an accurate view.

Its great that some heads of state are more worried about doing the right thing rather than their own popularity

Lol, you fool. Popularity was the whole idea. :hammerhead:

Western politicians think that the next migration waves will be Muslim immigrants and they want to capture those voting blocks the way the Democrats in America locked up the black vote. Merkel thought that she would lock up the Muslim vote with her stupid "refuges welcome" move. She just didn't realize that she would completely lose the German vote.

It's the same reason that the Democrats pander so hard to Muslims and won't acknowledge Islamic terrorism. They want to lock up the Muslim vote as a democrat voting block.

IT'S FUNNY ISN'T IT?

You are on the wrong side of history, bro.

Just like the lefties in America with their "Leave Hitler Alone" protests in the 1930s.:hammerhead:

50 years from now, Norwegian social studies books will be writing about Norwegians like you in shame, the same way our American social studies books write about the pro-slavery Southerners and American Hitler supporters.

Politicians Admit Migrants To Cost Germany More Than 30 Billion Euros A Year (http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/08/04/migrants-cost-30-billion-year/)

Politicians have admitted that Germany’s recent migrant influx is set to cost taxpayers at least €30 billion a year. In addition to forking out for the day-to-day living costs and of more migrants, the German government will sharply increase spending on its police and security services after an unprecedented influx of migrants entered the country.
Politicians have admitted that Germany’s recent migrant influx is set to cost taxpayers at least €30 billion a year. In addition to forking out for the day-to-day living costs and of more migrants, the German government will sharply increase spending on its police and security services after an unprecedented influx of migrants entered the country.

A German newspaper has quizzed various departments on how much taxpayers’ money they expect to spend on the excess of a million migrants who arrived in the country last year.

Integration will be the government’s biggest outlay, accounting for two thirds of the total €30 billion figure. Teachers, day care centres, schools, language courses, and housing all come under this umbrella.

The Federation of German Towns and Municipalities estimate that the cost of providing these services to migrants will cost taxpayers €20 billion a year. It warned that by 2018 there would also be €2.6 billion additional costs for accommodation.

The Federation’s CEO, Gerd Landsberg, told Bild: “The integration of refugees is a Herculean task, which in particular challenges the municipalities”.

Among the expenses that municipalities are splashing out for are pupil places at €1.625 million a year, creche and daycare centre places at €400 million a year, schoolteachers at €300,000 a year minimum and other educators, at a minimum cost of €972 million per year.

In addition to this, the Federation says they must pay €35 an hour to a required 350,000 German language teachers, €240 million per year plus for social workers, and that school psychologists are going to cost €40 million a year. As well as this, a planned 75,000 new homes for migrants will cost taxpayers a minimum of €1.125 billion in subsidies.

Eva Lohse, the president of the German Association of Cities, called on the federal government to release funds for migrants quickly, as only then can regions adequately fund integration measures. Ludwigshafen, where Ms. Lohse is mayor, currently has a severe shortage of school psychologists, interpreters, social workers, and daycare educators.

The association president insisted, however, that integration of migrants will help Germany “when language classes, childcare and school mediation are successful in the labour market and housing”.

Beyond integration, the migrant crisis will significantly raise the country’s security bill. The estimated minimum requirement of 20,000 new police officers is set to cost taxpayers a minimum of €1.3 billion per year, a figure expected to have an “upward trend”. In addition to this, 11,000 new positions are to be created at the federal police level.

Member of Parliament (MP) Eckhardt Rehberg told Bild: “We have already alloted a billion euros for a programme for internal security and the spending in this area will increase in 2020 to €2.6 billion.”

Bild reported that Germany’s budget for internal security is set to climb until 2017 by at least a third, from €6.1 billion to €8.3 billion. Last year, Mr. Rehberg suggested the country introduce compulsory service, where Germans would serve migrants.

Social Democratic Party MP Johannes Kahns spoke to Bild about the huge sums the government expects to spend on migrants.

He said: “It is abundantly clear that this mammoth task costs money. But to save now would make things much more expensive in the end. ”



Where will they get the money to pay for all of this every year? Especially without the UK subsidizing their welfare program.
