GERMAN ASYLUM SEEKERS REFUSE TO WORK INSISTING 'WE ARE MERKEL'S GUESTS'

This is the kind of news item that has Angela Merkel in political trouble:

According to mayor Bernd Pohlers of the eastern town of Saxony Waldenburg, the asylum seekers refused to accept the work that was offered to them after they arrived in the country.

The local council spent £600 arranging for the men to have uniforms but were stunned when they were told they would not complete it because they were “guests of Angela Merkel”.

While asylum seekers are not allowed to work under immigration rules within the EU, they are allowed to do voluntary work.

However officials in the district of Zwickau came up with a plan to help encourage those without employment to get back to work and to help them become more accepted within the local community.

In order to do this they created voluntary jobs which included a nominal payment of £18 for 20 hours work.

But all of the male residents of the local refugee accommodation who initially agreed to get involved in the charitable activities quit after discovering there was a minimum wage £7.30 (€8.50) in Germany.

The men had been picked up and offered transportation from their paid-for housing where they are also given food and then dropped home.

Mayor Pohlers said: “It was subsequently argued by these people that they are guests of Mrs. Merkel and guests do not have to work.

The left prevents the refugees from working so they will get hooked on welfare.

If I knew I would get free housing, free food, free medical care, free travel, and all that fun stuff I wouldn’t work either. Why???

The muslims view all this free stuff as an indication that germans recognize that their religion is superior.

That’s exactly as they perceive it.

Before long, they will demand round trip tickets for the pilgrimage to Mecca.

As the song said: "A time for peace, a time for war"

Unfortunately, this is a time for war.

So I’m trying to understand here... Because EU rules forbid asylum seekers to work, the local council wants them to work for free?

Myself, I’d be glad to give back to those who are giving me everything. But some people may object to being slaves...

Perfect Democrats. No wonder Obama and Clinton want t bring more of them to America. “Free stuff” paid for by hard working, honest people. Greed and envy are rampant throughout the western world.

The left views the USA and Europe as colonialists who are rich at the expense of the 3rd world countries who they have exploited. To the left this is just redistribution.

“While asylum seekers are not allowed to work under immigration rules within the EU”

Just when I thought the refugee thing could t get any worse I read this.....

So they are flooding Europe with refugees AND they are not allowed to work?! Seriously?!

Europe is lost, time to take the western hemisphere, then post up and let the rest of the world go to hell.
