German Towns Filled With Refugees Ask, ‘Who Is Integrating Whom?’

SALZGITTER, Germany—Late this summer, Nadine Langer took her six-year old to her first day at school. The girl was one of two German children in her class, she said, amid 20, mostly Syrian, refugees.

“I am not against foreigners,” said Ms. Langer, 41. “But there is a point where we have to wonder who is integrating whom.”

Germany’s 2015 refugee crisis has largely disappeared from the headlines. But in this and other midsize towns, it is continuing to unfold, putting communities under stress, pressuring local coffers and feeding concerns about safety, jobs and the quality of education.

Some 140,000 asylum seekers have entered Germany so far this year—a sharp drop from the 1.2 million who arrived in the past two years. But in places such as Salzgitter there is a sense that the government, having housed and fed the newcomers, is failing in the longer-term effort to integrate them in German society

The real problem is it simplifies things for those moving the refugees in to have them all in one place. But if the intent is to make them permanent & integrated into society, then they should be distributing where they are alone in a sea of indigenous citizens.

Move them away from each other. Or don’t let them in at all.

And the German government is dead set against homeschooling: You VILL assimilate!

I can’t believe Merkel didn’t get into huge amounts of trouble, both with the Germans and the other Schelegen nations, for doing that. That was one of the reasons they didn’t want to let Turkey into the EU...

Subjecting that little 6 year old German girl to that is criminal.

Islam never integrates into any society or host nation...it is not there to do so rather to conquer by immigration and subvert the host nations government. That agenda is not going to change.

You can count on the Germans to make a monumental strategic blunder about once every generation.

They’re actually both symptoms of the same problem — where Germans have an unhealthy fixation on giving power to the state.

You mean like in Minneapolis and Dearborn for example? Or the formerly quaint New England and mid west villages thaut Obama ruined?

Put them strictly in the big cities which are alredy pre-ruined.

I’ve spent time in Salzgitter-Bad, an archtypical small German town near the Harz Mountains and yet close enough to Hanover to enjoy some tourist trade. Sad to think they’ve ruined it.
