Flooded With Migrants, Germany Struggles to Integrate Them
New York Times ^ | April 27, 2016 | ALISON SMALE

...

[O]fficials now warn that, even with special courses and attention, many of those staying will lack suitable labor skills — a shift from initial buoyant predictions from industry, which needs workers.

Most of the migrants come from countries where schooling lasts years less than in Germany, said Karl Brenke, a labor and migration expert at the German Institute for Economic Research. Qualifications are difficult to compare. Already, there are 14 people competing for a basic unskilled job, Mr. Brenke said.

He provided figures showing that the number of employable people who are jobless and living on welfare had swelled to 280,000 in December from 116,000 in early 2011. Half are Syrians.

Mr. Brenke said he saw a danger that migrants could remain unemployed for years. Even Mr. Weise admits that employment could prove tough. Seventy percent of asylum applicants in 2015, he said, were under 30. Ten percent could find work within a year, and 50 percent within five years.

Even without accommodating the North Africans, he said, it is already clear that “the refugees are not the work force that the German economy needs.”

“You can’t integrate nor assimilate denizens from a sub-human 4th century culture.”

Actually, many of the areas they are from were quite civilized in the 4th century.

It was the rise of Mad Mo in the early 7th century and his systematic beheading of intellectuals that led to the inbred mess we see today

It is a lot easier keeping raccoons out of the basement than even entertaining the illusion that you can somehow live with them.

The average IQ in Syria is 83...

This isn't going to end well for Germans.

They didn’t come to work. They came to invade Europe and they expect to collect welfare payments in the process.


If the US were not still funding Germany’s military they would not have had so much money to throw at their welfare system and maybe would have been more judicial in their decision to allow a lot of invaders who plan to plunder that system.

“You can’t ‘integrate’ people that wipe their butts with their fingers. At best, you might teach them to was their hands, but that’s not a done deal in any manner.

You can’t integrate nor assimilate denizens from a sub-human 4th century culture.”

With a mean avg I.Q, of 83. Good luck with that!

A few thoughts on just how persons get integrated into a demanding system that requires work ethics. I am speaking from old country experience and then migrating to Canada in 1955.

One goes to school where lateness is frowned on. Where submission to the authority figure is absolutely demanded. This is a preparation of sorts. Then - if not to higher education, to work. There are demands in Ontario, and certainly in Michigan, at a minimum or slightly better wage level. Keeping to time, performing the work demanded. The criticisms of the authority. For a person to maintain this for years, demands stamina. Few give working people credit for doing this.

I read a book on vagrancy in England by Philip O'Connor. He said that once a man tastes "freedom" from work and lives " on the road". He rarely gets back to work. In short, the shock to the system of the grind of work is too much. The new immigrants are utterly unprepared for the work ethic. They are like a dead weight on society. Ontario's answer is (One) pay so little it does not beat working. (Two) Have "work fare". Insistence on work fare, which means tasks set out for them to perform.

All in all a depressing situation- for those that toil.

I should clarify the methods are used for ordinary Canadians on social assistance (Welfare)’ Ie: Low monthly payments and compulsory menial tasks (work fare). The new “refugees” get over double the welfare rate and free accommodation for two years.
It is thought that in two years they will fit in perfectly with the rest of we peasants- oops! persons.

Hey, fraulines. The easiest way to “integrate” them is to have sex with them and spawn their children.

There is hardly any coherence in the skill set taught at an Islamic School / Madras and the skill set for a minimal job in a First World economy. Reminds me of the old truism about teaching a pig to sing. However in this case the frustration can lead to suicide belts and other bad things!
