Claim: Mass Migration Will Not Help Solve Skilled Worker Shortage

Head of the Federal Agency for Labor, Frank-Jürgen Weise has said that new migrants and asylum seekers have little chance of filling Germany’s skilled worker problem because very few of them meet the needed qualifications. Frank-Jürgen Weise has had a long career in the German government and is now retiring at the age of 65. Mr Weise, who also briefly managed the Federal Agency for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) admits that despite the unemployment rate being lower than when he first took office as head of the Labour agency, migrants will not be able to meet the increasing demand for skilled work in Germany RP Online reports.

Speaking to the site Weise said, “ only ten to 15 percent of the refugees are well qualified and find a job within a year. A large group has practical experience, but no recognised training.” He added, “And 20 percent have neither school nor vocational training. This makes it clear: refugees are not an answer to our professional deficit.”

I thought robots were going to take all our jobs next year and so we had to hurry up and give everyone a guaranteed income!

I know I’m shocked to learn this.

Wonder if this man really believes that Angela let all of these rapefugees in to help with the labor shortage.

IT is too bad the West is so historically illiterate.

What we have going are Barbarian Migrations.

These people are going to destroy the West - and the governments of the West are going to help them.

We should be ordering these people to turn back, and destroying them man, woman, and child if do not do so.

Major problem in most of the developed world is shrinking population. If the young Germans are not having babies, there are not enough children to educate for the jobs.

“A few interracial marriages perhaps.”

All those in my area seem to be in the restaurant business and I seldom see one of them outside the business. I don’t think many of them marry outside their own community. They speak Chinese among themselves, even at work, only switching to English to speak with customers.

Disability is a troubling subject. I have seen many posts on FR saying that almost nobody should be on disability and the “bad back” story has been a cliche forever. Unfortunately, as someone who has had many episodes of back problems, I am recovering right now from a fall ten days ago which gave me a compressive fracture of the first lumbar vertebrae, I know that back trouble can come and go in a way that those who have not experienced it will never understand. A person could be literally crying from pain one day and moving like a sixteen year old a couple of days later. A sit down job is not always the answer either, sometimes I have had to rise from a chair to get some relief. My father was a master carpenter and when he could no longer work because of pain he was initially denied disability benefits and told that he could get a sit down job even though he was standing to talk to the caseworker. He told them over and over that he could lie on a bed and he could stand and walk but sitting was excruciating and moving from standing to lying down or back up again was excruciating. He finally was approved and two decades later had recovered to the point of being able to do anything he wanted to do, no one could figure out how he recovered, he attributed it to eating, “any plant that I didn’t know would kill me.” He had always taken great pride, not only in the beautiful carpentry he could do but also in the fact that he could do the kind of manual farm labor that most cannot even imagine and do it all day in the blazing sun. Many times after he went on disability I watched him struggle to rise to his feet with teeth gritted and a look of agony but he would not give up, once on his feet he would shuffe slowly out the door and walk as far as he could. Somehow, over time, he recovered to the point that when he turned eighty he was moving like a healthy forty year old.

>
National governments should care about the people of their nation.
Elected officials should care about the people who elected them.

Stop under-cutting wages by importing cheap labor.
Demand good schools which give people skills and a work ethic.

Build your people and your people will build your nation.

Importing problems is no solution.
>

A lot of should’a/would’a/could’a but, as our Founders’ realized, govt shouldn’t/won’t/can’t and, hence, be kept OUT and minimal as possible.

I haven’t found many, if any, instances of where govt SOLVED any ‘problem’ that 1) wasn’t of their making 2) didn’t exacerbate\create other problems/issues.

We need to stop all the man hating and get back to creating beautiful American families again. The purpose of all the man-hating is to cripple the family.

Look people: the Chinese could be 15% of the Philipino population. Still low profile. They could be 33% of the San Francisco population. Hard to hide but they don’t vote. Has to do with jury duty taken from the voter rolls. It leaves the poofs in total control of city government.

duh

Yeah, my first reaction. It doesn't matter what skin color or race, if you import illiterates, figuring they'll get jobs and pay welfare taxes, then it's time for a Reality Check. When I first read Europe was taking them in under that premise, I did the same "duh", knowing they'd all be ON welfare, not paying into it.

And then we have the refusal to assimilate, with the expectation that the people of their host nation would convert to THEIR theology.
