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

No $hit Sherlock! And yet you dumb Krauts still re-elected Frau Farbissina again.
Heil Hitler you dummies, you are a notch dumber than the Brits, but still ahead of the Frogs and the Belch, not that it really matters any more.

A German told me he welcomes the invaders, uh, immigrants and Germany wouldn’t never change from being Germany. He’s been in denial of all the terrorism the past couple of years. Either claiming it never happened or it didn’t matter as it was across the country from him. I remind him the entire country of Germany is half the size of Texas.

Merkel has moved hundreds into small rural areas who’s infrastructure can’t handle the influx. Reminiscent of the Dems redrawing district lines for votes.

In the last hundred years they have screwed up four times big time. Please someone hack Merkel’s Swiss bank account.

In general, having watched this from within Germany for four years, most all of these refugees/migrants are selecting or moving into highly urbanized towns (places over 100,000).

Chief reasons? Job market, the idea of ‘civilization’, attraction to urbanization, and more opportunity. Very few end up in remote villages or small towns of 1,000 people.

You can go out into the rural areas of Germany before this issue started up and find serious problems with populations dwindling and no one wanting to live in farming regions. You can find small towns now in Germany where the local grocery shut down....no bank....no pharmacy...and kids traveling by bus for forty minutes to reach some school.

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

Sounds like the Germans ought to leave Germany and become refugees if they want to save their lives.

I am a student of German History, and would like to know to what four times you are referring.

Thanks and

Is this God’s revenge for the Holocaust?

The Germans felt so guilty about The Holocaust, that they decided to import millions of Muslims, that hate the Jews even more than the Nazis did.

Lewiston, ME, Rutland, VT and Nashua, NH come to mind. However, I will admit the biggest threat is the nominally American movement from MA and NY. At least their is hope over time for the foreigners.

I'm sure I'm not the first to observe something to the effect that it's not Syrians' fault Germans don't have any German children.

I’d hardly call them “quaint New England villages” and I’m afraid the Obama administration cannot be totally blamed for the immigration problem-——it’s been going on for years.

(The Syrian influx is all due to Obama,though)

Maybe the Poles will be nice and let them settle in Silesia and Pomerania.

All true. After Attila the Obama marched through America for 8 horrific years there’s not much left untouched or “quaint”, And his work continues on. But the origins go back further to some wonderful earlier presidents. Little Somalia in Minneapolis started much earlier. A pox upon them all.
