Had a similar discussion with a lib recently. I was stunned to hear her say socialism has just never been done right.. lol. I half expected it to come out; but, not so clearly stated. Usually it's a little couched in my experience.
Ehm, definitelynotaliberal spoke of Muslims, I think - not of Germans. :)
I´m 100% German.
About as easy as sending our Hispanic "guest workers" back home.
Rummy was right, old Europe is going, period. New Europe, consisting, primarily of the former Soviet bloc, will move forward, adopt capitalism and Sh*t-can all this PC crap - you don't like it? then get the hell out! We may be able to learn something from these new democracies, but first we have to deport the anti American, lefty democrats and announce to all and sundry, 'if you don't like it here, get the fu*k out! Don't try to change us, 'cos we like it the way it is!
Of course they can. It is a matter of making it uncomfortable for them. They need the backbone to do it. So does France for that matter.
However, in California we have a similar problem with illegal aliens who plop themselves on the welfare roles, and camp. Day working and of course paying no taxes. Sorry I equate the same.
They are here illegally, and "DO NOT BELONG HERE" check out this website: these are some of their intentions for us.

That's always their argument. Communism/Socialism didn't succeed because competition from capitalism killed it.
The WHOLE WORLD is losing their best and brightest to us.
Whether it's German students, Mexican workers, or even French cooks, only the cream of the crop has the self motivation to get here.
But why would they want to come here? I thought all the good paying jobs were being outsourced to Asia? < /sarcasm>
I had to fix your sentence. The USA's biggest strength until the current generation was our immigration policies which were geared to improve the USA. The current generation has just thrown open the gates and let in poverty, disease, crime and balkinization.
Is he a socialist?
He is an engineer. He can make more money and pay less in taxes with a better job in the US.
I met a couple of German civilians in Iraq who were happy to be working.
My strategic management professor last semester was an immigrant from Germany. He was in his early 30s, spoke English well, and strongly believed in free market economics. He was an excellent professor. His family owns a small business back in Germany, and the stories he told us about their labor laws.. sheesh! :P
I met a girl from Germany a few years ago. She was blown away when she walked into a store and looked at greeting cards. In Germany she would have been lucky to find 4 or 5 cards for sale. Instead she found hundreds of cards on sale.
The Germans also have laws forcing businesses to operate on limited hours. This means that you can't run to the store after work to pick up a quart of milk. Everyone has to go shopping within a few hours on Saturdays.
But it's not just limited to Germany and France, roughly half of the students in my MBA class in Monaco were Scandinavians fleeing the socialist restrictions on entrepreneurship there. Most of them wanted desperately to come to America.
Europe's loss is our gain as we import hard-working, industrious entrepreneurs while they, for the most part, import third-worlders who seek nothing more than life on the dole...
Socialism - it always promises riches but ends in bankruptcy.
Not until economic circumstances reach catastrophic levels will the German people put down the addictive narcotic of socialism.
