The German government proposed measures Wednesday to tighten migration regulations for citizens from elsewhere in the European Union amid accusations of welfare abuse by poor immigrants from Bulgaria and Romania.
Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Cabinet was proposing a six-month limit on EU citizens staying in the country, which is Europe’s biggest economy, without a job. In addition, he said EU citizens suspected of having abused Germany’s welfare system can be banned from re-entering the country.
“Freedom of movement is an essential part of the European integration, which we fully stand behind,” de Maiziere told reporters in Berlin. “However, that does not mean we should close our eyes to the problems that come with it.” …

The immigration they need to restrict is that from muslim countries. No cancerous immigrants should be allowed.
Well, that’s not the focus here.
Auslander Raus!
Well, I figured the “welfare abuse” comment should be applied to muslims too. Lord knows it is abused to the max here in the US. And not just by muslims.
If they want to pretend that the problem is European immigrants only then so be it, as long as the new rules apply to the millions of third world welfare leaches as well.
People are going to get an ugly surprise here in the States when they realize Europe has more of a survival instinct than this nation does.
Yes, and things like Schengen are designed to provoke it.
The EU should be abolished. Germany is carrying most of Europe on its back.
That’s not quite true. You don’t go from being the “sick man of Europe” to allegedly carrying the continent on your back within less than a decade.
And it’s been Germany pushing hard for the EU more than any other state. Thatcher pointed this fact out before she was ousted by pro-EU factions in her own country.
Germany has the best, most diversified economy in the EU, and things have changed since the Thatcher days. I have family there & I can tell you that the German people have had it with immigration & diversity.
The German people do not have control of what their government does to them. The consequences of Schengen were designed to provoke this response among them and in all the other countries that agreed to it.
Furthermore, Germany is a social market economy (not a free market), and has been playing beggar thy neighbor with the rest of the EU to get where it is. The treaties of the EU impose the social market economy on the member states, and the euro’s one-size-fits-all interest rate scheme was deliberately designed to favor the German bloc. Therefore much of what Thatcher predicted has come true.
The German people like us in the U.S. have little control of what the government does....same goes for all the Western nations. My point is the German people want change, and I suspect they will get more of the change that they want than we do here.
No, this is just the application to migrants from other EU countries, where no recourse is currently available.
