I’m not sure that is the reason (a shortage of workers); the countries of southern Europe have plenty of idle workers, but Germany wants people who speak German and have a useful skill (neither of which applies to these “refugees”).
Rapefugees bump.
I am telling you what the man just said. He said Europe especially Germany opened their borders to get more workers. But as far as speaking the language is concerned. Try going to Silicon Valley and see how many speak English as a first language. English did not stop the Poles, Russians, Koreans, and Chinese from coming to America.
As far as Spanish and Greek unemployment is concerned, while a few are traveling to Germany. Its actually easier to get immigrants than it is to get folks who have a dole to fall back on. By the same token, America has 16% unemployment in the African American community yet they are not filling vacancies in Silicon Valley. However, a Chinese who knows no English does take the job.
