The German government wants to stop citizens of other EU countries, particularly from eastern Europe, from moving to Germany just for its benefits.

Government sources told DPA that the German cabinet was in agreement about approving a proposed law to prevent EU citizens from countries outside Germany from claiming welfare benefits during their first five years in the country. […]

Hartz IV was introduced in 2003 as a base social welfare payment available to all German citizens, regardless of whether they had ever had a job. …

Stupid Germans. Just turn off the welfare and lower the taxes at the same time. The Sand Savages will either self-deport or starve. And nobody will immigrate for free stuff.

Meanwhile, they were dictating to the UK the whole time that they must pay welfare benefits to such people. Even in the post-referendum era, IINM.

That’d take abandonment of the social market economy, which unfortunately they take pride in as their own invention, especially what with having forced it on the rest of the EU by treaty.

That’s probably true. However reality will not be denied and eventually their fiat currency, like ours, is going to crater and there will not be welfare for anyone and that’s when the fun starts.

That has to stop. If too many eastern Europeans come into Germany there will not be enough room for all the Muslims.

“Welfare attracts clients”

It also attracts shoplifters, scam artists, pickpockets and other grifters, particularly from the eastern bloc.
Everything happening now was detailed 40 years ago in Rampail’s “The Camp of the Saints”.

And it may happen in America if we don’t take our country back from the globalists. They have been running amok here for 8 years and are now joined by our beloved butthurt RINOs.

Not “now joined”. They joined perhaps a century ago; certainly by the end of WWII, given what books like “The Conscience of a Conservative” said back in 1960 (the text reads like the political atmosphere of today).
