Labor agency chief says Germany needs more immigrants

BERLIN — The head of Germany’s national labor agency says the country needs significantly more immigrants to plug gaps in the work force as the population ages.

Federal Labor Agency Chairman Detlef Scheele said in Tuesday’s edition of the daily newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung that he expects the number of working-age people in Europe’s biggest economy to decline by nearly 150,000 this year.

“In the coming years, it will be much more dramatic,” the paper quoted him as saying.

Scheele said that immigrants would be key — “this is not about asylum, but about targeted immigration for the gaps in the labor market.”

“We need 400,000 immigrants per year, so significantly more than in recent years,” Scheele said. “From nursing care via climate technicians to logisticians and academics, there will be a shortage of skilled workers everywhere.”

Gotta drop those wages to slave labor levels—then the workers will learn to obey the Master Race!

I’m now, and for some time, of the opinion that all politicians and ultra rich should be executed.

Yes, I’m sure Afghanistan and other such places are bursting with such highly qualified individuals.

Clearly, the leadership feels that someone will be needed to clean the toilets.

The twentieth century’s world wars now look very different to me, in hindsight. The elites have always hated the populace, but apparently, atomic weapons scare them.

But many reports have shown that even 2nd generation foreigners (ie. Arabs and Africans) use welfare and social services at much higher rates than native Germans, and also have higher unemployment rates.

So Detlef Scheele’s globalist, economic-efficiency argument isn’t even true.

“We need 400,000 immigrants per year, so significantly more than in recent years,”


And they will need an extra 800K Germans to correct the mistakes of those 400K immigrant workers.

Really, that’s all our esteemed leaders think of us. Just pegs in the vast corporate machine, all completely interchangeable.

Please, continue to import those brown, economic slaves. Sure they are dangerous, but it’s about MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!

Or the Labor agency chief could tell native German women to have some babies.

Long term more marriages, more sex, more babies, more skilled workers.
Sharply lower birth rates will put a country out of business sooner or later.
