Two-thirds of unemployment benefit recipients in Germany are migrants as cost to taxpayer skyrockets by 122% since 2010

In several German states including Hesse, Baden-Württemberg, and Hamburg, around three-quarters of benefit claimants are either first- or second-generation migrants, suggesting that mass immigration of low-skilled workers is not a net benefit to Europe's largest economy..

Nearly two-thirds of German residents receiving unemployment benefits have a migration background, new figures from the Federal Employment Agency have revealed.

The statistics published by the federal agency and cited by the Die Welt broadsheet showed that 63.1 percent of those in receipt of the so-called citizen’s income, or “Bürgergeld,” are of migrant origin, and “most do not have a German passport.”

The German newspaper explained that while employment figures are increasing year-over-year, “because the Federal Republic has long allowed very high immigration of low-skilled people, the number of migrants who are unemployed and receiving social benefits is also increasing.”

The figures define “migration background” as anyone who themselves or whose parents were born without German citizenship, i.e., first- and second-generation migrants.

Of the 3.93 million people eligible for the taxpayer-funded benefit as of December 2023, some 2.48 million were classed as being of a migration background, with 1.83 million recipients not having German citizenship.

The percentage varies considerably among the federal states. In Hesse, Baden-Württemberg, and Hamburg, more than 7 in 10 of all recipients are migrants at 76.4 percent, 74.1 percent, and 72.8 percent, respectively.

There exists a strong correlation between the rise in the migrant population and the percentage of welfare benefits going to migrants, giving weight to the argument that mass immigration of low-skilled workers is not a net benefit to Europe’s largest economy.

In 2013, the percentage of the German population with a migration background was 20 percent, with 43 percent of benefit recipients being migrants. Today, 29 percent of the German population are foreign-born and 63 percent of unemployment benefits are handed to migrants.

In July last year, a response by Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs Anette Kramme to a request made by the Alternative for Germany MP René Springer revealed that the number of German recipients of welfare benefits had halved since 2010, while the number of foreign nationals receiving payments had doubled.

The cost to the taxpayer has skyrocketed since 2010, with a 122 percent increase on the €6.9 billion bill then to around €15.4 billion a year today.

Springer said at the time that Germany desperately needed to implement “a restrictive immigration policy that effectively prevents immigration into our social systems. The citizens’ income introduced by the federal government, on the other hand, acts like an immigration magnet.”

How can it be that the German people put up with this?!

But on the other hand why are the Americans putting up with Biden’s unregulated immigration policy?

Soon enough we will be in a similar situation.

Same thing will happen here.

If the people bringing these masses of unskilled workers over our southern border think they’re all coming here to work, they are sorely mistaken. They’re here for the freebies.

And even if they do work, they will do so under the table, and also grab the freebies.

Wait. You’re telling me unskilled and uneducated 3rd worlders who can’t even speak the local language are not actually an economic boon to the host country? Why....I am shocked!

They shouldn't be here PERIOD. Whether they want to "work" or not is IRRELEVANT. DEAR FELLOW RIGHT WINGERS, LIFE IS NOT ABOUT CHEAP LABOR. There is nothing more expensive than cheap labor.

No. They won’t. At the end of WW2 it was decreed that every male in Germany had to surrender their testicles at birth.

Sadly, it appears that Germany (as well as England, France, several other countries) lost their “best and brightesst” in two world wars in the last century and we are seeing the results thereof like a slow motion global train wreck.

Unfortunately the best and brightest in Europe today are International Socialist bent on destroying the strength of the West.

It is necessary to bring the world under the heel of the Socialist Boot.

Germany brought their muslim problems upon themselves because of liberalism. Muslims are determined to turn Germany into a muslim state. Wonder how they will enjoy shariah law?

I’m guessing here that Germany’s Citizens (unemployment) benefit that is 63% going to non-German immigrants they allowed in, is NOT limited to 90 days worth, as it is by me here in US. We may at times here (in US) get extensions of those benefits if the economy in general is really bad (See COVID), but typically they end after 90 days and you need to get a job or two. Guassing many/most of their immigrants arent getting jobs, or at least not legal, above the table jobs that provide tax revenue to pay the Citizen Benefit?

From 2015...

German court rules that men can urinate while standing

German males needed a court order for that.
