It's been this way for decades.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has doubled down on his recent comments about migrants and criminality, saying Germans and Europeans were "afraid to move around in public spaces."
On a visit to Potsdam last week, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz talked about how his government was toughening up its migration policy. The primary aim, he said, was to continue to combat what he called illegal immigration.
Then he added another sentence, which has since caused a furor: "But we still have this problem in the cityscape, of course, and that's why the federal interior minister is facilitating and carrying out large-scale deportations."
The offhand remark has been widely criticized as racist, with many saying the chancellor is echoing the rhetoric of the far-right, anti-migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which has been on par with Merz's conservative CDU in recent polls.
Critics from the opposition Greens and the Left Party, but also from Merz's center-left coalition partners, the SPD, have accused the chancellor of fomenting prejudice and furthering societal division by suggesting that diverse urban populations should be targets for deportation, while — incorrectly — blaming them for high crime rates, harassment, and sexual assaults.
Merz has rejected the criticism, though he acknowledged on the sidelines of a summit on the Western Balkans in London on Wednesday that people with a migrant background were "an indispensable part of our labor market."
He also claimed, however, that many people in Germany and across Europe were nonetheless "afraid to move around in public spaces" due to migrants "who do not have permanent residence status, do not work, and do not abide by our rules."

Importing Violent Predators will do that
Amazing
Will the Nazi Ursula von der Leyen let you do anything ?
It’s almost as if their governments imported swarms of murderers and rapists in order to keep the public terrified.
Duh...Many Americans now are afraid or simply choose to avoid public spaces like they’re dog parks for AIDs infected pit bulls.
Remember how all the brown people “migrated” into historically white nations and regions? Just like the book “Future Shock”.
They don’t want to go home. It sucks where they came from.
It takes aggressive, concerted action and an iron will to get this job done.
Surprise! Surprise!! SURPRISE!!! RAISE THE RED FALG!!!
Did Germany give all these invaders citizenship, or are they illegal aliens?
It's been this way for decades.
But, but, but - giving up on your life and staying like a prisoner in your own home is superior to being called a 'racist', right?
These people are a few cards short of a deck. Germans need to create boundaries or they'll cease to exist as a country.
“Amazing”
No, just words to buy time, but from the above, quite effective in keeping the massed fooled, while continuing with the Prime Objective (population replacement).
t’s almost as if their governments imported swarms of murderers and rapists in order to keep the public terrified.

Let’s be honest, government bureaucrats are 100% CULPABLE for each and every heinous crime committed against the citizens of their respective countries by foreigners who have been allowed illegal entry into their countries. 100% responsible!
Merz is saying this not because the people fear immigrants but because the German politicians fear AfD.
Thanks . That makes more sense.
It takes aggressive, concerted action and an iron will to get this job done.

In other words, it takes a real MAN, not a man who is a pusillanimous coward “to get this job done.” There is such a man, but he’s currently occupied doing that job in the USA.
“Thanks . That makes more sense.”
Sure thing. It’s his background, with the nickname Blackrock Mertz because of his past, the VERY LAST thing that he will do is listen to the ‘little people’, who, in this case, are the Germans.
Germans need to create boundaries or they’ll cease to exist as a country.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
BOUNDRIES were voluntarily obliterated by all European countries that relinquished their sovereignty to the dictatorship of the European Union. IOWs, in terms of sovereignty, those countries no longer exist!
And urban planner types wonder why they can’t get people to use public transportation.
So why did he say that?
