That was a different situation entirely. First, the immigrants from the east came over not all at once, but gradually over time, years and even decades. It was easier to prepare for. Second, many of the immigrants were German themselves, so language and culture wasn't an issue. Third, Germany was still recovering from the Second World War and the industrialized West's rapidly growing economy was always in need of more workers.

Not facing worldproblems is great ask any Swiss. 

Ofcourse there are not applying for asylum as much.  Balkan route is closed. Bulgaria has fences and a whole army of police to keep them out.

They put them in camps. And use force to keep them out. Also there is that Multi Billion Euro Deal with Turkey that Merkel did, which also keeps them out.

If the open border policy of 2015 would still persist we would have another 1-2 Million more refugees here.

Its simply an overload for the social systems in Germany and Sweden. We even give 4000 Euro to anyone who is willing to go home. (Obviously not Syrians but North africans/Albanians/Afghanis and others.)

A refugee costs like 12k and more a year. With 1.1 Million of them its a cost of 13 Billion Euro per year. And we expect 500000 Family members of the syrians to come here too. 

Its an incredible cost and burden. Which is why I am for a limit of refugees. The money and ressources that germans created has also its limits. You cant expect any nation to destroy itself with altruism. I think there should be EU regulations so countries like Sweden and Germany will be stopped from harming themselfs too much economically. 

It's a criminal offence in Sweden to say anything that could be construed as 'hate speech' while simultaneously the government deny it's a real thing. In other words, it's a cover up in order to stop potential civil unrest. Islam's doctrine isn't to assimilate, it's to dominate and take over. It takes a colossal level of denial to overlook the truth but some people are giving it 100%. I could post 10 vids showing it happening and they would be called 'isolated cases', I could post hundreds of vids showing it happening and it would still be called 'isolated cases'. They're NOT isolated cases, this is why you have Right wing parties on the rise and the military on the streets of France, Germany, Sweden and other European countries. Stop virtue signalling. Decency won't save us from the inevitable and it's beginning to look like only racism will. What a pity the Left went too far because I fucking HATE racists.

Nice try. The amount of crimes committed by migrants only increased by 79% even though the number of immigrants increased by 440%.

It's also proven that Syrians and Afghans commit far less crimes per capita than other immigrants especially from Eastern Europe and North Africa, which mostly don't have a right of asylum anyway.

I agree with this.  They were crazy taking in so many. 

In ireland during the booming economy of 2000-2008 we had a crazy number of eastern Europeans. It caused a lot of social problems in ireland.  The number was too high in too short a time.  

Now however since the economic crash most returned home and we're left with a more moderate number of eastern Europeans.  For example 150k poles. These are generally the more decent people who want to stay and work here.  They are mixing into the community very well and the bad will of the public during the boom years is generally gone now.  

To me it's all about numbers.  Immigration is OK within moderation. 

Most of those millions of immigrants then moved to USA/Canada/Australia, and they didn't have welfare benefits in Germany...

So the Cologne Sex Attacks are seen as fake news by Social Justice Warriors?

No, just the ridiculous 1000+ number.

We're also not keen using certain incidences to crimanilize whole groups of a population. There might as well been 100 Syrians who grabbed a million women, that doesn't make it right to demonize all immigrants.

Germany has been taking in immigrants in the millions in the past decades even before the middle eastern crisis escalated. Most of them eastern european and above all Turkish people. There are millions of muslim immigrants in this country with their families and they have been here for decades. Claiming that taking a few hundred thousand more of them is somehow driving the country into ruin is just ridiculous.

Germany is doing just fine and the current most popular party in the country is left wing.

About 55 thousand in 2016.
