Immigration in general is most definately something that Germany needs. They had a birth rate of less then 1.5 since 1975 (currrently at 1.36. Take note that this includes immigrants, who have a much higher birthrate, in average.) That's not sustainable. 

The reason birth rates are low is because of wealth. As society becomes more automised, less people are needed in the workforce, and it'll ballence itself out. Germany doesn't need immigration, its just there to import more labour...

I still don't understand how you think immigrants being there should lead to european extinction, especially if they don't interbreed, as you say. We're not in the stoneage anymore, they're not competing for ressources to survive.
