Summary
Friedrich Merz, leader of Germany’s CDU party and a leading candidate for chancellor, may again rely on far-right AfD votes to pass stricter immigration laws.
This move, following a similar vote earlier in the week, has drawn widespread criticism, including from former Chancellor Angela Merkel and current Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who called it an “unforgivable mistake.”
Protests erupted across Germany against CDU’s cooperation with AfD, which has been partially classified as extremist. Immigration remains a key issue ahead of Germany’s snap election next month.
They get exploited because the capitalist class prey on their vulnerability, and the political class is largely complacent about this because the want economic growth at any cost.
Poorly managed immigration is the product of globalists seeking to move labour wherever they can most easily exploit it with little care for how working class families feel about it.
Moderate political parties of all kind and in many countries in Europe have refused to talk honestly about this state of affairs. It has disillusioned a great deal of the populations who don’t care for botched immigration plans and feel marginalised from political processes. It seems you can’t even suggest maybe there should be less immigration without someone else feverishly dressing that up in hyperbole. (Notwithstanding that, obviously, that is also a view that racists and Nazis have. But simply having the view itself doesn’t automatically sign one up to the rest of their horrid beliefs)
If immigration were reduced then certain jobs would either go undone or employers would have to bid higher to buy labour from the local market. Budget problems that that may cause simply highlight the monopoly of assets by the 1% that governments have enabled and should do something about.
They get exploited by a mix of factors, some of which are:
In good intelectual honesty, I can’t oppose immigration to my country; historically, we are an emmigrant nation.
Want I can oppose is how the same that go out and often get exploited, eventually come back and do the same to those coming here. Bad actors.
At a government/legal level, those same bad actors exist and thrive at delaying or not properly organizing the means for those that want to integrate, legally, to do so. It is extremely sad to be a private citizen and be forced to show a public official where and how are they wrong.
And professional, independent, orders refusing to recognize the competences of non-national professionals is disgusting. If a phisycian is good enough to provide healthcare in a tourist destination, I risk they can perform just as well anywhere else. The same for teachers, engineera, etc.
And last, on my list, why are there occupations too low for my compatriots to take? Low salary? Make demands, go on strike, unionize. Poor work conditions? Same recipe.
