Angel Merkel
This is a follow up to the Judiciary Report
article "The European Union Must Address Immigration Imbalances
Threatening Select Member Nations Economic Future And Stability."
A new report in the British newspaper the
Express revealed, "German asylum seekers refuse to work
insisting 'We are Merkel's GUESTS.'"
This poses a problem for Germany, as some
Syrian migrants were allowed in, while others stormed the
borders, with estimates revealing 750,000 have poured into
their borders. While I’m certainly not xenophobic, having
been an immigrant (from Jamaica) and I do sympathize with
the migrants, in the aforementioned article months ago, I posed
the practical, reasonable question, as a head of state and government,
how do you reasonably care for an influx of 750,000 plus people,
find them work (though they do not speak the language),
food, shelter and clothing, without it completely walloping
and overwhelming your system. It was and is mind-boggling.
Now the problem has arisen regarding some
migrants not wanting to work, referring to themselves as
"Merkel's guests" and seeking to get benefits instead (and
this was bound to happen, as able bodied immigrants from a
number of nations went to Britain - who recently voted to
leave the EU - and opted to go on benefits rather than
working in the United Kingdom).
Berlin, Germany
What that means is they expect the state to
provide for them. That could financially destroy Germany. It
could legitimately cause Germany to financially collapse.
Migrants are also turning to crime in Germany, with a number
of high profile crimes, from theft to murder, being written
about in European newspapers.
The Germans are brilliant and very
industrious, but as the site expressed months ago, they are
going to have their work cut out for them regarding the massive
immigrant influx under what are an unusual set of
challenging circumstances. This would pose a massive
challenge for any world nation.
I like Merkel. She’s a strong woman, who has
accomplished a lot in office. She’s
done positive things for Germany. However, this matter with
the migrants is a serious issue that could overwhelm her
government. A government committee/think tank/regulatory
group dedicated to addressing the migrant issue needs to be
formed for the sake of Germany and the migrants. I also encourage the Syrian migrants to learn German
and cooperate with the government in finding work. Learn to
assimilate and make an opportunity at a new life work.

German asylum seekers refuse to work insisting 'We are
Merkel's GUESTS'
ASYLUM seekers in Germany are refusing to undertake
work to counteract boredom - using Chancellor Angela
Merkel’s generous hospitality as an excuse.

UPDATED: 21:09, Thu, Aug 18, 2016 According to mayor Bernd
Pohlers of the eastern town of Saxony Waldenburg, the asylum
seekers refused to accept the work that was offered to them
after they arrived in the country. The local council spent
£600 arranging for the men to have uniforms but were stunned
when they were told they would not complete it because they
were "guests of Angela Merkel".
While asylum seekers are not allowed to work
under immigration rules within the EU, they are allowed to
do voluntary work. However officials in the district of
Zwickau came up with a plan to help encourage those without
employment to get back to work and to help them become more
accepted within the local community. In order to do this
they created voluntary jobs which included a nominal payment
of £18 for 20 hours work.
But all of the male residents of the local
refugee accommodation who initially agreed to get involved
in the charitable activities quit after discovering there
was a minimum wage £7.30 (€8.50) in Germany. The men had
been picked up and offered transportation from their
paid-for housing where they are also given food and then
dropped home.
Mayor Pohlers said: "It was subsequently
argued by these people that they are guests of Mrs. Merkel
and guests do not have to work. "Furthermore, they were of
the opinion that there is a minimum wage (€8.50) in Germany,
and that this had to be paid by the City Waldenburg."
Despite attempts at mediation the asylum seekers refused to
return to work. Mayor Pohlers added: "In a specially
convened meeting with an interpreter the authorities
explained the rules again. "Unfortunately, no agreement
could be reached on the continuation of the measure."
