that was such a self inflicted wound that Europe, and Germany, did to itself. No wonder people are voting AfD. and for the downvoters: these are facts. this is what the politician in Europe campaigned with, built platforms on and said for everything. "We'll get engineers, and doctors! Lots of workers!" Fast forward 5 years... How's the Willkommenkultur going you ask? Look at AfD. Look recently at the 10 million Switzerland votes. And I'm writing this as an immigrant myself... It's sad. | ||

You talking about refugees or migration? That's two totally different things. Germany is in desperate need of migration and yes, the people that come are skilled workers. Refugees is a completely different topic. | ||

The backlash is baked in now I think, people hoping it will just go away are delusional. But if European elites (including UK) are smart they should be able to avoid the worst outcomes, most people don't really want trouble. Issue is, there's no sign of smartness so far | ||
