German Immigrant Benefits - Also Magnet to Tens of Thousands of European Minorities

---------------------------------------- ARTICLE ---------------------------------------- MISCELLANEOUS EXTRACTS ONLY http://www.dw.com/en/no-way-out-for-deported-balkan-roma/a-18825667 No way out for deported Balkan Roma Date 04.11.2015 Author Nemanja Rujevic / jtm  The family receives 1,100 euros (1,200 dollars), a sum that most people in Serbia can only dream of. "The German authorities put an end to the family's hopes, ordering them to leave by March. But the family stayed longer, for a reason made clear on Sasa's chest: a scar received from a heart operation that he had to undergo in Germany. Around 11,000 people have been deported from Germany in this year alone. 27,000 more have left voluntarily with German government support. Tens of thousands from government-designated "safe origin countries" in the Balkans still remain in the Germany, without hope according to German lawmakers. This mostly affects ethnic Albanians and Roma. Nine out of ten thousand asylum seekers from Serbia belong to these minorities. The German government has received support for the policy change from leaders of Balkan countries. The Serbian government described Roma as "fake refugees by trade," and the prime minister called on Germany to cut asylum seekers off from social welfare.  A large portion of the returnees simply goes back to their home. For those who have no home, there is the refugee commissariat. Nobody there has time for an interview, as "all hell has broken loose with the migrant crisis." By that is meant the current influx of migrants from the Middle East and Africa, the thousands of people who pass through Serbia every day. Deportations from Germany are, on the other hand, business as usual. A reintegration strategy should be adopted, the commissariat said in an earlier statement. http://www.dw.com/en/no-way-out-for-deported-balkan-roma/a-18825667 ---------------------------------------- COMMENT Germany is a magnet not only for Middle Eastern and African immigration. The Roma and Albanian minorities are drawn to Germany, as Germany provides generous immigrant welfare and benefits that are not available to such minority populations in their normal places of residence in Europe. As long as this is available, poor minorities will also flock to receive the advantages available.   Meanwhile, the German taxpayer is funding accommodation, medical care, education and draw-card monetary payments, before footing the expense of eventual deportation, or 'incentives' to relocate. There are tens of thousands of such immigrants on benefits and receiving support in Germany.    Germany has deported 11,000 in 2015 alone, but surely not before providing for each and every one of those 11,000.  German taxpayers have also provided for the 27,000 others, who have been given incentives and support (presumably financial) to depart. Let me guess:  this entire cycle is then repeated. ---------------------------------------- Europa-Evropa ᛞ ᛞ
