Flash back to 2015: Angela Merkel, the German Iron Chancellor, utters her infamous "Wir schaffen das" — "We can do this" — as she flings open Germany's borders to over a million migrants fleeing war and poverty. It was a humanitarian flex, a bold stand against the chaos of Syria, Afghanistan, and beyond. Fast-forward a decade, and the bill's coming due. Official police stats, dragged into the light by the AfD's parliamentary prodding, paint a grim picture: At least 2.8 million crimes linked to immigrants since 2015, ballooning to 5.1 million if you toss in immigration violations. Violent offenses? Doubled from 12,512 in 2015 to 26,329 last year, with immigrants, about 20% of the population, shouldering 33.8% of them. Afghans, Iraqis, Syrians topping the list for brutality.
Theft? 764,940 cases. Shoplifting? Over half a million. Sexual crimes, including rape? 11,098. And that's just the tip, stats exclude naturalised citizens and long-term residents, so the real tally's likely higher. Germans are victims in 47,923 incidents versus just 12,061 the other way around in 2022 alone. Throw in a string of migrant-linked terror attacks, Mannheim stabbings, Solingen rampage, Magdeburg truck horror, and it's hard not to see a pattern.
Yet Merkel? Zero regrets. She'd "make essentially the same decisions" today, she insists. Why? Because for globalists like her, crime stats are footnotes in the grand gospel of diversity. The mission isn't safety or cohesion, it's transformation. Filling up the Fatherland with the "diverse" isn't a bug; it's the feature. I will unpack this wilful blindness, where numbers don't lie but elites pretend they don't exist.
Germany's Police Crime Statistics aren't some AfD fever dream; they're straight from the Bundestag's response to a query. From 2015 to 2024, immigrants were suspects in 2.8 million offenses, a figure that spikes when you factor in border-jumping alone. Violent crimes alone hit 218,247 over the decade, with a clear uptick: From under 13,000 in Merkel's welcome year to over 26,000 now. That's not "overrepresentation," that's domination. Immigrants, at 20% of the populace, clock 34% of violence, per the data.
Break it down: 11,098 sexual assaults and rapes. 163,625 cases of grievous bodily harm. 40,000 robberies. And theft? A whopping 764,940 tallies, plus 506,034 shoplifts. Specific groups stand out, Afghans, Iraqis, Syrians, as the most prolific in violence, echoing patterns in other migrant-heavy nations like Sweden or France. Victim stats? Lopsided: 47,923 Germans harmed by immigrant suspects in 2022, versus a mere 12,061 immigrants victimised by Germans. It's a one-way street of suffering.
Critics, academics, Left-leaning outlets like DW, push back: "No correlation between migration and crime!" They cite studies showing overall crime down 9% since 2015, or that young non-Germans offend at rates similar to natives. Fair points? Sure, if you're cherry-picking. But those "studies" often lump in long-term residents (Poles, Italians) who aren't the 2015 surge, ignore underreporting, or gloss over the fact that "immigrant" stats exclude naturalised folks gaming the system. And terror? That's not in the "overall crime" bucket, but Solingen's 2024 knife spree or Mannheim's cop-killing didn't happen in a vacuum. The data screams disparity; the spin whispers "racism" to drown it out.
Merkel's Fortress of Faith: Diversity Over DataEnter Merkel, the poster child for globalist grit. In 2017, she doubled down: No regrets, same choices. By 2020, even as Cologne's New Year's Eve assaults and Berlin's Christmas market truck massacre fuelled backlash, she called it a "milestone" that "paid off." Sure, she'd tweak the prep, better bureaucracy for the flood, but the gates? Wide open again. Why? Because for elites like Merkel, migration isn't a policy; it's a sacrament. The EU's grand project demands a borderless bloc, diluted identities, and a workforce to prop up aging demographics. Crime? A speed bump on the road to "enrichment."
This isn't ignorance; it's ideology. Globalists view nations as outdated husks, to be refilled with the "diverse" to foster some multicultural utopia. Stats showing 34% of violence from 20% of the population? Irrelevant. The real metric is headcount: How many souls imported to virtue-signal at Davos? Merkel admitted in 2016 she'd rewind for better planning, not reversal, control slipped, but the mission? Sacred. Her CDU lost Berlin to AfD surges, yet she ploughed on, echoing the EU's line: Borders bad, blending good.
It's a pattern. Macron in France shrugs off no-go zones as "myths" while riots rage. The playbook: Import, integrate (or don't), then deflect with "diversity is strength." When AfD screams "skyrocketing migrant crime," it's branded far-Right hysteria. But the victims, 47,923 Germans in one year, aren't hysterical; they're harmed.
The Globalist Blind Spot: Filling Quotas, Not PrisonsWhy the shrug at stats? Because diversity isn't about harmony; it's about deconstruction. Globalists like Merkel see homogeneous societies as the root of "xenophobia," fill 'em up, and prejudice dissolves. Never mind that integration fails when numbers overwhelm: 1.5 million in 2015-16 alone, many from cultures clashing with secular Europe's norms. Crime's the symptom of that mismatch, poverty, trauma, cultural gaps, but elites don't fix it. They fund NGOs for more arrivals.
Economics? Sure, migrants plug some low skill labour gaps (Germany's birth rate: 1.5 kids per woman). But at what cost? Over 200,000 violent acts, terror waves, and a social cohesion shredded enough to boost AfD to chancellor-contender status. Merkel bet on long-term fusion; reality delivered short-term friction. Yet she'd roll the dice again. Why? Because for the Davos crowd, native discomfort is the price of progress. "Enrichment" trumps evidence.
The Reckoning: When Diversity Demands AccountabilityGermany's not alone, Sweden's rape rates quadrupled post-migration; France's banlieues burn yearly. But the globalist gospel persists: Ignore the ledger, chase the rainbow. Merkel's legacy? A nation transformed, for better or bloodier. The stats, 2.8 million crimes, 218,000 violent, aren't abstract; they're assaults on the social contract.
Time for realism: Secure borders, vet rigorously, integrate ruthlessly. Diversity works when deliberate, not deluged. Globalists like Merkel don't care about crime tallies because their metric is multitude, not safety. But citizens do. AfD's rise isn't hate; it's maths. Merkel opened the gates; now Germans demand the keys back.
