Germany: Migrants Bring More Problems than Benefits By Richard Miller (London)
It has taken a long time for the ethno-masochistic, guilt-ridden Germans to awake, but there are the first glimmers of this occurring, maybe, maybe not. A poll, conducted for Infratest Dimap on behalf of ARD Tagesthemen and Die Welt, found that 52 percent of Germans believe that Germany should take in fewer refugees. 54 percent, said the disadvantages of immigration outweigh the advantages, while only a third said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. But, so far as skilled migrants go, the Great Replacement is fine, as 41 percent said they would like to recruit more migrant workers, while 28 percent said the number should be kept at the current level, but only 23 percent wanted to recruit fewer migrant workers. No matter; whether it is refugees of migrant workers, the demographic toll will be the same, as the Great Replacement rolls ever-on. Germans disappear from the face of the Earth.
“A new poll shows that a slight majority of Germans are turning against mass immigration, with 52 percent saying that they believe Germany should “take in fewer refugees,” an increase of 12 points since January 2020.
The results come just a week before a long-awaited migration summit that will involve federal and state governments meeting in Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s office to discuss the ongoing crisis.
The poll, conducted for Infratest Dimap on behalf of ARD Tagesthemen and Die Welt, also asked respondents whether they see migrants as bringing more advantages or disadvantages. For 54 percent, they said the disadvantages of immigration outweigh the advantages, while only a third said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
However, when it comes to skilled immigration, Germans are more supportive. For this type of immigration, 41 percent said they would like to recruit more of these workers, while 28 percent said the number should be kept at the current level. Only 23 percent wanted to recruit fewer of these workers.
Germans have clearly soured on refugees, with just 8 percent wanting to take more in, while 33 percent said the numbers should stay at their current levels. Another 52 percent want “fewer refugees.”
Alternative for Germany (AfD) voters are the least likely to support immigration, with 92 percent favoring restrictive policies. Meanwhile, 61 percent of FDP and 57 percent of CDU/CSU voters also want restrictions. Even one left-wing party takes a majority negative view on immigration, with supporters of Die Linke (Left Party) seeing more disadvantages than advantages (51 percent to 42 percent).
Polling on the topic of mass immigration has delivered similar results as of late, with a slight majority of Germans saying they do not want more immigration.
At the same time, the AfD party, most known for its stance against immigration, has hit a new high of 16.5 percent in national polls.
