I read somewhere the other day that in Germany, asylum seekers get a 5 year 'pass'. If conditions improve in their home countries, home they go. Don't know that for a fact, before the SJW's attack me.
Svejk, I think it might be their equiv of the US Green Card system your referring to:
'In August 2000, Germany introduced a "green card" system to help satisfy the demand for highly qualified information technology experts. In contrast with the American green card, which allows for permanent residency, the German version limits residency to a maximum of five years.'

Well, they do have experience of moving into other Countries I suppose!
They are used to getting details too. Vot is your name?
Didn't the Germans deport all those Turkish workers some years ago?

They did and firebombed a load of hostels containing Turkish workers. History is repeating itself as we reada gymnasium has been torched which was destined for immigrants.
It is a bit of a wind up when your ability to take migrants is assessed on your population rather than your population density, so you get "You, UK, you've got a lot of people already - have a load more. You, France, you've got a lot of space, so keep it." Britain has the highest population density of any large country in Europe, and of course most of that population is concentrated in England, so to use overcrowding as a reason to allow more people in is completely inequitable.

Also it might be an idea to take national migration figures into account when looking at placing asylum seekers. British net migration is at an all-time high of 330,000. If people were leaving Britain there would be room for a few more to come in, but as people are coming to Britain at quite a rate already then adding to this rate with a disproportionate number of asylum seekers is again inequitable.
Did Germany deport all their Turkish workers?
No. Turks are the largest minority ethnic group in that country.

Svejk - I didn’t hear the broadcast, so I can’t comment on whether they were actually ‘lecturing’ us or not.

But consider this – the UK has taken in five thousand immigrants from Syria, Germany will have taken in seven-hundred-and-fifty thousand by the end of the year – maybe they think they are qualified to talk to us on the subject, since the figures suggest they know considerably more about it.
If only it was as simple as that, andy-hughes, to consider this one issue in isolation, treating all other things as being equal and then disregarding them.

But they're not all equal. For example, cutting and pasting my response from another thread ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Europe has loads of space to take more migrants. The problem is that the UK doesn't.

Just doing the sums based on these numbers ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_and_population_of_European_countries

... you find that ...

* Germany would need to take 10 million more people to be as crowded as the UK
* Italy would need to take 17 million more people to be as crowded as the UK
* France would need to take 76 million more people to be as crowded as the UK
* Spain would need to take 83 million more people to be as crowded as the UK

In fact, the whole of Europe could take six BILLION more people before it was as crowded as the UK. There's loads of room in Europe - just not in our part of Europe.
Thanks, Ellipsis, keep on quoting those stats! Any chance of getting them into a newspaper? I rather despair of the TV.
