Why don't construction prices go down?

The problem is exactly that. Only the far right seem to have an issue with qualified migration, meaning people who speak German, work diligently here, earn good money, and contribute to the social systems. Unfortunately, the majority of migration is precisely not that, but rather unqualified, without language skills, and correspondingly recipients of social benefits for many years, which others have to finance. However, especially left of center politics like to deny this difference and pretend that we can solve our skilled labor shortage with uncontrolled migration. Qualified migration requires control over who comes into the country, and those are only the people who can do something that is currently considered useful. The population already understands the difference.

But there is a difference between migration and asylum. If people with qualifications want to come here, very few have anything against that. What many do have a problem with are the people fleeing war and suffering. Personally, I cannot understand that. Those are human rights. It becomes problematic from my point of view when asylum seekers enter the EU, and then, of course, continue on to Germany through Schengen, who realistically will not be granted asylum. Because, for example, they come from safe countries of origin. That these people still stay here for years because the processes take so long, I fundamentally consider wrong, and it also causes a lot of frustration among the population.

Immigrating to Germany is anything but easy. My husband comes from a third country, we have been through it and know what we are talking about. And for him, it was "ONLY" Australia, so no economic interest in coming to Germany. The problem with asylum policy is, in my opinion, that we do not have the problem with legislation, but we have the problem in enforcement. Many people have a so-called tolerated status ("Duldung") here, or they give birth to two children in a container while their asylum application is being processed. That is where the core of the problem lies. And then one of those who got to experience this land of milk and honey here for three years during their application snaps, gets rejected – and bam, a new polling high for the right-wingers. :/

And the core of the problem is also that all the current, let's say "uncontrolled" migrants come for reasons that would make anyone act the same way here. We just have to think back 200 to 400 years, when Europeans set out en masse for America because they were doing poorly economically here.

It is always said so easily, "we must not let people into the country at all," but you also cannot let them dry out in the Mediterranean.
And then everything comes together again, we have to tackle the root, support the countries on site much more effectively, should have done something about climate change long ago, because besides those fleeing for economic reasons, there are also more and more who simply flee because the environment in their home country has suffered so much.

Simply "closing the borders" is not a solution and those who demand that are not clear that we create borders for ourselves, like we had for years between the two Germanys. With all the consequences, including the loss of our comfort of quick border crossings... just popping over to France or Italy.

Oh right, radiation can also bring evolutionary progress to humanity. It promotes mutations.

No, the truly asylum-eligible are largely very well educated (40% of all refugees have attended secondary school). The recognition of their qualifications is more of a problem here. There are plenty of examples of Syrian or Iranian doctors who have to start new training as nurses, and engineers who have to retrain as heating technicians.
Among those not eligible for asylum, lack of qualification is more common (countries of origin: Afghanistan, Somalia, Eritrea).

If you think about it a bit, that also makes sense: In crisis areas, highly educated people tend to leave because they have the financial means and are more likely to belong to the opposition or regime-critical elite.
In the safe country, you tend to stay if you do not see any (economic) perspective. As well- and highly-educated people, however, you can make a good living even in developing and emerging countries (that are reasonably safe).

The problem is actually the lack of legal fast immigration possibilities for well-qualified people and the recognition of foreign degrees as well as professional experience, and on the other hand, access to the labor market and long-term prospects for legitimate asylum seekers.
Another question is whether we should drain well-educated people from their home countries.

In any case, the whole matter is clearly much more complicated than saying all the migrants are to blame for me freezing next winter.

We are not experiencing immigration of politically persecuted or threatened people here, but rather immigration into our social systems.
The high payments from the German government attract economic refugees from all over the world like a sponge. Everyone wants to come to Germany.

What is supposed to be right-wing about this criticism escapes me. Of course, one can also just let it continue without any cap.
But no one in this country will be able to finance it anymore. Reason in this regard has long been lost. Public order and safety are also being lost in the process.

And don't fool yourselves. The schools are overcrowded. No school and kindergarten places, lack of teachers, an underfunded healthcare system (lack of medicines), and of course a glaring shortage of housing are just a few examples.

The skilled workers we need, and with whom we compete with other countries, have long since stopped coming to Germany. The conditions are no longer right to attract highly qualified people. They go to the USA, Switzerland, Canada, or elsewhere.

Not even Romanian or Polish harvest workers come to Germany anymore. Too little pay, too much bureaucracy, and too high deductions.

You have to really think about that. We have an extreme shortage of labor, especially for simpler and labor-intensive jobs. In contrast, in 2022 we had 1.5 million immigrations. That can't be right?

And since everyone would rather wave rainbow flags and refuse to face reality, the jug probably won’t stay on the ground much longer before it breaks. And it will break.

You can only feel disgusted when you hear and read the news in the morning. 46,000 students left school without a secondary school diploma in 2023, many can neither read nor write. Everything has been cut to the bone.

Education system at the tipping point?
But in the education crisis, a kind of tipping point has now also been reached. If we don’t change anything now, we will lose teachers by the thousands and ultimately leave masses of students without diplomas and skills. No quick fix or double boost will help, only a complete overhaul.

But that overhaul will not happen. But that is only one example.

And to stand there and say the AfD is doing nothing is just stupid nonsense. In Thuringia, the AfD lowered the real estate transfer tax. It doesn’t get more concrete than that. It wouldn't have been possible without the AfD. Period!

And all the stupid defamation of the AfD by the media, the proven right-wing extremist attitude and the party being monitored by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the majority of voters in East Germany just don't care anymore. The more agitation, the more votes.
Keep it up. Then it will be enough for absolute majorities in the East German federal states.

Even the AfD district administrator Sesselmann from Sonneberg was officially confirmed in office for his loyalty to the German constitution. Explicitly!
Heard anything right-wing extremist or negative from there? I certainly haven’t.

But what many people have a problem with are those who flee from war and suffering. I personally cannot understand that. Those are human rights.

This is a practical problem. Human rights also have to be implementable. If we add up all the people affected by war or politically/religiously persecuted and who probably have a right to asylum, we're likely not talking about millions anymore, but rather billions. In any case, far too many to take in in the West. And that then leads to the practical asylum law as we have it now. Safe third countries, crooked deals with autocrats along migration routes, asylum applications only in Europe, closed borders and only illegal entry, but once someone has managed to arrive here, they are practically not deported again. The people then live for years in gymnasiums or containers, sit around all day because there is a shortage of people for German and integration courses and also for the recognition of professional qualifications, if they even have any. The whole system is highly schizophrenic, but it has to be that way because a clear pro-asylum policy is not feasible. The million refugees from 2015 still have not been fully processed, just imagine if that happened every year. Absolutely unimaginable in practice.

They are definitely working hard on the upswing of the AfD... now the municipalities openly admit that the [Hebesätze] will not be adjusted "revenue-neutral" in 2025, but may even be increased...
