    Many Germans feel foreign in their own country and are afraid that immigration is changing their homeland rapidly. Every fifth person in Germany comes from an immigration background and that number will continue to climb. What does that mean for the country? By DER SPIEGEL Staff

    You should use the latest data. The article you posted is half year old. Der Spiegel just yesterday published the exact opposite, based on latest research covering the last three years and almost 10,000 people:

     

    Most Germans are not much concerned or worried about migrants and refugees coming to their country. That’s the result of a representative study that was carried over the last 3 years (2015-2018) asking almost 10,000 people living in Germany. The score indicates an overall positive Image of the multi-cultural society in Germany. 

    - Most respondents support accepting refugees and would even do so if Germany was the only country in the EU doing so;

    - Number of respondents who see refugees as a threat for prosperity has slightly declined;

    - Most negative attitude and reservations agains refugees was expressed by respondents living where least foreigners live, I.e. east Germanry.

     But I don't think it's productive (or healthy) to always assume the worst case scenario.

    As of today, what I wrote is not an assumption, but how things are.

    A lot of these issues will be smoothed out over the coming months and years.

    Not sure how much money you have, but for most people, studying to become a doctor is quite a financial investment. So I can completely understand that someone who’s about to start becoming a surgeon puts that investment to where it creates the best outcome under the highest probability. What’s the point of investing in an U.K. degree hoping that you might be able to practice in the EU in some years, where could just study in the EU and be sure that you can practice there right from the start (and maybe in the U.K. in a couple of years later)?

    Equally a doctor from Europe cannot just take a degree and practice in Thailand or the USA or whatever without any hassle. There will be exams to qualify for though in Thailand the doctors degree is not worth as much in Europe or elsewhere.

    ...but a doctor who studied in the EU can practice in the EU. So I understand why someone who’s about to start studying to be a doctor would change his mind and get his degree in an EU country rather than the UK. 

     

    So this is far from „nonsense“ as someone put it.

    You talk some sense, and then you go and spoil it all by writing this type of nonsense.

    I'm sorry, but to suggest that qualifications gained in the UK will no longer be valid in other countries after Brexit is ridiculous. 

    Huh? Why is this nonsense of ridiculous? Do you really believe a doctor can just practice wherever he wants to, because his degree is being equally recognized everywhere? I am too lazy to google the actual regulations now, but what I can tell you is that a Thai girl that I used to date who is a doctor at a big hospital here in Bangkok, had exactly the same issue when her western boyfriend asked her to just move to Europe with him. In his mind, it was all going to be super easy. Turns out she cannot just take her degree and practice in Europe.

    the large and growing incidence of sexual assaults committed byrefugees against local women.

    What empirical evidence is this assertion based on? Because most statistical data do not show that crimes per capita committed by refugees is significantly higher than the number committed by Germans. 

     

    But i guess I should have stopped reading when the author of your article suggested date-rape is a „cultural misunderstanding“.

    What does that have to do with my response? I was responding to someone claiming in Germany “have muslim invaders raping, pillaging and murdering the German people. People cant walk the streets safely.“ Complete bullshit. 

     

    ———

     

    Btw, on Friday, a 19 years old German-Maroccan guy was killed by a 17 years old German. I am wondering: Where are all the candlelights, protests, worried citizens, and AfD politicians now? 

     

    Their concerns about safety and crimes, their mourning about a dead guy in Chemnitz — it’s all fake as everything they say claim and say is fake. A pretense to create hatred and stir up the mob.

     

    Truth is:

     

    Most Germans are not much concerned or worried about migrants and refugees coming to their country.

    everything happened prior to 2018, concerning mr. maassen is red tape of the past.

    Oh, so first you write he did nothing wrong; now, after it is clear that you were wrong again, we should just forget about it? You right-wing people are hilarious, really.

    This is just more media brainwashing

    Quite amusing that the people who constantly lie and don’t provide any evidence for their claims blame others of brainwashing.

    because they are scared to death of real Germans

    Scared of those unemployed, uneducated neo-nazis in east Germany who came as refugees themselves?

    I have to disappoint your right-wing fantasies but there wont be another Reich.

    a million hostile invaders disguised as refugees. At least trump had the right idea. Mad Merkel should have forced the oil rich arab nations to take the dispaced people. 

    Calling people fleeing from war “hostile invaders”, suggesting they should be denied their most basic human rights and forced somewhere, and praising a stupid man that is a disgrace for his country and his position — that all says a lot about you. 

     

    If there’s such thing as a second life I hope you will be born in a country of war and crime without having the chance to chill in sunny Thailand.

    Read a history book some time, use a dictionary or Google.

    Any where exactly does it state that (a) the responsibility of the German BfV is to protect the borders, or (b) there is “Islamic expansionism”?

    Your cheap insults do not belittle me

    If you find it insulting that someone calls you out for spreading nonsense then maybe you just shouldn’t spread nonsense?

    > I've worked in the USA, in various capacities, for 4 years total over 20 years. It was never harder than working in the EU 

    Maybe that was 20 years ago. Two close (European) friends of mine are working in the US. Getting their green cards was incredibly complicated, and for one even pure lottery. (And I am not even talking about low-skilled people looking for a job; both had a job offer already, one is a Harvard-grad who worked for BCG, the other one a PhD from a reputable European research institution).

    Without getting into the debate of the need for another vote, nobody has yet explained to me how it's possible to have another vote without it completely undermining our negotiating position.

    What “negotiation position” do you see undermined? The U.K. doesn’t have any bargaining power in this. The U.K. can only lose big times or super-big times. You still can’t see this even after 2 years?

    As opposed to the alternative facts......

    No “alternative facts”. Or would you honestly claim that any brexiteer would be ok with the U.K. leaving the EU but agreeing in a deal to the four freedoms and accepting EU regulation?

    The Remainer: Should we subvert the democratic will of the people there is no need to leave the EU if we effectively use hypocrisy, contradiction, contrariness and willful blindness. 

    Most remainers probably would be ok with leaving the EU but entering into an agreement as the one mentioned above. So it’s really not the remainers “subvert the democratic will of the people”, it is Brexiteers trying to use one referendum to ruin the whole country.
