"In the U.S., migrants seeking asylum typically receive no federal aid, but they are permitted to work once they submit their applications. In Germany, they aren’t generally allowed to work until they are officially deemed refugees, which can take months or even years. But they are entitled to benefits worth as much as hundreds or thousands of euros a month..."

#4What a horrible bad faith article
> Germany, which has no history of mass immigration
Germany is historically THE mass immigration country - it’s in the middle of Europe between Asia and Africa - this is the no 1 reason why it’s so successful and relevant at all. Germany has profited from getting the cream of the crop in terms of immigrants for centuries.
Anyone who thinks this is not an immigration country never picked up a history book.

#5Germany didn't just open its own doors, it opened the door to the whole of the European Union. Shortly afterwards the brexit vote happened. Coincidence?

#7Germany welcomed people from war torn countries(Syria) not just to help them but also to grow economy. Its a good gesture other European countries should replicate it for better future.

There is a curious way to address this in official immigration statistics: an arbitrary cut-off at the year 1950. Anyone who arrived before that year is not considered an immigrant: https://www.destatis.de/DE/Themen/Gesellschaft-Umwelt/Bevoel...
(Note: The English version of that page is quite different.)

I would say that's a bit of a stretch.
It is true Germany has a long history if immigration, but before modern times that was mostly from eastern and southern Europe, not from other continents [1].

Brexit happened because the racists thought EU was stealing their money. in reality its the other way around. Has the illegal immigration into Britain stopped since Brexit?
