Germany to Spend $6.6 Billion on 800,000 Refugees and Migrants - NBC News

This will be interesting to see how this works out.

Maybe the motive is humanitarian, but there may be some practical motivations as well if they are afraid their economy might collapse since no one is having children over there as this year old article illustrates.

That's like 1% of their population. Imagine the US taking in 3 million refugees.

What they should do is just build them a city and keep them there until it's time for them to go home. They work, they have a place to live and shop but they work to live like anywhere. Then go back to Syria when the time is right. No German citizenship.

Um, maybe in the 90's. Today the US makes equal cars to anyone in the world on on a value basis. Of course we don't have a sedan that compares to a $120,000 Mercedes but that is not a common sense comparison.

Germany has no choice. Greece is letting them in as payback and the refugees are making their way to the promised land of milk and honey. It is a catastrophe of the grandest scale and it is all the making of Western and Asian powers that are funding the wars and arming the thugs in the Middle East and Africa. Absolutely horrible what is happening. In the Congo Lake Basin alone millions of people have been killed as part of the Genocide on these poor people whose only crime is that they live on land that has minerals and oil that the West and Asia ruthlessly desire.

Perhaps they should bill qatar and saudi arabia. They have spent billions trying to unseat Assad and have 0 refugees.

I spent a lot of money as a tourist in France and Germany 5 years ago.

I won't be going there again.
