I really don't get why so many people think the migration is their biggest problem instead of economy and especially demography in Germany. The industry is stuck in the 20th century, that's the main problem which needs to be addressed, not if there are some migrants here and there.
Propaganda.
And scapegoating
It's always easier to blame others then think about how to improve yourselves.
Certainly when areas of improvement are controlled by rich people who in general like to contribute being rich.
Which is especially sad in Germany, because we ought to have learnt from the mistakes of the past and mastered the art of improving ourselves. The stereotype of a German being overly critical was true for exactly that reason. Apparently the Generation that should have learned it from first hand simply forgot.
Because people want simple solutions to extremely complex issues.
Plus misinformation. I swear people were better informed when they were less informed and discussing politics over the coffee table with their peers.
Migration is not a problem itself. It is uncontrolled migration that is. It is normal when you have a lot of people coming in your country that don't get papers so they can't find normal job, appartment etc that they will turn to criminality to survive. IMO I think it is inhuman to let people in these situations. I am far more for more border control and easily giving papers to people who want to come to the country than letting borders open and ignoring them and letting them rot in the street.
That sounds like an argument for a robust social safety net, not an argument against immigration.

you either willfully or unknowingly spout far-right conspiracy theory between the lines.
migration is not only normal, but essential to the survival of the planet and each country/region. it's a net positive. we've gone so far out of our way to make it a "we" vs "them", when there's no "we" at all. there's just rich people protecting their interests, trying (and suceeding) to divide the masses
That's why support for anti immigration parties is so concentrated in regions with few immigrants
They're not being ignored tho, they're just not allowed to work
Found one.
Exactly. What's more, demographic change alone has led to an urgent need for workers from abroad in Germany. This applies to low-skilled as well as highly skilled workers - for example in crafts, catering, healthcare, nursing, IT or engineering, just to name a few sectors. What the right-wing parties and their supporters are propagating is not only inhumane and amoral, it is also economically disastrous. It is these unscrupulous opportunists who are ruining the country with their racist hate; not the migrants - quite the opposite.
Because none of the big party wants to acknowledge that, random example, abolishing the wealth tax was a bad idea. Not even the bloody SPD: They're not addressing social issues, aren't addressing people's fears for the future, aren't addressing the lack of perspectives, which leaves room for demagogues. Because doing that would mean that they need to make actual changes to the system, and why would the SPD implement SocDem policies there's a reason they're known as the traitor party.
It's, in short, a lack of balls in the SPD's political base to get rid of the Seeheimer circle. Get rid of that New Labour nonsense. Maybe, you know, when Berlin (as in the city state) votes to expropriate large landlords you take that as a sign that you fucked up and change course, instead of trying your best to not have to implement the expropriation. "But won't someone think about market confidence!" MFers did it help market confidence when the east went full-on AfD. Get a grip.
