A German economist, Prof. Bernd Raffelhüschen, has published an exhaustive study showing that continued mass migration will cost the Germans 19.2 trillion euros. More on this expert’s findings can be found here.
…However, unlike some other economists who say that Germany is being harmed financially via unskilled labor and needs more skilled labor, Raffelhüschen also says that importing skilled labor will actually cost the German tax and pension system more than entirely shutting the borders to any immigration.
The large debt figures provided by Raffelhüschen may not be so far off the mark, at least when compared to other countries. As Remix News previously reported, several top Dutch professors recently released a study detailing how migrants have cost the Netherlands a minimum of €400 billion since 1995, and the Netherlands has accepted far fewer migrants than Germany. In Norway, researchers found that only half of migrants are employed despite the state spending €6.6 billion on workforce integration projects over the course of 10 years….
The high cost of immigrants to the state is not limited to Germany; it’s happening everywhere in Europe. In the Netherlands during the last 29 years, migrants cost the Dutch state $400 billion in benefits, including unemployment payments, because Muslim migrants are in no hurry to be employed, especially considering the menial jobs which are the only ones most of them qualify for. They can do just as well living on all the state-supplied benefits, which they are unembarrassed to receive. They regard all this money spent on them by Infidel taxpayers as a kind of proleptic jizyah; it is theirs by right. In Norway, despite enormous sums (6.6 billion euros) spent so far on workforce integration — that is, on job training ,language instruction, and cultural acclimation — fully half of migrants, most of them Muslims, remain unemployed for many years. Why should they bother, when they already have things so good?
The sums now being paid into the pension system are much less than what the state is already committed to pay out to retirees.
Most of these Muslim economic migrants will for many years either not be employed, and will live entirely on benefits, or should they be employed as unskilled labor, which is all they qualify for, their wages will be so low that they will still qualify for welfare. The cost to the state of all those benefits is tremendous. And the amounts they pay into the pension system will be negligible.
If immigration into Germany — especially that by Muslim economic migrants – were halted right now, Raffelhüschen calculates there would be an immediate savings; the projected financial gap between payments into the pension system, and the actual outlay for pensions and health care for retirees, would be lowered by an astounding 5.8 trillion euros.
“That is the price of immigration in our current system,” said the social expert….
When they finally are employed, very few Muslim migrants are fit for anything more than menial jobs — even if they do manage to master German, which is by no means a given.
What ails the pension system in Germany is more than the free-riding Muslim migrants who try to delay gainful employment and to extend the amount of time they can enjoy all the benefits on offer. Because people are living longer than they were when the pension system was set up, they are costing those systems much more than was originally anticipated. European countries find it necessary to raise the retirement age. In France, for example, President Macron has raised the retirement age from 62 to 64. Raffelhüschen suggests that there be fewer pension benefits, that people living in Germany who are only legal residents, not full citizens, should not be covered by the social and pension systems, and that Germans must work longer, hours, in order to earn more, and thus contribute more, to the pension system.
If Raffelhüschen’s prescriptions for saving the welfare and, especially, the pension system, were to be adopted, Muslim migration would be ended, and Muslim economic migrants already in Germany would no longer have access to the pension and social systems.
As long as they are unemployed, Muslim economic migrants, who pay nothing into the health insurance system, are nonetheless entitled to the same health care as Germans. A Muslim migrant in the country for two weeks is entitled to the same government-paid health care as a German worker who has paid into the health insurance system for forty years. If this sounds mad, it is because it is mad. This system has to change.
Westman says
The powerhouse of the EU has given itself, not a shot in the foot, which heals, rather, a stroke that is permanent.
One can only imagine the anger of Germans, approaching retirement, who find they must work longer or have smaller than expected retirement income because their government has imported dependents, shut down nuclear power plants, deindustrialized Germany, injured farming, and supported foreign war in Ukraine with money and material that must be replaced with future taxes that would have gone to retirement funds.
Scholz and Baerbock will soon be gone, deservedly. It’s a pity that the citizens will have no redress for Merkel who really drove the silver stake into the heart of Germany.

I doubt most Germans will get angry about this. They were emasculated decades ago and show a willingness to take just about anything up their arses.
Hoi Polloi says
Yes, 40, I haven’t spoken to any Germans who either opposed Merkel’s policies or specifically, the invasion. They were, perversely, quite angry with Italy whose invasion they caused and with the UK for Brexit.
WPM says
I think the plan was to have a permeant underclass of serfs ,like Europe had 800 years ago .People working till they drop dead shorter life span M.A.I.D (medical assessed in dying ) for those who are that are too old and sick to have the government health care system to service them or too lonely and frustrated to care . The poor living in under heated houses because of energy cost and blackouts because you have no sun or wind sometimes in winter in Germany. A new dark ages brought on by a combination of importing worthless violent Moslems and new age small number upper class elites wanting to worship the goddess of 0 carbon as they jet to their second or third homes .
Hoi Polloi says
I agree and I think they want to accomplish that by creating violence-prone factions in western countries that they set against each other at will. Eritreans in both the EU and the US are currently fighting in the streets and setting things ablaze. CALPERS is currently in deep trouble while CA plays sanctuary and reparations games.
Tony Rice says
I always thought that Germany would pay for what it did in WW2, was a longtime coming but maybe it is here now ?
alexreid says
Hitler actually wanted Germany to be an Islamic Nation.
James Lincoln says
If nothing else does, perhaps the immense financial stress of muslim migration will wake up Western leaders.
Numbers don’t lie.
Westman says
True, James.
However, the elites have no conscience about placing the burden on the taxpayers, partying like the French elite before the French Revolution. They think they are secure for a lifetime.
It’s when the populace has had enough and turns on the elite that they become concerned. In the US, the surprise election of outsider Trump shook the confidence of the US elite in their expected secure positions. Something similar will happen in EU states when the people understand that, in the elite’s minds, they, the average citizens, are the EU “deplorables”.
James Lincoln says
Agree, Westman.
Thanks for the reply.
alexreid says
There is at least one News Article out there on this in Germany. This business of taking in all of these Muslims is going to cost Germany 30 TRILLION Euros. Who is going to pay?
