The alarming figures have just been released, and it turns out that those migrants, a great many of them Muslims from the Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey, now cost German taxpayers 43 billion dollars a year.
More on this vertiginous cost can be found here: “$43 Billion Per Year Burden: Migration Costs Hammer German Taxpayers,” by Robert Semonsen, Gateway Pundit, May 27, 2026:
Germany is facing a staggering migration bill exceeding €40 billion (approximately $43 billion) a year, with critics warning that the true cost of mass immigration is now placing unsustainable pressure on the country’s economy and social systems.
While official figures often highlight federal spending, the full picture is far more alarming. Once regional and municipal costs are included, the total burden rises well beyond €40 billion ($43 billion)—and may approach €50 billion (around $54 billion) annually.
According to a report from Remix News, citing government data and regional reports, the headline federal figure of €24.8 billion ($26.8 billion) significantly understates the real cost borne by taxpayers.
That €24.8 billion ($26.8 billion) represents only federal expenditures. It does not account for the massive additional spending required at the state and local levels.
German states and municipalities are shouldering a large share of the burden. Their combined costs add tens of billions more to the total.
The result is a financial strain that extends across the entire system. Public budgets are being stretched at every level of government.
But the official totals still fail to capture the full impact. Many of the most visible consequences are not included in the headline figures.
Housing markets, for example, are under intense pressure. Rent prices have surged, and affordable housing has become increasingly scarce. Public infrastructure, too, is feeling the strain. Roads are more congested, and local transport systems are facing growing demand.
Healthcare is another major pressure point. Hospitals continue to be overcrowded, and waiting times for treatment are rising.
The financial imbalance within the health system is becoming increasingly evident. The National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds has warned of a growing deficit.
A key issue is the gap between contributions and costs. Many recipients of benefits have not paid into the system at the same level….
Many of these economic migrants receive every sort of benefit that the German state lavishes on welfare recipients, including free or greatly subsidized housing, free medical care, free education including language tuition, family allowances, unemployment benefits without having been employed in Germany, and more.
Support is growing for policies that prioritize economic sustainability and national interests. The issue is reshaping the political landscape.
The mass migration — almost entirely Muslim — that has been going on since 2015, when then-Chancellor Angela Merkel threw open her country’s gates to more than a million mostly Muslim migrants and confidently declared “Wir schaffen das!” — “We Can Do This!” — have harmed both German “economic sustainability” and the country’s “national interests.” Little more than a decade later, it has been conclusively shown that no, the Germans cannot “do this.” They cannot assimilate the millions of Muslims now in their midst. The federal and state governments in Germany are running out of money; the annual bill for immigrant support now comes to the staggering sum of 43 billion dollars. This is unsustainable.
The only immigration policies that make sense are those of the Alternative für Deutschland, the anti-Muslim immigrant party that the redoubtable Alice Weidel leads. The AfD wants to call a complete halt to Muslim immigration, to deport Muslims already in Germany if they have been convicted of committing crimes, and to severely restrict the distribution of welfare benefits, including imposing a mandatory work requirement on welfare recipients.
The AfD party is now leading in all the polls and could win the next election that must be held no later than March 25, 2029. In fact, the election is likely to be held as early as next year, given all the alarm nationwide over Muslim immigration, and how the colossal cost of the cornucopia of benefits it provides those Muslim migrants is eating into the amounts that elderly Germans once could, but can no longer, count on.

Pathological altruism

That’s a good way to put it.

I do not believe that the next election comes earlier than 2029.
There ist no democratic way to stop the current government.
The AfD is the only party which could demand a no-confidence-vote. But the other opposing parties in Parliament would not follow this, because it comes from the AfD.
The only other way would be that the cabinet resigns. And that won’t happen.

regarding;
“Germany is facing a staggering migration bill exceeding €40 billion (approximately $43 billion) a year,”
our migration costs, the muslims controlling Minnesota, Maine, NYC and California and Texas have already cost us much more than 43 billion, in social services and fraud.
Who knows what the annual cost can be. I don’f suppose the Democrats would ever let us find out/
James Lincoln says
So, Friedrich Merz.
$43 billion per year.
So, what is your return on investment ROI?

James, the scam just changed up.
Here’s what they’re doing. Instead of mass invasions over the borders, now they are legalizing the whole process. They just allocated hundreds of thousands of legal immigration requests from Muslim countries. Why? Because that won’t make for bad optics of desperate men in fathers looking for stuff. It’s quieter under the radar, and all legal.
Basically, they perfected their methods of Islamic invasion by legalizing it, learning about their mistakes. These requests don’t even consider family re unification which is coming.
All Muslim countries.

AfD is strong in areas used to be East Germany where people had been oppressed by the communist regime, Probably that is why they realize the danger of the muslim mugrants and the current facist government, although actually every sane person should realize it.
So, it may take some oppression period by the very evil government like the communist government to wake people up from their socialism hallucinatory. However, the East Germans may be able to change the situation because they share the same ethnicity with the current authoritarian ruler, it might be a different result if their future ruler (the Islamists) were from different backgound.
Europe should wake up before too late, once the muslim population is more than the non muslim population, there is no turning back.
OLD GUY says
Wake up America, Islam is coming for us, using the same game plan. Islam will defeat us through the migration Invasion of young men and women who will out breed us and enter all levels of public office, from school boards to city, state and federal political positions. It is already taking place. Time to stop the migration of islam and restrict first and second generation of migrants from holding public offices.

How Much Are Migrants Costing German Taxpayers?
Please stop using the language of the left. These people are not migrants. They are invaders.
Part of the problem is when we adopt the deceitful language of the left which is giving cover to the invaders.

Stacy, this term was used in the story Jihad Watch linked to–that’s all.
Stacy says
In Romania the right won. But the EU got the Romanian courts to strike down the votes of the people. They held another election and banned the winner of the previous election from running. We see many times how the right is winning early but then something happens and the left wins. I remember when Marine LePenn was ahead by double digits and then the left banned her people from campaigning and especially from social media a month or two before the election and then the left won by double digits. This type of political corruption has become the normal for Europe.
Beans🫘 says
Comment of the week right there.
Too much at stake for the left and their globalist allies to increase Muslim migration an stick to the catastrophic green scam agenda. They will do anything to win. Us, we won’t we are too timid.
Orban , Hungary was put under economic siege to overthrow him. Poland as well, the right was taken out of power, and Muslims are coming in now. A woman had her eyes torn out of her head by an Islamic migrant, and then she was Ra$&@d to death. That called for a globalist celebration.

And the worst thing is that the staggering economic toll is the least of it. Islam is also costing Germans their lives and their civilized culture.
