RE: German tax revenue rose by 4,3% to avoid a state pensions crisis
They are still capable of physical labor. If their existence in the country cannot be made mutually beneficial for the country, ts citizens and the immigrants, why let them in?
What is the goal?
The amount of jobs which requires physical labor is diminishing, machines are going to take over that jobs. And machines don't pay taxes, another incentive for corporations to invest in machines and the education of their operators, who most probably aren't immigrants.
About letting them in, that's a good question. It all began with an unilateral decision of Germany to welcome immigrants. This decision was made by Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel and the most likely reason why she warmly welcomed immigrants is that she was at that time not really positively in the news. Her fiscal policy towards Greece deepened the Greece Crisis, to such an extent that Greece citizens burned themselves and blaming Merkel for their misery. Therefore she took the 'mother Theresa' position of welcoming refugees by opening the gates of Europe. This shortsighted mindset has brought the EU in the position we are today. So the short answer is Merkel let the immigrants in to stay a few more years in power. But perhaps there is a greater scheme I'm not aware of. It might be that they want to blend the European population through immigration to diminish the power and sovereignty of the EU member states. It's a bit far fetched though, although with the EU socialist governance project, you'll never really know.
