Germany needs workers, not people who are illiterate and unlikely to ever work.

Germany wants highly-skilled workers, but pays them like interns. That won’t work. Either you let everyone in and train those people to be useful in your workforce or you only let the highly-skilled people in - but then you have to pay them what they’re worth.

You won’t get the best of both worlds, but it seems like a lot of our politicians have the mindset that we’re such an awesome country that everybody wants to come here.

The far-right politics of AfD/CDU/CSU are hindering our progress immensely. The population gets older and many people leave the workforce, but they still pretend like this can go on forever, without letting any migrants in. Good luck with that.
