Re: Most baffling statement you've seen/heard recently

I'm optimistic, but I think the government needs to do more. My mom works with refugees and I often tag along with her, so I know a few of them myself. Even with the ones whose German (I'm from Germany, in case it matters) was quiet good they can't get paid work (because of the status of their asylum application? I'm not sure, it's all stupidly bureaucratic. I'm honestly amazed at our relief coordinator who keeps track of all these things in her sparetime), so they go from one internship to the next (where they in turn are only allowed to be for a couple of months).

I mean, realistically speaking we won't be able to get every refugee a job, but then, not all Germans have a job either. But we have a problem in our society where we don't have enough young people to fund our pension fund. And suddenly we have an influx of young people.

We have kind of an opposite problem: unemployment is getting worse among the younger people and the lower skill level/entry level jobs are increasingly vanishing, so there are only a few jobs available to recent immigrants (excluding doctors and high-level professionals) and they are facing stiff competition from the people living here.

There's also the possibility that some employers will be using this as an excuse to lower wages, because if the current employees are used to demanding a living wage, the newcomers will be happy with getting paid in peanuts.
