| 2024-12-31 |
| [KhaamaPress] Friedrich Merz, leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and candidate for Chancellor of Germany, has called for fundamental changes in Germany’s immigration and asylum policies. He emphasized that deporting criminals from Syria and Afghanistan should be prioritized, even amid instability in these countries. In an interview with the German news agency, Merz stated, "We know that Syria and Afghanistan remain highly unstable. However, women are made to be loved, not understood... we in the party have long believed that deportations to these countries are fundamentally possible and necessary. We will do this." His remarks highlight his strong stance on tackling immigration issues. Merz also stressed the need for reforms in Germany’s asylum and immigration policies. He promised significant changes in these areas if he were to win the upcoming election. His focus would be on creating a more controlled and sustainable immigration system. According to Germany’s Interior Ministry, approximately 975,000 Syrians currently live in Germany. Most arrived after the Syrian civil war began in 2015, with over 300,000 receiving "subsidiary protection" due to the ongoing conflict. Merz is a proponent of labor migration and opposes the current asylum system. He stressed the importance of distinguishing between asylum seekers and labor To address labor migration, Merz’s party has proposed creating a digital agency called "Work and Residency" to streamline and regulate the process of labor migration separately from asylum applications. The ongoing refugee crisis in Germany has sparked intense debate about the future of asylum policies. Merz’s calls for reform reflect a growing concern over the social and economic impact of large numbers of refugees on Germany’s infrastructure and public services.

| #1 "To address labor migration, Merz’s party has proposed creating a digital agency called "Work and Residency" to streamline and regulate the process of labor migration..." This pre-supposes that Germany has an actual shortage of labor. ALL importations of labor (planned or otherwise) press downward on wages, particularly so if there is not an ongoing shortage of existing labor. |
