Germany introduces new measures to make country less attractive to migrants • FRANCE 24 English 

Shouldn’t this have been a requirement for asylum seekers in first place..? seeking asylum doesn’t mean you get a freebie lifestyle..

These aren’t refugees. Words have meaning, stop lying.

80 cents per hour to clean their own room, kitchen and toilets. That's insane. I wish my government would pay me 80 cents per hour to clean my own room, kitchen and bathroom.

Why dont they go to rich Saudi, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman..

Your "far right" sounds more like common sense.

Why all young men? 🤔

It is outrageous that illegal immigrants send to their countries the money they got for free from the taxes of the citizens that worked hard.

notice how not wanting to get stabbed gets you labeled as far right extremist?

They are receiving 460 euros of monthly social benefits and one complains that he cannot buy coffee in a neighboring town, but I did not hear him say Thank You for providing your resources.

so they're whining about having to work 20 hours a week to keep their (presumably tax payer funded) accommodation up to scratch, technically they're earning 244 euros a month (84 from working, 180 in benefits) but if you take their accomodation into account its probably more. What whiners I can see why things didn't work out where they came from.

Wow shocking they have zero appreciation. Why are they in Germany? They don’t help Germany at all

How do you claim to be an asylum seeker from Turkey?

stop paying them from your taxpayers money

80 cents per hour however - free food and accommodation

Good to see Europe finally waking up!! Well done!

Wow! I mean… They need to clean their own dirt and not have Germans cleaning for them? That is really incredible!

Too little too late.

This system should be worldwide... genius

The change in refugee policies does not reflect a move to the right per se. It reflects that the population has had enough of uncontrolled migration with the effects that is having on society and only "the right" seems to be listening to them. The centre parties and government have not listened or taken real steps to address the concerns of the people! I say this as a tax paying immigrant in Germany with a tax paying immigrant wife. We both speak German.

As a legal immigrant student myself, i think this was long overdue, i already pay taxes inform of health insurance and so on. I don't want my money to go to terrorists who faked their asylum application. i don't care about how it will affect me personally in future, and i like the political development.

Good. Citizenship is a privilege earned, not a right. And it can be at the discretion of the host nation

Shouldn't this have been done nine years ago, when smugglers specifically used Germany's public aid as an incentive to encourage illegal migration?

Get them out

or maybe......don't let them in at all?

It’s really offensive that when you come to Germany to work with skills the Germans treat you really bad but when you are a “refugee” basically they treat you much better

Imagine them having to pay their own way or atleast some of it... gasp.

They get FREE - accomodation - health care - education - social benefits for their whole life even if they not willing to work Of course they are coming😂😂 All countries should STOP giving them any help They will stop coming

Right, what are they going to do with millions migrants that are already in, and cannot be integrated ❔🤦

Also don't promote your country that much, it not only attracts tourists, it also attracts immigrants.

as my dear old grandad would say. you dont work you dont eat. words to live by.

Complaining, complaining, complaining. These folks are so ungrateful.

better to have less population than losing its culture and soul!!

HEY CANADA, TAKE NOTES

crazy that Germany embraces "asylum seekers" but keep on ignoring tech skilled workers from south east asia

Why did Osama and Muhammad go to Germany?

Is cleaning their own bathroom really a "job" that requires any pay?.. If I was a pensioner in Germany, I'd pissed off and vote for AfD too..

Allow only skilled immigrants who will add value and integrate .

Just one type of migrants!😆 Educated, hard working, law abiding people are welcomed everywhere.

This is Good. This is how you be productive.

Deter illegal migrants. That's should have been the title. One should distinguish between highly qualified migrants as opposed to illegal migrants. Both of these must not be confused. Germany did pass laws to attract the qualified ones which is necessary to support its social systems. Deterring illegal migrants is important, so as to not have a spill over of anti-migrant sentiments over all migrants, which would be a real disaster for Germany.

You do it for 80 cents while getting free room and board.

There is a saying "beggars can't be choosers".

migrants or illegal migrants?

They got a paid job, they got a shelter yet they're still complaining? They're welcome to go back if they dont like it! Gosh I'm glad that Japan has a very strict immigration law !

So they want to get payed for cleaning after themselves 😂?

These seem like fair and generous policies towards persons that claim to be fleeing mortal danger back in their broken home countries. If they don’t like the free money and living in a society with laws they can pack up and head back to Afghanistan and Syria.

Only 4 hours a day?

Seemingly ungrateful, a large majority of the money they make leaves the country back to their families. You wonder why they are trying to lessen the net negative? hmm

This is the last thing they came for - and they will get upset...

"not only far right can come up with a solution, democratic can as well" so what were the politicians doing from 2015, and just come up with a solution now? the countries are already broken. and those who came before and already have permit to stay, what you gonna do with them?not

It should be a must to work while their asylum application is under process in all countries, why do only students have to work to support themselves while these asylum seekers get social money and sleep all day or chase women or hang out with their fellows?????

All I see is dudes. Nothing but dudes.

Complaining about 80 cent per hour payment but does his little brain process he doesn't need to lay for rent food and all other admin fees he is causing??

Just stop letting them in. Rather simple 🇦🇺👍

They are also getting food and board for that labor, and they are likely not even real refugees, but illegal immigrants coming seeking economic opportunity.

80 cents and food, shelter, etc. We have the work requirement in the US too. I support it.

If I just showed up in a new country, I wouldn't expect that I would be able to find a full time job. Sure I would like one, but I wouldn't expect it to be possible

I am a migrant myself. Just not one that stands out in a crowd, having migrated from Europe to USA. Obviously I am in favor of regulated migration, not illegal. But that is One of the problem. Regulations can be installed in good faith, trying to make sense of something that is happening anyway. But most of the time (like here in US) instead of helping integration, they only create new criminals. Involuntary Criminals, that is. The Pursuit of Happiness stated in the American Constitution is not valid if you were born somewhere else. That Pursuit of Happiness was referred to Migrants (from Europe, in that case and time) the sons and daughters of migrants pursuing their own happiness away from home, the Founding Fathers. So regulations are good, if they’re meant to help and coordinate migration. Not if they’re only trying to criminalize poor people looking for a job. The second problem is evidenced in the interviews. Several people talk about “different culture”. Different cultures can coexist, it has happened before. It can work. What it cannot work is coexistence of different religions, when those religions are seen as laws. And this works both ways. Either way, if you try to impose Christian rules or Islamic rules on someone of a different religion, you will have problems. Including rejection and including rebellion. Different cultures can mingle, not different religions.

Send them home

As long as they are not allowed to work regularly, they definitely should work for the community in order to give back what they are granted.

Most migrants sent to Estonia dont stay here because they get little money so they move onwards to Sweden or Finland, even the ukrainian ones

I want to be refugee too. Why do I have to work and give 50% of my salary!? I also want to live without working!

Germans have an extremely good work ethic. Anyone coming to the country expecting free handouts is frowned upon. Everyone has to work to earn a living. Too many of the asylum seekers have lied about their situation. Many are unqualified have nothing to offer. I don't blame Germans at all for being fed up with the immigrants. Every country should prioritise its own people first before thinking of giving assistance to so called asylum seekers. Full credit to Germany for implementing stringent measures.

This should be instituted everywhere

Getting free room and board and money all for 4 hours of work a day and still complaining. That's the kind of attitude Germany is importing.

Lol, it is already not attractive at all for high-skilled specialists. They allow barbarians without any culture from impoverished countries, but making it into Germany as a Scientist/Programmer/Doctor is nearly impossible legally, because of legal obstacles, bureaucracy or low pay!

No end izslamization for UE ?

Long overdue.

We should be doing this in the USA 🇺🇸

Change only happens when the very top has their bottomline affected

I worked as a math teacher in Lebanon, got paid 90 cents per hour.

They will NOT stop coming....until they GET stopped...!!!!!!!

Good. I have lived in countries other than the one I have citizenship in, and would never have dreamed of sponging in any way, let alone sending the money of the taxpayers of that country back to the one I came from. There should be more restrictions than this. Migrants who don't meet legal visa requirements should be blocked from entering and sent home when found.

Honestly, the UIK's ASPEN card shouldn't allow asylum seekers to withdraw their benefits as cash.

They are not working for 80 Cents an hour. They already receive an allowance. The lest They can do is working to pay for themselves.

If you have nothing - 0,80 cents is a lot …

Great decision!

They should be working minimum 10 hr/day in order to receive their benefits.

Aww...I feel so sorry for the "refugees"...NOT.

So they are cleaning their own houses basically? Or are they cleaning toilets in public buildings?

The sense of entitlement is beyond belief!

Really? Do you call it harsh measures? 😂😂😂

This does not seem fair to German citizens.

I think every time when you put people together and give them money you are doing them disservice. Its like living with your parents past your childhood. You dont grow, life doesnt pressure you to grow. It just allows you to be stagnant with some benefits. Its not good. People who want better life in Europe need to work for it. Learn language, educate themselves. Every inch of freedom they have needs to be work for, not given. Its not second childhood they should seek, but just freedom.

If you want to benefit from a society you have to work. Nothing is free in our world.

Why are they describing AFD in those terms? They are right so far.

Exactly what is extreme about sending these people home?

This is the way it should be 🇬🇧

Exactly the ones Germany doesn't need

Its amazing to me that they weren't doing these jobs already, I was a cadet and para and work like this from being young. Making the card payment local is excellent, at least the local community gets the support instead of it spent on weapons/drugs etc.

I am immigrating legally to Germany from America. I had a job lined up before I will arrive , in a valuable needed career field. I started learning the language before arriving , with language and integration classes set up upon arrival. I plan on integrating into their culture. No matter where you come from you owe it to the people of the country you are immigrating to to adopt their societies customs.

Get em litter picking there’s plenty out there

Only 4 hours! That's too much work!

But i thought they love diversity?

I think this is a fair comprimise and what should be done in the USA

If they don’t like it they can go somewhere else

Canada should follow Germany’s policy

Probably a bit late now....

So they go out of their way for €460. Instead of just getting a real job lol. But I’m sure few people want to hire them. They have a reputation for being on lazy side

the level of entitlement is unreal. They're allegedly fleeing war and death, but complain about being asked to clean their living quarters in order to get nearly 700 euros a month. They also complain about not being given cash. They should be GRATEFUL for anything they get
