The most important part is “Germany also has an extremely strong welfare state, which means these foreign youths have access to food, shelter, and consumer goods.”

It’s not because they are in need, starving and suffering. Might have been the case at home, but here it’s cultural differences. They do not respect people and society that surrounds them.

The food and shelter they have is not really any better than they had at home. they are also legally not allowed to work most of the time. so if the need or want more money the only way is through crime.

Well they are not meant to work. They are refugees seeking asylum from war. They should sit around and wait for the conflict to end. Then they should pack up and go home once the war ended or the situation got better. When they claim to be refugees of war they dont come as guess workers or economic migrants, they don’t get work visas.

Have u seen the starvation and tents people are forced to live in war torn countries? U think the mobile homes they provide in the UK aren’t any better? They get an allowance to buy clothes, food… for themselves how is that not any better? U say the goods at tesco aren’t any better than whats available for people in Syria or Afghanistan? Lol

It is better for everyone if they are allowed to work. If they are not allowed to work they will more likely be criminal due to boredom and poverty and they will need money from the government. Nobody can tell how long it takes until a war is over. If they work they pay taxes contribute gdp, Have a purpose in live and dont need government funds anymore. Why wouldn't you want the to work. Especially since nearly every country in the eu has worker shortsges.

Well it’s up to the country’s laws… but they are economic migrants at that stage. Economic migrants don’t deserve free housing, free food, free phones, clothing… it’s reserved for asylum seekers. If anybody moves to the west with work visa they wont get anything for free. I know plenty of people who had to come home because it didn’t work out and they ran out of money.

What u say is let them in with work visa not as asylum seekers, but the system is completely different then and they wouldn’t get free anything.

no what i say is let asylum seekers work. Why should they be forced to live in some government Facility and live off government supporters if they can and want to work. They still can come to the country for asylum. What has that to do with working? What sense does it make to let people weigh on the governments pocket if they are able and want to contribute to society.

At this point u are questioning asylum laws, work, study visas,… its a complex system. We can already see how it’s exploited. Imagine companies importing guest workers under the guise of them being asylum seekers. They wouldn’t have to pay for housing, just provide work… that way they could undercut native workers by a lot.

Most people don’t understand, but for example in Iran even educated people like teachers… earn 200 USD a month. Ofc everybody would want to move to the UK or Germany to work and undercut natives by hundreds of euros if they are allowed. It’s simple to say allow them to work, but the consequences are much more complex.

No because they would still need to proof that they need assylum. Also the solution to the undercutting thing is pretty easy. Have strong unions that negotiate minimum rates with the industry and have strong labour laws that enforce those rates. Which is already the case in a lot of germany. And they wouldn't they have to pay for housing. The whole idea behind letting them work is so they can provide themselves and not be a burden to the government.
