The German government seems to have taken an knife and slashed open bags of state money to make it that much easier for culture-enrichers to grab as much cash as they need.

This is how much the costs of citizen’s allowance for foreign children have exploded
Billions of euros are at stake: the German state is spending more money on foreign, underage recipients of citizen’s allowance than ever before. An AfD politician has clear words.
Berlin
Last year the German government spent significantly more citizen’s allowance on minors without German citizenship. A total of €3.3 billion was given to foreign children and young people, according to a response from the federal government to a minor inquiry from the AfD parliamentary group. This represents an increase of more than 26% compared to the previous year. In 2015, the asylum crisis year, however, the figure was just under €800 million, when unemployment benefit II was used instead of citizen’s allowance.
German benefit recipients under the age of 18, on the other hand, received around €2.3 billion, more than €400 million less than in 2015. This means that underage recipients with German passports received as much as foreigners from four countries combined. Leading the way were Ukrainian refugees with €1.1 billion, followed by Syrians with €708 million, Afghans with €316.4 million and Iraqis with €158.4 million.
Number of foreigners receiving citizen’s allowance increases
The number of foreign minors who depend on the citizen’s allowance also reached a new record last year. There were around 894,000 people, almost 6,000 more than in 2022. In contrast, the number of benefits recipients with German citizenship fell from around 931,000 to 907,000.
René Springer, the social policy spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group in the Bundestag, voiced clear criticism. “This is not a second economic miracle, but a new underclass and coming social conflicts,” he warned the news portal Nius. On closer inspection, the problem of widespread child poverty turns out to be the result of mass migration. Against this background, the MP spoke out in favor of “rejecting illegal immigrants without exception” before they even cross the border, as well as abolishing the “long-standing and additionally augmented by the traffic light [coalition]” incentives for migration into the social systems.
Afterword from the translator:
It would be common sense not to give them any incentives to come in the first place, but as we all know by now, common sense is frowned upon by the establishment, although they call it racism. |
