Chancellor Olaf Scholz (Socialist Democrat party) claims 9 million foreign nationals are employed, but way less less than half of that figure actually have a job. Scholz has campaigned for a reform of citizenship laws and easier naturalizations, but has argued in favor of this with extremely exaggerated figures.
REMIX News At an event organized by the federal government’s integration minister, Reem Alabali-Radovan (SPD), entitled “Germany: An immigration country,” he doubled the number of foreign nationals actually working in Germany, according to a fact-check by German newspaper, Junge Freiheit.
According to official figures, a total of 11.8 million foreigners currently reside in Germany. If 9 million were actually working here, this would equate to an employment rate among migrants of 76.3 percent. However, in Germany as a whole, only 40.7 percent of all residents are employed and subject to social insurance contributions. The rest are children, pensioners, the unemployed, and welfare recipients. According to the Federal Statistical Office, the rate of foreign non-Germans working in Germany is below average at 38.5 percent.
Scholz said, “Nine million citizens live and work in our country without having German citizenship.” Subsequently, almost all media have adopted this claim. The figure is significant because Scholz linked it to his main argument that “those who live and work here permanently should also be able to vote and be elected. “They should be part of our country with all the rights and duties that go with it – and completely independent of origin, skin color or religious confession,” he added.
Plans put forward by Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) would see foreign nationals naturalized after five years of residence in Germany, instead of the current eight years. In addition, it is to be generally permitted in the future for them to have multiple citizenships. This was also emphasized yesterday by Chancellor Scholz in the matter of naturalizations: “As far as multiple citizenships is concerned: I have never understood why we insisted on (just one). After all, belonging and identity are not a zero-sum game,” he said.

That is not new here in germanistan and is the norm since 2015 were merkel (the most powerfull woman on earth NYT.) tore down our borders and told us that we are not allowed to defend our border and all must be let in. At this time there were about 1.5 million that came and from that 1.5 million about 50.000 are in work but the work is financed from the state. The laws of my land have been broken and set out and when anybody (afd) wants to go back to respecting our constitution and laws then you are a nazi reichsburger and more. Soon the party will end then the payer cant pay the bill and that will be the startingbell for the hour of power, may she shine on all of us. Note that germany takes in every year about 1 million and this year with the ukraine we have 2 million but we have no hauses and our money is getting thin, our children are being raped and murdered but all that is nothing more than a german and is not worthy to discuss. They must lie so that they can steal our homelands.

Maybe, but I don’t think Hitler would have wanted all these Muslims, at least, not once he got rid of all the Jews.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
Here you are wrong then hitler was friends with the grand mufti and he even had islamic battalions fighting for him. The socialist allways likes the islam because the islam is in all living areas and dominates all. Note the socialist will allways be friends with groups that are against the country and her population.

Eventually, the name and/or ethnicity will be posted by someone…other than the media.
Smooth Lee says
And as we know, that “someone” could become at risk of being investigated for it being considered hate by authorities.
BareNakedIslam says
Yep.
