&gt; Public finances are stretched due to refugee inflows<p>Pfft. Get real.<p>Germany has survived an influx of 10 million refugees in the immediate aftermath of WW2 and created the Wirtschaftswunder in passing while rebuilding the whole country.<p>Germany has survived the reunification and integration of 16 million communists (going by the right-wing, the only worse subhumans than foreigners) with a dead industry, and became the economic powerhouse of and dominating power in Europe while eating up the reunification&#x27;s 2 trillion Euro cost.<p>Half a million refugees are a rounding error in our budgets.
