Over a million migrants arrived in Germany from the Middle East and North Africa in 2015, and stats from the German statistical service Destatis have confirmed that 138,000 German citizens left the country in search of greener pastures in the same period. Anecdotal evidence suggests many are simply fed up with the government’s immigration policy.
According to calculations by Die Welt, over 1.5 million Germans, many of them well-educated specialists, have left the country over the last decade, with the outflow accelerating with the refugee crisis facilitated by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open door immigration policy.
Meanwhile, experts have indicated that many of the country’s new residents do not have any education to speak of, and that many migrants are not eager to be integrated into German society or the economy, with social conditions making them prone to crime.
The German government has begun a campaign to force some of the newcomers to leave, drafting legislation which would force those who are not eligible for asylum status to exit. But authorities’ efforts to curb immigration are facing only partial success. In August, German Migration Service head Frank-Juergen Weise told local media that another 300,000 migrants were likely to arrive in the country before the year is out.
