Fast Fact: Germany: High migration intake – low availability of qualified workers

December 14, 2022 By D.A. King

 

“Official data show that only about a third of the roughly 800,000 working-age Syrians and Afghans in Germany have a taxpaying job, compared with two thirds of Germans.”

Wall St. Journal

By Tom Fairless

Germany Is Short of Workers, but Its Migrants Are Struggling to Find Jobs

A magnet for asylum seekers, the country isn’t attracting enough qualified newcomers and is struggling to train the new arrivals

KASSEL, Germany—In 2016, as Middle Eastern refugees fled to Germany in their hundreds of thousands, Ingo Neupert decided to help.

A professor of social work, he started a training program in western Germany for 25 young refugees to become nurses and medical assistants.

Only three of them graduated from the 4½ year program, Mr. Neupert said. In a second, shorter program, about one-third of the candidates reached the end. The project is now on hold, according to Essen University Hospital, western Germany, where it took place.

Germany faces a paradox: After years of record immigration that has seen the equivalent of the population of a large city arrive in the country every year, one in six people in Germany was now born overseas, compared with one in seven in the U.S. 


But unlike the U.S., Germany is failing to find work for the newcomers despite a worsening labor shortage that is stifling economic growth. Europe’s largest economy will in addition need to fill about seven million jobs by 2035 as older workers retire, economists estimate.

Experts have long pointed to immigration as the solution, saying Germany needs some 400,000 skilled immigrants each year.

So far, the current mix of immigrants isn’t filling the gap. Official data show that only about a third of the roughly 800,000 working-age Syrians and Afghans in Germany have a taxpaying job, compared with two thirds of Germans, even though most arrived over five years ago. Unemployment among foreigners is about 12%, and under 5% for Germans. In the U.S., foreigners are more likely to have jobs than locals.

The main problem: Many refugees are poorly suited for jobs in Germany’s highly skilled labor market and Germany hasn’t been very good at training them… more here.

Immigration amnesty: Republican GA radio show host Martha Zoller interviews illegal alien FWD.us lobbyist guest (part one of two) — #JaimeRangel *Updated

https://immigrationpoliticsga.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Jaime-Rangel-Zoller.-Dec-12-2022-1-1.m4a

It should be noted here that contrary to the labels presented on Martha Zoller’s radio show today, the amnesty legislation (there would be zero hearings) being discussed in the U.S. Senate will not be limited to DACA recipients. I called in and went on the air with Martha to say exactly that. I am grateful to Martha for taking the call. I am in hopes of posting that conversation here but need to access Martha’s podcast to do it.

*Updated: Martha did not include my on air call correcting the Rangel interview on the amnesty proposal being only for DACA recipients in her podcast. I did find a segment of here show the day after the Rangel interview in which she had more to say on her personal position on amnesty and “the likes of D.A. King.” You can hear that one and read as transcript here. Because of the results on the one-time amnesty of 1986, I am in the “amnesty-never” camp. Republican radio host Martha Zoller isn’t.

We had an exchange on Twitter this evening.

 

Martha had more to say about amnesty than what is included on her “show clips” that features the interview/sales pitch from FWD.us lobbyist Jaime Rangel. I am waiting to find the podcast of today’s show and will post the entire segment of the show in which Martha opined on the need for amnesty as a trade for a promise of future border security from the Biden administration. There is more.

Transcript:

“Martha Zoller – GOP radio show host:

Jaime Rangel’s joining me right now from Forward, and we’re gonna talk about this framework related to DACA, and, um, you know, it’s one of probably, uh, the most sympathetic groups of people that there are related to illegal immigration in America. Uh, and it’s something we’ve been talking about for a long time. And Jaime, first of all, thank you for coming in today, um, or being on the program today. Uh, it is something that people need to- to understand because we’ve been talking about this for a long time. There have been several solutions put on the table. Where are we today?

Jaime Rangel, illegal alien, DACA recipient and FWD.us lobbyist:

Well, first of all, thank you, Martha and all you for allowing me to be here this morning, and God bless you, to you and all your viewers out there. Where we are now, we’re in a, in a, in a position where there’s an opportunity to finally do something on DACA. Uh, recently, um, as you might have heard on the news, uh, Senator Sinema and Senator Tillis of North Carolina and Arizona have, uh, given a potential framework where a compromised legislation is possible. And at Forward, not only just at Forward, but as someone who is a DACA recipient myself, we’re encouraged by the reported talks and the bipartisan progress that’s being made right now.

And listen, Martha, like, you mentioned, you know, the American people want solutions. The issue o- of DACA is, you know, people support it and that will always support it. In fact, recent polling as of like 12 days ago I believe shows that overwhelmingly, including 70% of self identified conservatives support Republicans and Democrats working together now on immigration reform that’s strengthening the border. And allow people who were brought to this county, like myself, you know, to allow us to be a part of, continue being a part of the American dream. That’s what the American people want. And we need Congress to act now.

Martha Zoller – GOP radio show host:

And I don’t disagree with you. You and I have talked about this for a long time. There have been opportunities in the past. And I don’t wanna belabor the past because the past is the past. We got a new group of players right now and hopefully they’ll do things. But, you know, whether it’s DACA, whether it’s codifying Roe V Wade, whether it is, um, dealing with a number of other issues that we have. There are too many people in Congress that would rather have it an iss- as an issue to talk about, and to raise money off of, than to actually find a solution. And until we get past that place in, in our history, um, we’re not gonna get the work done that we need to get done.

I don’t disagree. I mean I was in favor of what former President Trump put forward. Where I felt like it was a great compromise, where it was money for border security in exchange for the DACA, um, uh, the legalization of DACA kids and their parents. And, and of course that didn’t go through and I don’t wanna belabor the point because it’s a different administration, a different Congress. So what does this particular, uh, situ- framework, as they’re calling it, look like?

Jaime Rangel:

Well we don’t have anything in text so far right now, Martha. You know, they’re still working out the details. So I can’t really go into detail about something that I have, we have not seen on paper. But what I can tell your viewers is right now more than any other situation that we’ve had in the past, as I mentioned last time I was on your show, DACA’s under real threat in the courts. We’ve already seen that Judge Hanen out of Texas is more than likely gonna rule that DACA, um, the program itself is un-constitution. And the pathway through the courts, it does not work well.

So what does that mean down the road? Well it means that dreamers won’t be able to go to their jobs, they won’t be able to go to the hospital, where they’re being employed right now and helping the state. They won’t be able to go to our classes right now to teach the next generation of Americans. We’re looking at about, you know, one billion dollars being lost in the month in the US economy and the 1,000 people being pulled out of the workforce. And that’s real, that’s a real problem. In Georgia, we have 20,000 DACA recipients in this state who have a spending power of 1.3 billion, contribute over $100,000,000 in taxes. And we want these, we want, uh, we wanna stay in this state. We wanna stay in this country.

You know, I was brought to this, uh, this country when I was only a toddler. I took my first steps in American soil. I grew up and to this day will stand up and pledge to the greatest flag on Earth, and we need Congress to do something because there is a, a real threat. Um, and the what do, do we, you know, do we want our economy to grow stronger and for th- us to continue [inaudible 00:04:27], um, building jobs in our nation, or do we wanna deport, you know, 600,000 individuals back to a country that they don’t even know.

I think we should do what Ronald Reagan is protect and pass on lovingly that shiny city on that front, shiny city on a hill, and I know we have an opportunity with this framework. I’m encouraging all US Senators in our, in our Congress, congressional delegation in the house to get together. Enough with the finger pointing. We need y’all to negotiate, and we need you negotiating now.

Martha Zoller – GOP radio show host:

So what would you like to see? If you, you don’t have anything in writing, but what would you like to see?

Jaime Rangel:

I wanna see something that’s bipartisan, that’s well negotiated in a good faith effort that will pass the US Senate. We need 10 Republicans to come on board. We’ve, we’ve had I believe Republicans that have spoken favorably of dreamers in the past. And I believe the votes are there. We just need our senators in our, in our congress and DC to work together.

And we the American people have spoken. Like I mentioned, polling has showed that over 70% vote conservative and [inaudible 00:05:26] have supported do- dreamers in the past, and they want bipartisan solutions. The American people have spoken, and we want Congress to act. So that’s what I want. I want people to do the job they were elected to do.

Martha Zoller – GOP radio show host:

Jaime Rangel from forward.us, uh, we appreciate you being with us today and talking about this very important subject. Thank you.

Jaime Rangel:

Thank you so much Martha. God bless.

Should the U.S. increase or decrease immigration numbers? The Islander #JoeGuzzardi

December 8, 2022 By D.A. King

 

  • A version of the below column is also in the Dec. 12, 2022 edition of The Islander newspaper in Brunswick – St. Simons Island, GA.

 

A letter sent to the editor of another publication by my old friend Joe Guzzardi and a public wish from a Biden administration official led me to devote this week’s space to presenting a question: Should the U.S. increase or decrease immigration numbers?

First, a graph from my friends at Washington’s Center for Immigration Studies and then Joe’s letter:

I was born in Los Angeles during the mid-1940s. You may know that at the time Los Angeles County was the nation’s leading ag producer. We have pictures in the family album of my parents, my siblings and me picnicking on Malibu Beach without another soul in sight. Back then, California’s population was about seven million people; today, Los Angeles County’s population alone approaches 10 million, and the state is hovering around 40 million.

My father took an overseas assignment in the mid-1950s, and I was away from California for three decades. When I returned in the mid-1980s, I didn’t recognize my home state. The population had exploded, and continues to grow today. The California Department of Finance projects that by mid-century, California’s population will grow to 50 million people, a 25 % increase. Imagine, if you can, 25 % more vehicles on California’s freeways. I did imagine California’s crowded future, and left for low-growth Pittsburgh in 2008.

Much of California’s population growth is, according to the Census Bureau, driven by immigration and births to immigrants. But to be perfectly clear, I have no objections to the arriving immigrants. I, however, oppose unchecked population growth—the exact problem that the federal government refuses to even mention out loud. Ask any of the 100 U.S. Senators what the country’s population policy is, and they would be mute. To its shame, Congress has no population policy, and therefore doesn’t consider unchecked growth’s long-term consequences… I miss California’s yesteryear and count myself fortunate to have lived during a period when California was truly the Golden State. If time machines could make it possible, I’d return to the 1950s Los Angeles in the blink of an eye. But I never even consider visiting today’s City of Angeles.” – Joe Guzzardi, Bradfordwoods, PA

____

Now let’s look at a recent quote on immigration goals from the U.S. Secretary of Labor, Martin Walsh:

We’ve seen a lack of immigration in our country over last five years, and it’s something that has to be addressed and hopefully the next Congress will have a good conversation and address that issue.”

The fact is that in the last five years we have taken in more than five million legal immigrants – foreigners who come lawfully with the intention of permanent residence. Then there are “guest workers” to count. The Council on Foreign Relations says “nearly 550,000 visas were granted in 2021, down from some 846,000 in 2019.”

Now illegal immigration from CIS.org: “Based on court documents from Texas v. Biden, Center for Immigration Studies Resident Fellow (and former immigration judge) Andrew Arthur reports 1.3 million individuals have been released into the country at the southern border since the beginning of the Biden administration. Media accounts also indicate that there may have been roughly 900,000 “got-aways” in FY 2021 and FY 2022 — illegal border-crossers observed by the Border Patrol but not apprehended.”

Last month (Nov, 2022) more than 73,000 illegal aliens evaded Border Patrol agents according to new federal data. That’s the highest number ever recorded at the southern border.

While we are endlessly assured that we are “a nation of immigrants,” has anyone else noticed that nobody in government ever asks Americans how many immigrants we want?

It’s OK to have that conversation.

US Border Patrol agent killed chasing illegal aliens in Texas

December 7, 2022 By D.A. King

 

New York Post

Dec. 7, 2022

A US Border Patrol agent was killed in an accident while chasing a group of illegal immigrants, according to a Texas congresswoman.

The agent, Raul Gonzalez, was involved in a chase near Mission, Texas, Wednesday when he crashed his all-terrain vehicle, the chief of Border Patrol tweeted.

The 38-year-old agent was traveling at high speed when he crashed into a gate, according to Fox News. The father of two was taken by fellow agents to the hospital, where he later died.

“The death of an agent who dies while securing our nation’s border is a tremendous loss to our organization and our nation,” said US Border Patrol Chief Agent Raul Ortiz.

Gonzalez is the sixth Border Patrol agent to die on the job this year, according to agency statistics.

This year has been less deadly than previous years, as the agency saw 35 killed in the line of duty in 2021.

Erick Erickson: “…I am a proponent of, of more immigration in this country, qualified and skilled workers.”

December 3, 2022 By D.A. King

Erick Erickson podcast

Below transcript by Rev.com

“More and more layoffs are starting to happen.”

Erick Erickson Dec 2, 2022, hour 3:

 

Begin topic:

“… so there’s a weird problem happening in this country that no one can seem to figure out. Where are all the workers going? The data suggests a lot of early retirements. That people decided to retire and not come back in. And a lot of kids, younger people, are staying in school. We’re in population decline to a degree as well. And so we don’t have workers, qualified workers, in particular, to fill a lot of jobs, and that’s going to have economic problems in this country. And, of course, the usual suspects are already out there saying, “Well, if we just open the borders, if we open the borders, everything will be fine. We’ll, we’ll be able to take care of this.” And I don’t necessarily think that’s the answer.

Uh, I, look, I am a proponent of, of more immigration in this country, qualified and skilled workers. Uh, as long as they don’t come from China these days, unless they’re fleeing Chinese communist persecution. Too many of them I think are coming over here with the encouragement of the Chinese government and eventually go back, we shouldn’t do that, but we’re going to have to come up with some way to find more workers for this country.

It is one of the weird side effects of the inflation dynamic is that, uh, part of the reason we’re seeing inflation is companies are having to pay much higher wages to incentivize people either coming back to work from retirement or getting new people to come into the office who otherwise aren’t working. They’re in college, and they’re incentivizing people dropping out. Major companies in the country right now, including, I think I read, uh, Walmart, Delta, and, and several others, IBM are ditching college requirements for more jobs. Used to have to have a college degree to get into certain sectors of the economy and certain, uh, departments of major corporations. Not anymore.

These companies are saying they need all the workers they can get and they’re taking life experience over college degree just to be able to fill positions. If we can’t get a handle of the labor crisis, and we do have a labor force participation shortage in this country and it’s becoming a crisis, we’re gonna have more, and more problems and we’re not gonna be able to get rid of inflation. Uh, bargain a major economic meltdown. The Fed is still going to raise interest rates, uh, in the coming month, probably not as much as they were. On top of that, pending home sales are starting to crash. They’re down 37% year-over-year, the largest decline on record. The economy is starting to go wobbly and slow down.

More and more layoffs are starting to happen. Uh, we got problems out there in the country right now economically, and uh, we’ll see how successful the Democrats could be at blaming Republicans. Typically …the President gets the blame. And what’s happening is what was predicted. Even as Joe Biden tells people his economy is rebounding, which it isn’t.

When we come back, we gotta talk about Sam Bateman Fried  and the media scam.”

Case against Carroll County BOC on illegal immigration laws sent to District Attorney

November 30, 2022 By D.A. King

“The Governor shall take care that the laws are faithfully executed and shall be the conservator of the peace throughout the state.” Section ll, Paragraph ll of the Georgia Constitution.

 

Another month, another column, and another reminder that Georgia has a significant illegal immigration problem. And that nobody in state government is checking on compliance with laws put in place to fight that organized crime.

There is an old saying that “no good deed goes unpunished.” It is difficult to convey the level of frustration this writer has experienced in the process of simply trying to warn the Carroll County Board of Commissioners and the county attorneys that they are in violation of state laws aimed at protecting public benefits, tax dollars and deterring illegal immigration.

I started my Carroll County project early in 2022. As I write on November 29, they are still in violation.

To review, the simplified, short version is that the state legislature has put in place multiple laws over the years that essentially require applicants for public benefits to swear under penalty of felony false swearing that they are not illegal aliens. And offices that administer these benefits collect the standardized paperwork on which these oaths are given along with “secure and verifiable ID” from the potential benefit recipient.

Some business owners are supposed to swear to use of the no cost federal E-Verify system before they are issued or renew a business license as are public contractors who want to bid on taxpayer-funded jobs. Carroll County isn’t following the law.

Yes, I am aware of how dull a topic all of this can be. The alternative to having a system in place to try to keep illegals from accessing the jobs and benefits meant for legal residents creates a place that looks a lot like California. Voters who don’t want to press their state officials to audit and enforce these laws should get accustomed to Georgia becoming more and more like that declining state out west.

Last month I described the fact that Carroll County had sent me a completely unrelated document when I filed an open records request to see a sample of a contractor E-Verify affidavit. Later in the month I received an email note from a county attorney, Ms. Stacey Blackmon, along with a different form she said was actually what the county was using. It was wrong as well. It was taken from a 2007 format and version of the law that has been changed four times since 2007. She said she has been using it since 2016.

Ms. Blackmon’s note and my reply can be read on the ImmigrationPolicitsGA.com website under “Article roundup – Carroll County government in violation of state laws on illegal immigration/public benefits.”  My previous columns on this are also posted there for readers who want to catch up.

As I have written here before, I have filed a complaint against the BOC with Sheriff Langley and asked him to forward it to the GBI. I am told he sent it to the District Attorney, Mr. Herb Cranford. We’ll see what happens. While we wait, let’s all make a list of the laws we are allowed to violate without any consequences repeatedly and publicly.

I close by repeating my educated warning to voters from my previous columns on this topic: While the District Attorney for Carroll County may prosecute this case, there will be no meaningful change in the attitude of “business first” state officials on auditing compliance and enforcing the many illegal immigration – related state laws unless and until voters raise their voices to their state legislators and the governor. The powerful anti-enforcement lobby under the Gold Dome has seen to that fact.

I have complied a long list of these laws that are ignored by Gov. Kemp. There is more of this coming.

D.A. King is an authority on illegal immigration matters and has assisted state lawmakers with related legislation under the Gold Dome since 2005. This column went to press on November 29, 2022.

Erick Erickson on “school choice” – no mention of the illegal immigration invasion and excluding illegals this time, Nov. 18, 2022

November 20, 2022 By D.A. King

Erick Erickson. Photo: Wikipedia.

We have noticed that most of the people pushing “school choice” are careful not to acknowledge the ongoing invasion at the southern border.

We remember a different quote from EWE on the same topic.

Related: Here is what a pro-enforcement conservative voter wrote to his local newspaper in Georgia on that lunacy.

The below was transcribed by Rev.com from the Erick Erickson radio show on WSB radio in Atlanta on Nov 18, 2022.

____

Erick Erickson (host):

“Erick Erickson here. Uh, there is some news Republicans nationwide should pay attention to. School choice motivated midterm voters in school superintendent races around the country. Even USA Today is noticing this. Americans are divided on school choice, that was reflected in their votes last week. Seven states chose state school superintendents, schools with robust school choice programs like Arizona voted in candidates who support it. Uh, Oklahoma ushered in new leaders who believe they could give school voucher options for the first time. Oklahoma’s incoming state school superintendent is Ryan Walters, a Republican.

He campaigned on giving parents the option of school vouchers to decide where their kids to go to school and to take public money along with them to a private school, religious school, or homeschool program if that’s their choice. He was one of a small number of state superintendents elected last week who’s an advocate of school choice and whose backing of powerful groups of politicians, uh, are calling it a school choice wave. Uh, unfortunately in Georgia it was the Democrat who’s the school choice advocate. And she lost to the Republican, all the Republicans in Georgia won. Um, but there is a pattern shaping up that you really need to pay attention to.

Republicans around the country are starting to realize they can win longterm if they embrace school choice. And it is my hope that in my state of Georgia and others, Republicans will realize this is really a winning issue for you. Not only is it a winning issue, but over time, uh, you as a Republican, uh, will see your share of the vote grow. Look at what happened in, um, Florida. There was a conversion of African American and Hispanic voters towards the GOP. And a lot of that had to do with Black and Hispanic parents not wanting their children to have to go back into public schools after being given options for private schools. And you had Charlie Crist of the Democrats campaigning on shutting down school choice in Florida.

Once you give this entitlement to parents, they’re not gonna vote Democrat if the Democrats try to reverse it. And even in Arizona where they went with a Democrat over Kari Lake, they went with Katie Hobbs, they elected a Republican school, uh, superintendent for the state to make sure school choice happens. Republicans, I’m telling you, you’re crazy if you don’t push school choice in your state. Georgia Republicans need to pay attention.

Now, before I get out of here, I need to tell you…

My reply to Carroll County Attorney Re: OCGA 13-10-91 Contractor Affidavit in use since 2016

November 17, 2022 By D.A. King

Carroll County government still in violation of state law aimed at illegal immigration

Below is my reply to the email sent to me by Ms. Stacey Blackmon which is pasted below with a screen shot of the affidavit in question. Here is a link (again) to what we think is the correct affidavit form.

  • Related: Previously posted information on Carroll County

____

Ms. Blackmon,

Thank you for your reply and added information. I am assuming there was a mistake in the response to my original open records request.

Please be advised that the affidavit form you sent me and derived from Ga Comp. R. & Regs. 300-10-1-.07 is modeled on language from the 2006 SB 529 and the first version of OCGA 13-10-91. That statute was changed four times after the original 2006 passage. I worked on the original legislation and on each change. Please see the “history” at the bottom of the Lexis Nexis page for OCGA 13-10-91.

If this is the affidavit form you have been using for Carroll County public contractor bids relative to the law since 2016 as stated in your email, Carroll County is in clear violation and has been since at least 2013. As you can see noted on the bottom of the page from the outside source of your version, the affidavit you report using is from 2007.

Current language (since 2013) requires the following:

(b)

(1) A public employer shall not enter into a contract for the physical performance of services unless the contractor registers and participates in the federal work authorization program. Before a bid for any such service is considered by a public employer, the bid shall include a signed, notarized affidavit from the contractor attesting to the following:

(A) The affiant has registered with, is authorized to use, and uses the federal work authorization program;

(B) The user identification number and date of authorization for the affiant;

(C) The affiant will continue to use the federal work authorization program throughout the contract period; and

(D) The affiant will contract for the physical performance of services in satisfaction of such contract only with subcontractors who present an affidavit to the contractor with the same information required by subparagraphs (A), (B), and (C) of this paragraph.

_

As I wrote in my latest column with a link to the lawful affidavit (one that requires contractors to swear to all requirements to bid on a contract for services) the correct affidavit form looks like this. As is, it seems Carroll County is in violation and has no apparent legal recourse to sanction contractors who violate the law because Carroll County doesn’t require them to swear to all of the bid requirements stated in the law.

Please let me know if you disagree as I will be writing about this situation again in December.

Respectfully,

D.A. King
