Asylum seekers SUE Germany for not paying them benefits FAST ENOUGH
|
Around 20 Syrian migrants have filed a case against the Berlin state Government demanding immediate access to shelter and benefits after waiting for more than a week to be registered by the authorities.
| Because after all, a young tough boy of military age in a foreign country not only has the right to benefits, but have them post haste... |
It comes as serious splits emerged in Angela Merkel's Government over how to divide economic migrants from genuine refugees fleeing war-torn countries. Hundreds of asylum seekers are still waiting to be registered due to huge backlogs at the city's main refugee centre.
Huge crowds gather outside every day and many claim they have been waiting for weeks. Until their papers are processed by the State Office for Health and Social Affairs, the refugees have no access to Government refugee shelters or benefits.
See Murphy's rule of subsidizing: 'What you subsidize, you get more of.'
They are effectively homeless with the country's bitter winter just around the corner - and night-time temperatures have already fallen below freezing.

More than 170,000 migrants flooded into Europe last month alone as the continent's unprecedented refugee crisis continues to spiral out of control.
This latest development is likely to raise eyebrows as Germany's controversial policy of welcoming new arrivals with open arms has already been blamed for the shocking numbers. And Mrs Merkel's promise to grant automatic citizenship to refugees was blasted for encouraging more migrants to make the treacherous journey.
The country is now considering setting up "transit zones" on its borders, where migrants would be kept while their asylum claims are assessed.
A few former camps have no doubt come to mind, bad visuals however. Very bad.
However Mrs Merkel said the proposal would only work in certain cases, and would "not help for thousands and thousands of refugees".
