New data shows immigrants are driving down wages for German workers

[REMIX] The left-liberal German government’s immigration policy is depressing wages for skilled German workers, says Alternative for Germany (AfD) social affairs expert René Springer. He adds that even though the government poses as a left-wing champion, its actual economic policy is aggressive neo-liberalism.

"The state is now only a vicarious agent of a neo-liberal policy to lower wage costs on the backs of employees," the member of the Bundestag told German news portal Junge Freiheit.

Springer’s request to the federal government inquiring about the wage differences between Germans and foreigners, which the government answered, was made exclusively available to Junge Freiheit. According to the government report, German employees earned an average of €3,643 in 2021, more than €900 higher than foreigners, who have an average salary of €2,728. The gap has more than doubled since 2012, when it was €400 per month.

#1 "The state is now only a vicarious agent of a neo-liberal policy to lower wage costs on the backs of employees"

Ja, Wir fühlen Ihren Schmerz (Yes, we feel your pain). It should come no surprise that there are many other "neo-liberal policies" in play as well.

#2 Flood the market with supply/labor and the costs go down. The Left still hasn't figured that out and continue to collude with those who use lots of labor. WHo is using who?

#3 Seems to be the plan here as well.

#4 So you have inflation on one end and lower wages on the other, energy shortages and a frickin' cold winter on the way. What could go wrong?
