Major new crackdown on "benefits tourism" also to include bans on re-entering Germany for five years and direct funding to impoverished

Germany has announced plans to deport welfare cheats from other European Union countries as part of a major new crackdown on "benefits tourism".

Angela Merkel's government wants to expel immigrants from other EU countries who lie or use fraudulent means to claim benefits in Germany, and block the worst offenders from re-entering the country for up to five years.

"Freedom of movement is a vital part of European integration, to which we are fully committed," the German Interior Minister, Thomas de Maiziere, told reporters, introducing the proposed new measures. "Nevertheless, we must not close our eyes to the problems associated with it." The European Commission yesterday welcomed the German proposals, and said it would "carefully assess the draft legal measures announced today to ensure their strict compliance with EU law".

Believe it or not, here in NYS, in the early 1800’s, we kicked out people who were looking for a handout.

- Obama’s brother and family in Kenya - buying and selling women as slaves?

- Obama must “get a piece of the action”

- Is that where Moochelle came from?

Isn't it a bit on the non PC side? We need more non PC types on our side as well.

Socialism does not work. Eventually you end up with more “takers” then “producers”

An analogy would be a small boat that safely holds four. It could in a pinch, handle five, maybe six. But if you keep letting people into the boat, eventually it will sink taking all with it.

Governments showing “compassion” for some with other people’s money is not compassion, it is theft.

Just because the government does it, does not make it right.

Welfare as we know it today, will end. How painful it gets when it ends depends on how long it survives.
