Wow. From roughly 800 in 2016 to 1100 this year for the same 8 month period. That’s 300 extra people. That’s almost 0.0001% of the population. Sounds like a mass exodus. /s

Makes me wonder if they are Muslims looking for the sweet life in a Muslim Germany of the future.

If LIBERAL Americans want to expat to Germany, I say let them.

From 0.0003% of the US population to 0.0004%. Stunning.

Billthedrill, Tennessee Nana and dhs12345,

Thank you. I can assure you she knows more about U.S. History than most high school grads. She cracks up about the ‘Certified Navy Spouse’ certificate she received a few years ago, and she’s excited to be one more vote to rid our small VT town of the socialist infestation we have.

"But applications by German stripped of citizenship during the Nazi era and their descendants rose sharply after the U.S. election in early November."

Very interesting.

Can’t help but wonder if they’re wanting to go back to Germany, because they wanted Hillary as a president.

[dhs12345]

No doubt. I have German ancestry. My wife too.
