Lets make it worse. Government’s answer to everything.
“a limited number”; “ 1,000 close relatives....per month”
Human language is such an imprecise thing. You can say something that appears to mean something, but mean something completely different.
Basically, it adds up to 12,000 a year. If you take the ‘normal’ yearly inflow of migrants, asylum-seekers, and immigrants (from the 1990 era to present)...the average would be around 250,000 to 300,000. There’s maybe three periods (Yugoslavia wars, and this Syria/Iraq war) where the yearly number was not ‘average’ over the 400,000 to 1-million range.
I noticed this past week...a major German article which talked about outflow, where some refugees and migrants have basically had ‘enough’ and given up on the immigration idea. Part of the problem is the complicated nature of German society, but I also think the cost of living made them shake their head over how they’d ever get ahead in Germany.
I wonder how big is Merkel’s security detail to make sure she continues breathing while she destroys Germany?
