Germans leaving 'in droves' amid fallout from Angela Merkels open door migrant policy

[PureQ]

As more than one million migrants arrived in Germany in the last year, new data reveals 138,000 Germans left in 2015.

More than 1.5million Germans have left the country in the last decade, with many of them highly educated.

Academics and students are among the Germans deciding to move leaving holes in the local economy.

Statistics released by German statistics agency Destatis said the number of people arriving in Germany “was as high as never before” with the increase in numbers “due to increased immigration of foreign nationals”.

The number of migrants expected to arrive in Germany is set to continue, according to officials.

Frank-Jürgen Weise, the head of the country's migration office, BAMF, predicted at least 300,000 more migrants will arrive in Germany in 2016.

As the migrant crisis engulfs the EU, German Chancellor Mrs Merkel has seen her popularity plunge to a record low.

Demonstrations have been held against her as the right-wing Alternative for Deutschland party made significant gains in the Berlin elections.

The under-fire Chancellor has joined forces with her European counterparts to step up their efforts to curb illegal migration from African countries with the aim of replicating their success in halting inflows from Turkey over the past year.

While migrants reaching Greece from Turkey have dropped to a trickle after a deal with Ankara in March, arrivals in Italy from Africa are increasing so far this year.

To curb flows along the so-called central Mediterranean route, where thousands of migrants drown every year as they make the dangerous journey, the EU is offering trade deals and investment to African countries.

Mrs Merkel said: "It is not just about money, it is about substantially improving the capabilities and the chances of people in these African countries and to give hope.”

Her comments come as it emerged more than 17,000 refugees have successfully sued the German government for granting them only partial asylum status.

The backlash has continued with not only German nationals leaving, but foreign nationals, who have lived in Germany for decades, calling for Mrs Merkel to deport migrants who have arrived in the last two years saying the crisis has wrecked their standard of living.

1.5 million Germans migrated beacuse they hate immigrants, so they become one . The irony

They go to countries like the US so I do not think they're racially motivated .

Well...it makes sense. Educated Germans come to the United states, and the arabs immigrants will go to Germany and do the manual work. Its a good exchange.

Nonsense. Most of the groups who ran with this exaggerated stories are the xenophobic bigots who hate any non-white individual in Europe. There are no facts presented in this case, and most of the claims made by the far right in Europe can't stand up to scrutiny.

What is weird about this thread is you have Somali and Ethiopians cheering for the racist, anti-immigrant Islamophobes. Make no mistake about it; if the far right wins in Europe and America, the little paper that is duped naturalized citizen won't save you. You'll share the same fate as the new immigrant that you hate.

The rich affluent people in the world have always been nomadic, they have multiple citizenships, properties and wealth in different nations across the globe, if the sedentary germans who have their roots in farming culture decide to move it will not be good news for their bosses, but go ahead, we somalis have been doing this for the last 2 decades. I doubt the ordinary germans are well equipped to survive abroad, they will find it hard to consolidate their identity and even worse they will be exploited by their adopted countries.
