who say Germany belongs to German. Germany belongs to everybody, if u cant accept that, please leave Germany. Go to North pole and live with polar bear.
Germany doesnt BELONG to Germans. Not necessarily. Although yes Germans belong in Germany but as we foreigners come to Germany and find it as our home and respect the laws here..you are allowed to do that too. Be open. Have a big heart =)
Anyway, on the topic, i think the court's decision was good.
Having said that I do agree with the courts decision if he doesn't have German natioanality, it is a risk he took breaking the law of the land which he considered didn't belong to.
On another note, when people talk of parasites sitting on their ass and claim benefits, of all the foreigners that I know they all work and pay taxes for many Germans to sit on their ass and claim benefits. The fact that these real German parasites can vote in the national election yet the tax paying European foreign nationals can't is the biggest discriminatory factor that hinders a sense of belonging.
of causing bodily harm, > than once.)
Sorry I am an American and we have our own immigration problems. but I hope this comment was from non native of Germany. You don't let thieves rob your home to let "nature takes it course" Why would you let people flood in and colonize your country. Don't you understand your position you will be in when you are not the majority anymore? Who will save you?You are an Infidel and less than human to alot of these people you are letting in .At least we are letting in mostly Christians
Europe needs to wake up to the very serious situation it is in.
LOL The USA is a country built on immigration, unless you are a native Indian do you see the irony? :-D
As a Christian or secular European, can you freely move to a Moslem country and claim it as your country? Not a chance.
Wake up before it's too late because multiculturalism does not work, this advise come to you Germans from Southern Africa.
