I couldn't agree more!
According to the German press, e.g. ZEIT, SPIEGEL, FAZ, many German
communities are terribly concerned that the increased presence of the children of non-German-
speaking foreigners in the elementary school classroom, typically children of migrants, is gradually
lowering the level of education in order to accomodate the migrants, apparently to the disadvantage
of native German pupils.

Hey, Rich!
The only sewer here is coming from your keypad.
A true Trump supporter.
He has no respect for the English language either:
"Folks, I think we're doin' fantastic! I mean, really,
fantastic, isn't it? You see, the Left is evil, folks, really,
the country's fantastic, our GDP's fantastic....."
Yep, that's the Donald.

It's as I just posted in #36; there's got to be a pan-European solution or none at all.
Trump couldn't care less about Europe's problems anyway.
A typical "Don't do, delegate!" executive type.

Obviously, no one EU-country can "solve" the migration issue.
EU-Commission head Ursula von der Leyen has stressed on more than
one occasion that it is NOT up to The Federal Republic alone to determine
migrant policy in Europe; every member nation must bear equal burden!
Trite as all this sounds, Macron and Starmer keep pointing fingers at Merz
who keeps trying to deflect blame and so it all seems like just another never-
ending blame game.

@Rich,
That's the point, they don't!
It's all a question of importing cheap labor,
much as it is in the US. Only difference is that
we can absorb them better because of our size:-)

Considering what Germany went through, directly after the war and well into the late '70's following the
notorious Auschwitz Trials of the Camp guards, functionaries etc. small wonder the Federal Gov't reacts
to things tainted with Faschism as it does!

Solid point, Tacitus.
I certainly can't, nor would I, argue with your last statement.
Along with Filbinger, the likes of Luebke, Kiesinger, even Karl Karstens,
clearly left a lot to be desired, pointing once again to the deeply divided
nature of post-war German politics!

Adenauer though, while effective as a manager, had numerous blind spots,
not the very least of which was the appointment to various government posts
of former top Nazis, among them of course, Dr. Theodor Oberlaender, above all,
one of the drafters of the Nueremberg Laws, Dr. Hans Globke!
His defense of course, was that as most of those competent to lead Germany had been killed
during the war, any able-minded, experienced professional, needed to be called in
to serve in the West German government, no matter what.
As I recall reading as well as having spoken with historians of the period, e.g. the late Andreas
Hillgruber, Adenauer typically would brook no opposition to his policies.
However, Jews were immensely fond of Adenauer, looking at him as a sort of German
FDR, who met with Ben Gurion when no other German leader would, as well as appointing
the first post-war German ambassador to Israel, Dr. Rolf Pauls.
A deeply flawed, but highly clever man, Konrad Adenauer.

Your first sentence should read more clearly, "I am offering Poland a low price, allowing everyone to make [lots of] money..."
The rest of your paragraph suggests considerable interference from your native language, possibly Polish, perhaps German??

Poland will obviously be affected by her more economically powerful neighbor
to the West. While Poland depends on Germany, Germany too is dependent
on Poland as the buffer zone between the West and Moscow!
If Poland becomes entangled in Germany's socio-political environment, Putin
might well see this as weakness, and, as with any bully (Trump included!!),
could make current or future negotiations with the Kremlin difficult, if not downright
impossible.

Charlie Kirk was a convinced Neocon, but also known for racist, disparaging remarks about,
among others, George Floyd!
Albeit Floyd might not have been a model citizen, he was nonetheless entitled to the same
respect as any other citizen, white or black.
If this seems drearily old-fashioned, lefty, and somehow out of touch with life during the Trump
anti-Revolution, then I suppose humanity too is out of date.
Hitler as well declared war on law without order, on equality and all the other verities your kind
loves to sneer at.
Essentially you and other Trumpers are nothing more than anti-Christian.

Rich & PolAmKrakow,
There you guys go again, looking for easy solutions to complex problems!
When will you finally realize that life is a mission, not a joy ride and sometimes
we have to do things we don't want to do, if only to preserve social peace
rather than create social warfare?
People can only be marginalized so much before they lash out at their enemies.

@Rich,
For better or worse, the US thrives on immigration, however, LEGAL immigration.
You have to face facts that the AfD is simply Nazism rearing its ugly head....once again.
You'd think the Germans would have learned by this point, although thankfully, the AfD
is only a minority, albeit a vocal minority.

@Joker, Rich, et al,
I'm scarcely condoning the killing of Charlie Kirk any
more that I would the assassination of Lincoln Rockwell
of the American Nazi Party way back in the late '60's!
Killing is killing, of course.
On the other hand, what led up to Kirk's murder, huh?
Young, post-War, post-Depression, really post-Reagan,
Conservative Americans have lost touch with the lessons
of inclusion and inclusiveness, lessons they're too young to
have learned, much less internalized. Those under twenty
were sadly weened on the warped, twisted doctrine of Donald
J. Trump, a man child who wouldn't either know a civil right from
a civil wrong, or much care!
Is it any surprise that Civil Rights, much less equal rights for
equal citizenship are being rejected by a generation which never
experienced American life before the New Deal, before Roe, before
The Equal Rights Amendment??
The doctrine of instant gratification, selfishness, "Greed is good" ad nauseum
is about the only thing most post Generation-X'ers understand.

@Rich,
Clearly trolling again, are we. Anyway, perhaps I/we can drum some sense into your thick skull!
The AfD wants to cancel ALL Holocaust education from German school curricula, ideally
deport all non-white, Third World migrants, even second or third generation Turkish-Germans
and others, the more extreme among the Alternative founders (including the late Alexander Gauland,
a Le Pen supporter) desire a "return" of erstwhile German territory seized by neighboring Poland and
Czech Republic following Germany's defeat in WWII.
Each mighty convinciing reasons, I'd say. You'd probably disagree, only to be the eternal contrarian.
Even Trump only wishes to deport known criminals or drug dealers. Hoecke, Weidel, Gideon et al
consider ANY non-ethnic Germans to be a threat to Germany society, criminal background or not
and herein lies the true horror.

Kirk was a rightist agitator, as best I can tell, to whom I listened from time to time,
a sort of poor man's Rush Limbaugh.
Whoever killed Kirk was obviously anti-Trump and pro-left wing liberal. The killing, as
with any assassination, is horrific, however considering the deep (often unreported!) dissatisfaction
with the current administration, I'm honestly surprised he wasn't bumped off earlier.

One report from the period records an incident that not long after Columbus landed on Hispaniola,
his Basque mate greeted some of the natives they encountered in his native language and it is
claimed the natives understood him!
As with many a doubtless apocryphal tale, plenty of good stories have been ruined by oververification.
