Nearly €30 billion federal funds will be spent on migration in 2024 amid unresolved labor shortages and social strain.

Key FactsJun 11 · Reading time: ~45 sec.

The migration policy of established parties will cost the federal government close to €30 billion in 2024, threatening Germany’s future viability.

Despite millions of immigrants over the past decade, the skilled labor shortage remains, and the welfare system is strained by additional benefit recipients.

Longer wait times for medical care, housing shortages, and declining internal security are consequences of the current migration approach.

The AfD calls for strict limits on immigration, firm deportations of rejected asylum seekers, and warns about increasing debt burdens for future generations.

The policy of mass immigration is irresponsible, unsustainable, and anti-social.
