Few European people oppose migration of educated workers. Rather it's about asylum seekers who often arrive here illegally, and typically lack sufficient education to do well in our job markets, leading to very high unemployment rate and other social problems.

Europe has a problem with aging workforce, but it can't be solved by importing people who can't find a job.

That's a lie people tell you because they do not want to sound racist.

... very few ...

> and typically lack sufficient education to do well in our job markets,

Uhm. And the ones that are educated, we don't recognize their diplomas. Nice.

And also, that's what the education system is for.

Finally, poor people in poor countries can't afford to flee to Europe. So those people are actually middle class people from poor countries with often quite some education.

> leading to very high unemployment rate and other social problems.

Nope, that's our own failed policies leading to that. Don't blame our mistakes on immigrants.

> Europe has a problem with aging workforce, but it can't be solved by importing people who can't find a job.

Than thank god we're not doing that.

GP didn't blame it on the immigrants but on the old money elites who first demanded former Eastern Bloc countries in the EU and then millions of immigrants.

In a real market economy, they'd have to raise wages instead. But no, undercutting local workers and cram new arrivals into the already overheated rental market, the old money vultures get even richer.

The only problem with asylum seekers is that it is too difficult for them to apply for asylum before entering the country. Their first contact is a smuggler that gives them a ticket for an overloaded boat and has zero incentive to make sure they arrive in Germany legally or safely. The people they are shipping are just victims of an exploitative industry.
