Why would anyone wanna go to a country that pays them low abuses them and they end up alone with no friends because this is Germany.

Various combinations of "they didn't know", "still better than the place they left", "their experience wasn't that bad", and "needed for their resume".
In my case (not Germany but also in the EU), I just bought into European propaganda too much.
Can you give examples? I'm curious which of your beliefs have changed
> and they end up alone with no friends

This sounds like a personal issue. Is Germany at fault here?

It is a personal issue for sure. But people from "warmer" cultures often struggle with the "colder" culture, at least in Northern Germany. And that sometimes leads to people from other countries seeking or making friend group with other migrants.
> pays them low abuses them

Sounds more like systemic prejudice than "OP lacks social skills".

not to mention taxes the shit out of them with little to no return on their investment
