Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Butch, Gastworkers and refugees from other countries do get full medical benefits in Germany, but that also has drained the country terribly and huge reforms are taking place.for all people not just gastworkers. Germany is a huge welfare State, also because East Germany has an unforeseen large amount of people that are unemployed.The wall coming down had it's good sides but also bad sides. Because of the poor economy in the East, the Nazi Party ( in a different form, but never less) has reared it's ugly head there now big time. What to do, what to do... When it comes to immigration, I do strongly feel that every one needs to learn the language of the country one wants to immigrate, too. I had to. When it comes to Mexican immigrants, there is just one twist people here don't seem to think about. America is their ancestral country, too..but Spanish is not their ancestral language. To me the solution is strengthen the borders for many reasons, but allow organized work parties, where medical costs, etc are underwritten by the people who employ them. What I am totally against is having families torn apart, after people have lived here for years and years and than being deported after paying taxes and being good citizens.
