New German law requires refugees to learn language
April 14, 2016 -- Refugees arriving in Germany must learn the language under new restrictions imposed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel's ruling coalition Thursday.

The deal was worked out in six hours of late-night talks between Merkel's conservative Christian Union block and Social Democrats. "Now that hundreds of thousands of refugees have arrived in our country, we have a double task: to manage and control refugee flows, and not only to register but to integrate the larger numbers," Merkel said at a news conference in Berlin. About a million people fleeing war, persecution and economic hardship in the Middle East, Africa and South America entered Germany last year, according to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees.

The new law would both "require things (of new arrivals) and support them," Merkel said. "We will differentiate between those with good and bad prospects for being allow to stay, but there will be an offer for everyone who comes to us." Under the deal, new arrivals would receive subsidized courses to integrate them into German life, including language courses and job training. Also, the nation plans to remove barriers in the labor market and create 100,000 low-paid jobs for asylum seekers.

Refugees who fail to take up the offer could lose benefits and residence permits. Those taking part in job training would be shielded from expulsion for the length of the program. Hurt Seehofer, leader of the Christian Social Union, said there is "still an enormous amount to do." The federal government has to agree with the states how to require refugees to stay in one place while going through the process.

Anti-Refugee Feeling From Trump Election Spills Over to States...

Anti-Refugee Sentiment From Election Spills Over to States
December 26, 2016 — The push to restrict refugee resettlements and immigration in the U.S. that figured so prominently in Donald Trump's election is now headed to states that are preparing to convene their legislative sessions early next year, immigration advocates said.

In Montana, which took in just nine refugee families from January to early December, about a dozen bill requests related to refugees, immigration and terrorism have been filed ahead of next month's session. The measures include requiring resettlement agencies to carry insurance that would defray the cost of prosecuting refugees who commit violent crimes and allowing towns and cities to request a moratorium on resettlements in their communities.

Refugee rights advocates say those measures are a sign of what is to come as the anti-refugee rhetoric that featured prominently in the presidential election spills over to statehouses and local governments. "It's pretty widely known that this is going to be a hard year for those of us who are seeking to protect the rights of refugees and immigrants,'' said S.K. Rossi, advocacy and policy director for the ACLU of Montana. The president-elect campaigned on building a border wall with Mexico to stop illegal immigration, deporting immigrants who are in the nation illegally and halting the resettlement of refugees to strengthen the federal program that vets them.

Some down-ticket conservative candidates took Trump's cue and integrated the anti-refugee platform into their campaigns. Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke, for example, spoke multiple times about the possibility of child terrorists slipping into the U.S. Empowered by the issue's prominence, anti-immigrant groups have state and local governments in their sights as targets to push restrictive measures in addition to whatever changes may happen at the federal level, said Michele McKenzie, deputy director of the Minneapolis organization The Advocates for Human Rights.

That would lead to further manipulation of the deeply visceral fear of newcomers to the U.S. that was exposed during the election campaigns, McKenzie said. "It absolutely does not end with the presidential election,'' McKenzie said. "It's a national strategy by a small but organized group of anti-immigration advocates and anti-refugee advocates.'' It's unclear if Trump will make good on his pledges. But his election appears to be enough for an Indiana legislative panel led by state Sen. Mike Delph, which didn't recommend any legislation after it spent eight months reviewing illegal immigration. Delph said after the election that the U.S. government's actions may make immigration less of a problem for the states.

Immigrant Rights Convention Shifts Focus After Trump Win
December 12, 2016 — Organizers of a national conference aimed at promoting the rights of immigrants to the United States had to make some dramatic adjustments to their agenda before the conference opened over the weekend in Nashville.

Attendees at this year's National Immigration Integration Conference were hoping to explore ways to promote the rights of immigrants and refugees and help them integrate into society. But that was before Donald Trump won the presidency. Now, the advocates for immigrants find themselves on the defensive in facing Trump, who has been severely critical of current immigration policies. A workshop on how more immigrants can qualify for health care under the Affordable Care Act was changed to “resiliency in Advocating for Immigrant Health in Hostile Environments.” And new sessions such as “The Organized Anti-Immigrant Movement: Who They Are, What They Want, and How We Can Push Back in Trump's America” are now on the agenda.

In the biggest assembly of its kind since Trump's election, the conference of more than 1,000 immigrants and refugee rights leaders on Monday listened to Tennessee city mayors, the Mexican ambassador to the United States, and singer Emmylou Harris offer guidance in the new Trump age. “We absolutely had to do a lot of post-election pivots for this conference,” said Stephanie Teatro, Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition co-executive director, “not only to really meet sort of the moment and have the kind of conversations that immigrants rights advocates need and want to be having right now, but also because the policy landscape has fundamentally shifted.”

People attend the National Immigrant Integration Conference, Dec. 12, 2016, in Nashville, Tennessee. The gathering of immigration advocates was meant to be a celebration of recent gains. Now it may turn into a strategy session for defending advances against a Trump presidency.​

In his speech Monday, Ambassador of Mexico to the United States Carlos Sada didn't mention Trump, who has promised to build a wall on the Mexican border and make Mexico pay for it. Instead, Sada listed the economic benefits Mexico extends to the United States, and called for a “new language” to start new dialogue and reach compromises. “We have always been stronger, safer and more successful when we have worked together,” Sada said.

Nashville Mayor Megan Barry was one of 18 mayors in larger metro areas who signed a letter to Trump urging him to maintain President Barack Obama's protections from deportation for hundreds of thousands of young immigrants. With Trump's hard line on immigration during the campaign, fear remains that he could eliminate the executive move by Obama. Barry called Nashville a new gateway city that 81 people a day move to. In 2000, less than 1 percent of Nashville residents were new Americans; now, Nashville is close to 16 percent of its population being foreign born, Barry said.

Understand the muslim concept of hijra

The Hijrah Into Europe

 

[badger2]

#7 is correct, and they have no intention of integrating because theirs is a strive for pure form just as was the Nazi regime. This hijra requires an accomplice: christianity, and it was the delirious christian social democrats in Germany who just imitated their Italian counterparts. Now the church-and-state experiments in miscegenation will be underway, whereby with the Italian Constitution it was the presupposition of a country of "workers," the capitalist copulation includes the U.S. Constitution which was deceptively compromised from the beginning with the use of prepositions such as "of" rather than "from."

The rise of American nationalism via Trump coincide with the profound arrogance of theology coupled to integrated world capitalism, all of which have an intimate relationship to the schizophrenic process.
