Yvonne Kussmann wrote that a 23-year-old Indian man snatched a five-year-old boy from his mother on a platform in Wuppertal in April 2018 and jumped in front of a train with him. The child survived the attack without serious injuries. In October 2018, the man was acquitted due to insanity caused by paranoid schizophrenia and placed in a secure psychiatric facility. Kussmann contrasted the diagnosis with the belief in demons like Asuras or Pishachas in India, from whom people might receive commands, including to kill. She stated that the man had been deported after about eight years in the secure facility; various media reported on this. At the same time, she questioned whether Western therapies were meaningful for a man with a different cultural background. Using figures from North Rhine-Westphalia for 2025, Kussmann calculated that among approximately 4,300 detained individuals, costs of 623 million euros had been incurred. This amounts to about 390 euros per person per day. For eight years in the secure facility, this totals just over 1.1 million euros for the man. Kussmann questioned why the man had not been immediately deported instead of being treated at the taxpayers' expense for so long. She noted that he had entered as an asylum seeker, attempted to kill a child, and had never received a punishment for the act. #Asylpolitik #PsychischeGesundheit #Gesellschaftsdebatte (translated)

Dr. David Lütke stated that rejected asylum seekers received 0 euros in France, Denmark, and Poland, while in Germany they received 563 euros as well as accommodation, heating, health insurance, child benefits, and a driver's license. He criticized that there was allegedly "no money" for care, pensions, and health insurance. https://t.co/oMHjfEV1G1 #Asylpolitik #SozialeGerechtigkeit #EU (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson criticized the editorial page of Dagens Nyheter, stating that it often exhibited the same contempt for people that it accused its opponents of. She argued that DN portrayed itself as a mediator of decent truth and responded to people who disagreed with condescension. According to Gabrielsson, the newspaper's view of decency lacked class and equality. She also criticized the Center Party (C) for not wanting to discuss substantive issues or collaborate within the majority that had reached an agreement in the parliament. She wrote that C did not want to participate in joint preliminary meetings before the committees and that C had not answered affirmatively to the question of whether the Left Party (V) was included in the same government support. Gabrielsson called it common sense for V to want to know which parties would govern together before a government agreement was negotiated. She questioned how this could be interpreted as S coddling V. Gabrielsson wrote that DN's view of decency did not seem to encompass issues such as unemployment benefits, health insurance, working conditions, and funding for welfare. She also highlighted the working conditions in the gig economy, asking whether it was decent not to prioritize that nursing assistants could live off their pensions. She wondered if it was competent for the government to privatize the employment service, which she believed had opened the door to crime while job seekers were left without help. She asked whether a society could be built together without understanding how people were affected, for example, by the risk of being denied sickness benefits after decades of work. Gabrielsson argued that understanding was not the same as agreeing, and that it was necessary to effect change. She warned that voters might lose faith that their vote made a difference, and wrote that political opponents should try to win support for their direction rather than attempting to impose their will by condescension or circumventing compromises. #politik #samhälle #jämlikhet (translated)

The author claimed that Merkel's asylum policy has so far cost 400 billion in tax money alone. Social follow-up costs have not been taken into account and are likely to amount to several times that. Immigration continues, and with it, costs are rising as well, he wrote. https://t.co/aJ7mJOgyKD #Asylpolitik #Einwanderung #Kosten #DE (translated)

Steffan Nethe wrote that ten years after the death of Maria Ladenburger, the case still leaves him speechless. Ladenburger was raped and murdered in October 2016 at the age of 19 while on her way home from a student party in Freiburg. Her murderer, Hussein Khavari, had come to Germany as a refugee and had previously been convicted in Greece for a serious violent crime, Nethe wrote. As the father of a daughter, he can hardly imagine that his own child would not come home because a person with a serious criminal record strikes again, Nethe explained. The protection of the population must take priority. He demanded secure borders, consistent identity checks, and clear entry rules, as well as lawful asylum procedures for refugees seeking protection and regulated access for skilled workers. Criminal offenders, people unwilling to integrate, and those without residency rights must be consistently deported, he wrote. Nethe also criticized that failures of authorities must not be tolerated when people are exposed to avoidable dangers as a result. Ladenburger would be 29 years old today; perhaps she would have started a family or become a doctor, he wrote. She must not be forgotten, Nethe added. #Gedenken #Sicherheit #Asylpolitik (translated)

Vacant hotels were becoming lucrative as a result, and state-owned companies and NGOs were also benefiting.

Björn Harms announced that his new book "The Asylum Complex" would be available in stores the following day; he already had some freshly printed copies in hand. He wrote that the book includes, among other things, a detailed overall calculation of the asylum costs of past years and an overview of the number of asylum accommodations in Germany. According to him, the federal government does not know this number. According to Harms, the book also addresses real estate companies and hoteliers who earn millions by renting to the state, as well as home operators, welfare associations, lawyer networks, and state companies that benefit from the growing market or mass immigration. He announced interviews with insiders from the social industry and the real estate market, as well as insights into asylum NGOs, refugee councils, and million-euro funding programs from the EU and the federal government. Additionally, the book aims to address legal questions related to the topic of asylum. Harms requested feedback on the book. #Asylkomplex #Buchneuerscheinung #Asylpolitik (translated)
