Most fleeing to Europe are ‘not refugees’, EU official says: Dutch commissioner Frans Timmermans says 60% of arrivals are economic migrants

Those findings linked in the study say that crime was increased around refugee centers. The people conducting the study attributed their personal interpretation of the data along with the study but the only thing it found was increased crime around refugee centers. There's nothing to support their allegation that crimes committed by refugees are at the same level as those committed by native germans.

Is there anything to support the claim that they are being significantly more disruptive? Aside from clickbait BS right-winger articles and know-nothing nationalists that is.

If you think that federal german administrations are devoid of bias I'd advise your to look to their, y'know, leader.

You mean Merkel? From the right-wing/centrist party?

The refugees aren't coming to take jobs. The people who are taking advantage of open-arms immigration policies, however, are undeniably not deserving of the hospitality they're being granted.

Says who?

Personally I don't think that refugees deserve help, but I also don't think that anybody deserves help on the basis of being a person. Everybody's a person. That doesn't mean they've done anything to deserve it.

You're at odds with the United Nations. Also basic human decency. And the basic tenets of social democracy.

Bottom line is that it's nobody's responsibility to care for other people,

It is actually. By law in several European countries.

and it's shitty when governments force residents of a country to sacrifice some of their livelihood for people that may be criminals or otherwise undesirable people.

Innocent until proven guilty.

If governments strictly enforced backgrounds checks, then there would be no valid counterpoint to letting people into your country, as there should be. But the potential for immigrants to organize a literal rape event is ridiculous.

Wasn't the event vastly overblown?
