WNU Editor: More evidence that German Chancellor Merkel's policy of assimilating refugees and migrants into German culture and life is not working.

Turkish Guest Workers were never assimilated into German Culture and Life.
They have always been simply imported when needed to keep wages down and deported when no longer needed.
It's been that way since 1961 and will never change.
The deportation part has not been working to well...
Guest Worker deportation has worked very well, still does.
The German/Turkish Guest Worker program is like the US/Canadian H1B Visa program, at it's peak it brought 12.8 million Turks into Germany, now there's only about 1,500,000.
It's like the Farmworkers Program in Canada and the US that brings in about 1.2 million Mexican's and Central American's in to plant and harvest out crops for pennies a day.
It's a very different program from the refugee/Shenigan economic migrants.
Adam Smith was right, too bad the "Capitalists" never read him.
Back in the day, Capital was fixed, ( you had to load a ship with gold for a months long journey) so was labour.
Now, you can move billions with the click of a mouse, and import thousands of labourers with another click of the mouse.
It's something to watch the "guest" labour raising hell. An old man told me that the "capitalists" are in many ways like a dog or pig. They will eat themselves to death if allowed. A lot the confusion and chaos we are experiencing is the result of allowing those of a one track mind to make the decisions.
