[Domestic Policy] Refugees-Guarantors - who in the end pays for the culture of a few guarantors of refugees welcome 2019-03-15
The promotion of migration is often seen as "leftist", the aid as "humanistic" and the consequences as "cosmopolitan".
All these terms are positively occupied and disguise whose interests are served here.
Behind the migration especially behind the migration from low-wage countries are business interests.
In the wake of the migration crisis several people have decided to guarantee for the living-costs and other costs. For this they have signed commitments to guarantee for all living expenses of the person taken in. However according to many guarantors they were unaware that the obligations they had undertaken also apply after the persons taken in obtained the protection status. [1] [2] [3]
In 2018 the guarantors then received bills from the employment agencies. Initially it said the claims of the employment agencies concern about 20,000 people for whom it was guaranteed and amounted to at least 21 million euros. A request in March from the AfD revealed that the federal employment agency is assuming further costs of 16.5 million euros. The individual claims range from 1,700 euros to over 61,757 euros. According to the Ministry of Labor about 670,000 euros were paid by the guarantors. [4] [5] [6] [7]
In January 2019 the federal government and the most affected states Hesse, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia agreed to pay for the costs. For the agreement that was reached the federal government and the federal states each cover half of the costs. [8] [9]
Regardless of the motivation of the guarantors by covering the costs by the state creates a questionable example. The example is that the state covers these costs without democratic legitimacy and regardless of the financial situation of the guarantors and at the same time companies can rely on their bills being settled in case of doubt. This sends the signal that the next refugees guarantors do not have to guarantee regardless of their financial situation. And it sends the signal that companies can rely on the state for paying their bills.
