No More Cash for Migrants — Give Them Gift Cards Instead

A German politician has touched the third rail of German political discourse: he has proposed that the state no longer provide cash benefits to migrants. However, he’s not recommending that the puir wee immigrant bairns go completely without — not hardly! No, he just wants to give them in-kind donations instead.

I don’t see how this will make much difference to the grifters who come to Germany for the lavish benefits. If the plan is implemented, they’ll simply have to fence their vouchers or government cheese at a discount to get cash. Yes, they’ll get less money that way, but it’s still free. And the fence — who is probably also a migrant — will get his cut, thereby spreading the wealth around.

First government politician demands: No more cash for migrants!

What has been the subject of heated debate in Austria for months is now also being openly demanded by a politician in Germany: Christian Dürr (46), leader of the FDP parliamentary group and confidant of Finance Minister Christian Lindner, wants benefits in kind instead of cash for migrants.

The move is surprising in that the ruling FDP is responding to a demand from the opposition. Long ago, politicians from the CDU and CSU had called for drastically reducing cash benefits for migrants in order to reduce the incentives for migration.

Germany no longer knows what to do with the immigrants. Federal states and local authorities have written abusive letters to Chancellor Olaf Scholz because they can no longer provide accommodation for asylum seekers.

The situation is now more tense than during the large influx of refugees in 2015/16. In addition to the asylum seekers in Germany, there are more than a million refugees from Ukraine.

The FDP, the smallest party in the ruling traffic light coalition* in Berlin, is now daring to tackle what was previously taboo. Their parliamentary group leader, Christian Dürr, says openly: “Cash benefits can be a pull factor for people to immigrate to the social security systems. That’s why we have to talk about other possibilities.”

Suggestion: vouchers instead of cash

The demand of the politician, who is considered to be the closest confidant of Finance Minister Christian Lindner: “We have to focus more on targeted benefits in kind for refugees. As is already the practice in the Netherlands.”

Specifically, the liberal politician wants to provide the migrants with benefits in kind such as food, clothing or hygiene items or issue vouchers for them. This procedure should apply for the duration of the asylum procedure. Only after approval should it be converted to cash. [And with their intent to speed that process up, this is all another drive to hoodwink the German people.]

The SPD’s major coalition partner immediately contradicted the FDP’s plans. The distribution of benefits in kind is far too bureaucratic compared with cash payments, as SPD parliamentary group Vice Dirk Wiese (39) said. Benefits in kind meant an additional administrative burden and would pose even greater problems for the municipalities. [What about NO BENEFITS? Now, that would stop this flow, and then no benefits for those who are staying. Offer them a ticket home if you must.]

FPÖ has long been in favor of cash cuts

While the advance of the FDP in Germany is new, the FPÖ in Austria has long been demanding material instead of cash benefits for migrants: “While more and more citizens can no longer afford the expenses of daily life, black-green distributes gifts of money to asylum seekers, for example with the climate bonus” , said National Councilor Hannes Amesbauer at the end of February: “In addition to the all-inclusive service at the expense of the citizens, there is a climate bonus of €500 for asylum seekers from all over the world. This is just another ‘pull factor’ making our country attractive to illegal immigrants!”

Afterword from the translator:

A somewhat good idea, but unfortunately far too late and not thought through to the end. Since these special “guests” are certainly not willing to give up cash, it can be “safely” assumed that the knife artists will multiply and increasingly “obtain” it from those who are working hard and have been living here for a long time, a.k.a. NATIVES. Whether they “purchase” cash on the street, where you are no longer safe, or through even more burglaries, remains to be seen. But I’m pretty sure that somehow the Central Bankers are already rubbing their hands — what a “sales argument” for digital!

However, it would be better to close the borders and start deporting them en masse. Just start with those luxury liners so many of them reside on already. Maybe that thug-force they created to beat up law-abiding Germans could do it — let them do some real work for a change. After all, an escape is over when you reach a safe area in your own country or in the nearest neighboring country. On the other hand, if you cross several countries and choose the country that issues the most generous money payments, you are not a refugee but an economic parasite. But I guess that this truth is no longer allowed to be uttered in the “Best Germany of all Time”.

  1. The best thing send them ALL back where are they come from !!, this parasites don’t belong in Europe, problem solved..

    • It would probably cost more than several years of handouts to send most of them back, especially once the lawyers and activists get involved. That’s assuming the wretched orcistans they hail from allow them to be returned.

      If Europeans had any [manly appurtenances] they would tell those orcistans to take back their citizens at their own expense or their citizen would be fed to Morbark or some other inexpensive method of disposal.

      My guess as to what will happen is that no one will get deported for lack of political will, cost to do so if political will miraculously develops, and complications with countries of origin refusing to cooperate. Which means that if Europeans ever do get fed up with their situation enough to revolt I imagine a lot of orcs will be getting summarily executed by militias and revolutionaries.

  2. Seems to be a PATTERN and has exploded since the turnip in the White House was planted!
