Labor Costs In Germany Must Be Too High

 Der Spiegel reports that in an about-face, "Berlin Seeks to Recruit Skilled Labor from Africa." An excerpt:

    The Ghanaian branch of the European Center for Jobs, Migration and Development is likely the best place possible to appreciate the 180-degree shift that Germany’s immigration policy has recently undergone. The center has existed since 2017, and until February 2023, the message has always been: "Why not try your luck here in Ghana? Migration to Europe can be risky." Furthermore, targeted offers were intended to make it easier for Ghanaians already in Germany to return to their home country.

    That message, though, changed earlier this month. And to make the new approach clear, two ministers from Germany flew to the West African country: Development Minister Svenja Schulze and Labor Minister Hubertus Heil. They toured the migration center, including the small consultation rooms and the open atrium. Afterward, Heil said that it was time to pull out all the stops to attract skilled workers. Development Minister Schulze, meanwhile, gushed about the "enormous potential" of migration. Together, the two struck a vastly new tone in German immigration policy – at least when it comes to Africa.

There are two tragedies here: first, that the German government is warring against its own people by bringing in peoples wholly incompatible with the German nation; and, second, that Germany is joining in raiding African nations for their best and brightest, which inhibits those nations from advancing.
