The #German ministry for interior affairs is planning to cut down subsidies for courses designed to help #foreigners and #refugees #integrate into the German society:

https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/integrationskurse-eingeschraenkt-bmi-100.html

For anyone who knows the situation in #Germany and can think straight for 1 minute, this is an obvious foot-gun on so many levels.

- Germany's society is aging, the financing of #socialsecurity is already on the verge of collapse. Every year, the workforce gets smaller. Every year, the number of pensioned people grows. Every year, the prices for social security increase. In order to keep the social security system alive at current quality levels, Germany needs to grow the workforce. Unless birthrates go up, the only way to achieve that is through #immigration. (And even if birthrates go up, the economic effect will only hit in 20-25 years.)
- Companies are already struggling to find (qualified) personnel. Reducing immigration is not going to help.
- Taking away help from immigrants to integrate into the German society *will* inevitably create problems for/by poor integration. This will benefit the populist extreme-right #fascist #Nazi-party #FckAfD in the mid-term future.

I'm really amazed at how "#conservatives" can aim so hard at their own foot without even realising.

A quotation from Shakespeare

Grant them removed, and grant that this your noise
Hath chid down all the majesty of England;
Imagine that you see the wretched strangers,
Their babies at their backs and their poor luggage,
Plodding tooth ports and costs for transportation,
And that you sit as kings in your desires,
Authority quite silent by your brawl,
And you in ruff of your opinions clothed;
What had you got? I’ll tell you. You had taught
How insolence and strong hand should prevail,
How order should be quelled; and by this pattern
Not one of you should live an aged man,
For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,
With self same hand, self reasons, and self right,
Would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes
Would feed on one another.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Sir Thomas More, Act 2, sc. 4, l. 55ff (c. 1592)

"In #Marseille 1940: The Flight of #Literature, the #German #literary critic #UweWittstock traces the anguished itineraries of more than a dozen #refugee #writers and #artists and the efforts by a group of courageous #Americans—along with many anonymous but no less courageous #French people—to rescue them. Told in a series of short, suspenseful #vignettes, it is a #sequel to his book February 1933: The Winter of Literature, which followed a group of German intellectuals in the days after #Hitler came to power. Some of those whose hasty escape from #Germany #Wittstock #narrated in the first #book reappear in the second in even more dire straits. February 1933 struck a chord by charting the shift from denial to panic when #Germans suddenly found themselves living in a #fascist country, and Marseille 1940 makes another timely intervention: as governments once again shut borders and attempt to turn us against the #foreigners in our midst..."

A quotation from The Bible

All baptised in Christ, you have all clothed yourselves in Christ, and there are no more distinctions between Jew and Greek, slave and free, male and female, but all of you are one in Christ Jesus.

[ὅσοι γὰρ εἰς Χριστὸν ἐβαπτίσθητε, Χριστὸν ἐνεδύσασθε. οὐκ ἔνι Ἰουδαῖος οὐδὲ Ἕλλην, οὐκ ἔνι δοῦλος οὐδὲ ἐλεύθερος, οὐκ ἔνι ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ· πάντες γὰρ ὑμεῖς εἷς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.]

The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
Galatians 3: 27–28 [JB (1966)]

This was the sign I carried at our weekly protest today. I'm *not* Catholic, but I really appreciate Pope Leo XIV and what he has to say about tyrants, immigrants, war, the poor and the vulnerable.

This was part of his message at the closing of the Jubilee of Hope a few days ago.

As Ho Chi Minh City continues to globalize, the case raises a broader question for international observers: can stricter enforcement deter cross-border criminal activity without undermining the city’s reputation as one of Southeast Asia’s most open and dynamic destinations?
