The German capital is on the verge of collapsing under the financial strain caused by mass migration.

Despite claims that migrants are going to fund the entire West and save pensions with all the tax funds they generate, reality is once again encroaching. Now, the Berlin senate is preparing emergency loans to cover refugee costs at a time when Berlin is cutting services, including for schools, due to increasingly dire budget shortfalls, Remix News writes.

Notably, even though a Christian Democrat (CDU), Kai Wegner, is the mayor of Berlin, little has changed under his leadership compared to the previous left-wing government. Berlin’s CDU Finance Senator Stefan Evers is reportedly preparing to issue emergency loans to cover refugee-related costs. One major issue is that Berlin operates under a “debt brake” law, which prevents the city from taking on additional debt. However, the government claims there are legal provisions for making exceptions.

Earlier, Berlin indicated that housing migrants would cost 500 million euros in 2025, translating into 1.5 million euros per day. Large-scale renovations to convert buildings into refugee accommodations have already begun. For a single building, costs could amount to hundreds of millions of euros over the next decade.

Berlin already froze school budgets for 2024, but these austerity measures are insufficient. The 500 million euros figure does not include other expenses, such as education, integration efforts, or law enforcement.

In all likelihood, the solution will involve more debt and more spending, with Berlin ready to declare an emergency to make up for the shortfalls. At the federal level, the situation may be even worse: nearly 50 billion euros were spent on migrants in 2023. Across Germany and much of the Western world, migration is not only fueling the debt crisis but is also a key driver of skyrocketing property prices.

Migrants are consuming taxpayers’ money

According to statistics from the Federal Employment Agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit), the allocation of German tax revenues does not align with the country’s demographic makeup. Reports indicate that one-third of those receiving citizen’s benefit (Burgergeld, basic income support for job seekers) are native German speakers, while the remaining two-thirds go to individuals from other linguistic and cultural backgrounds, as reported by Junge Freiheit.

Bürgergeld oder Migrantengeld? Laut Statistiken der Bundesagentur für Arbeit sind nur etwa ein Drittel der Bürgergeld-Empfänger autochthone Deutsche. Am häufigsten leben Ukrainer, Syrer und Afghanen auf Kosten der Steuerzahler. pic.twitter.com/WkbH9v0iuY
