Sarrazin-fuled bigotry keeping talent away from Germany

The journalist and self-proclaimed "Islam expert"  Dr. Udo Ulfkotte recently outlined his proposal for mass deportation and forced repatriation of the Turkish and Arab immigrants in Germany in order to create more space (Lebensraum) for "ethnic Germans" (i.e. Aryans).  But, as it turns out, these measures are totally unneccesary.  There has been a net outflow of (predominantyl young) immigrants from Germany.  Why should they remain in a country where they are not welcome?   Moreover, the xenophobia propogated by Ulkfotte and opportunistic politicians is keeping much-needed talent out of Germany. This was the conclusion of the Expert Council on Integration and Migration (Sachverständigenrats Integration und Migration (SVR)):

In den vergangenen 15 Jahren habe das Land eine halbe Million Menschen mehr ans Ausland verloren als neu dazugewonnen. Menschen im besten Erwerbsalter, die durchschnittlich höher qualifiziert seien als die arbeitende Bevölkerung Deutschlands. Von all jenen, die in den vergangenen Jahren ins europäische Ausland abwanderten, hätten 49 Prozent einen Hochschulabschluss, in der Bevölkerung seien es nur 29 Prozent.

(In the past 15 years Germany lost half a million more people to foreign countries than it was able to attract.  These are people in their peak earning ages, who on the average were more qualified that the German workforce as a whole. Of those who left for other European countries, 49% had college degrees compared with only 29% of the popluation.) 

One of the key experts on the SVR puts a great deal of the blame for thei "brain drain" on the best-selling writer and "gene expert" Thilo Sarrazin:

"Den größten Flurschaden hat Sarrazin bei der Stimmung unter den Einwanderern angerichtet", sagt der bekannte Migrationsforscher Klaus J. Bade. Aber auch die Attraktivität Deutschlands nach außen habe durch die Äußerungen des Ex-Bundesbankers gelitten. "Sarrazin hat Deutschland ein doppeltes Eigentor beschert", so Bade. In Umfragen sei ein eklatanter Vertrauensverlust zu diagnostizieren, der Optimismus hinsichtlich Integration sei abgestürzt, so Bade.

("Sarrazin has ruined the attitude towards Germany among immigrants", said the well-known immigration researcher Klaus J. Bade.  But Sarrazin's statements have also had a negative impact on Germany's attraction to those outside the country.  "Sarrazin has given Germany a double self-goal", said Bade.  From our surveys we are able to diagnose a definite lack of trust as well as a lack of optimism concerning integration.)

The more Sarrazin is promoted in the media as the "savior" of Germany, the more German competitiveness will suffer as talent moves to friendlier shores.

So Sarrazin could be right, intelligent muslims don't live in Germany. (Ouch!)

Sarrazin remains member in the SPD, his book hasn't damaged principles like inner-party solidarity or the order within Social Democratic Party, nor is he guilty of dishonorable behaviour...

Yeah, that's what Germany needs: "talent" from Africa and Arabia. Do you read what you write before posting? Try it, it might clear up some stupidities.

Or, you could take a honesty pill and simply admit you hate Germans and want to see them replaced with Third World monkeys.
