Even though right-wing politicians decry immigration (because it's a populist viewpoint), they secretly or openly want more. Countries without low immigration will lag economically compared to countries with high immigration such as the US.

This is what I wrote:

Germany needs workers, not people who are illiterate and unlikely to ever work. Germany has accepted a LOT of people of the latter

I didn't say "all". I said "a lot." According to your link, there are a lot of people who are not working.

Also, It’s a huge pain in the ass to get your degrees and titles recognised in Germany. Even Doctors returning from Switzerland have to wait several months up to a year to get their certificates recognised

This is a meme. Clearly most refugees are not doctors and engineers. I challenge you to provide a source.

It was within the article, as for the Facharzt needing to wait so long to get it's documents recognised, I've met him today in the university hospital
