Germany now paying "refugees" to go home

Germany has a new way to deal with more than a million refugees who poured into the country over the last several years — give them money to go home. The country wants to give rejected asylum-seekers who voluntarily move back to their home countries a one-time payment of euros, which is $3,570.

Germany went all in accepting refugees from the Middle East and other war-torn regions of the world. The nation took in nearly 900,000 in 2015 alone, The Washington Post reported. In just two years, some 1.2 million poured in. But a recent report showed very few of the newcomers bothered to get a job — or were hired by German businesses. Just 34,000 refugees — or 2.8% — of those who streamed into Germany in the last two years have managed to get a job, the U.K.'s Express reported.

Meanwhile, the Gatestone Institute reported that "authorities in Hamburg, the second-largest city in Germany, have begun confiscating private dwellings to ease a housing shortage — one that has been acutely exacerbated by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to allow more than two million migrants into the country in recent years."
