The combined amount spent on the refugee crisis by the federal government totalled over €20 billion in 2016. Over half of the money was spent abroad aiming to stop the flow of migrants making the journey to Europe. The total spend of €20 billion was about 0.6 percent of its GDP, according to a government report seen by the Rheinische Post.
“The number of new arrivals coming from Turkey to Greece has drastically sunk in the last year,” said Peter Altmaier, Angela Merkel's chief of staff and coordinator of Germany's response to the migrant crisis, in an interview with the Rheinische Post.
“It also seems as though the rate of the influx of migrants on the Libya-to-Italy route is falling rather than going up,” he continued. “It looks like our commitment to improving the situation in Libya, Mali, and Niger is paying off.”
In 2016, German troops were based in Mali and Turkey, among other places, to fight Islamic extremism, and to break apart the networks of human traffickers.
“The Bundeswehr has achieved a great deal with its foreign operations, including in the refugee crisis,” Altmaier said.

Is it just me or am I starting to appreciate Anglos each day even more.
Xavier Brooks
GERMANY YES!
Germany should be nuked, period. All the true Germans died in WW2 and some even left to the USA, Australia. There's no longer a true German bloodline left in Germany, since ruskies raped all those women and now Germany is nothing but a rape baby generation 3rd world country. That's why the general populace are so retarded and they can't comprehend what the fuck they're doing with allowing those refugees in.

Look at the actual numbers. The numbers peaked in September-October 2016 and have since then come down to pre-crisis levels. Still too high, but do not believe the media shills. The Libyan migrant crisis started in April 2016 after the Turkey-Greece was closed.
Anglos are the anti-germans dare i say the anti-humans.
Read Spenger - Prussianism & Socialism if you want to know why.

Shipping weapons to Israel and Saudi Arabia and Egypt doesn't help with "refugees", it causes the crisis, moron.

We helped with foreign assistance. You only managed to help with domestic assistance.

If you consider that not to be a lot of mone please be aware that states and local governments have to spent the major part. So the total ammount ist far more.
Jose King
>If you consider that not to be a lot of mone please be aware that states and local governments have to spent the major part.
Only somewhat correct. The 9 billion mostly goes to the states and local admins to care for the illegals. Yes, they pay some out of pocket themselves, but not 10s of billions, but a single digit billion number.

federal government isn't allowed to allocate money to local governments. Yes, 9.3 bn is going to the states, but they also deal with the vast ammount of expenditure, such as more police, housing etc
