The demographic 'shock', particularly "upside-down aging pyramids" isn't a problem - it's actually the primary benefit of this migration. "Upside-down aging pyramids" are a problem for us - as the population tends towards older, we have more tax-drains (increasing medical requirements, increasing retirement costs) and less tax-feeders. 18-30yo men, what in another age would have been our definition of eligible conscripts, are exactly the injection required. Integration is a concern, yes. Language barriers I'm fine with - this is Europe, I don't speak German either - but perhaps the path from temporary to permanent residency needs to be a bit more than paperwork. Some form of (non-military) national service may be ideal. Germany has a fantastic track-record of vocational / apprenticeship-based education. Perhaps if we can mix such a model with some other requirements (eg, local language), a path could be laid where they not only work for their benefits & contribute back, but also offer a future for them, their family, and a continent that's begging for young blood. I don't think it's anything to do with "ways of the west", but simply ensuring there's some sort of future ahead of them. Running water stays fresh, standing water grows stagnant.
