I help people migrate to Germany. Germany is attractive. People would be happy to live there, and Germany would gladly earn taxes from them. However the immigration system sends the opposite message. It's overloaded and unresponsive. This adds considerable stress to people moving here since they can't start working until they get their residence permit. There's also the difficulty of making friends here. People often move here for economic reasons, and don't give culture its due consideration. If you're used to a tightly connected, informal society, the switch to a contract-based one where you don't know your neighbours is really difficult. Still, once you're through most of that, Germany is a really attractive place. The legal protections the average citizen enjoys are fantastic, and the country is a good foundation in which a family can grow roots.
