  > You can not compare migration of (presumably) high skilled workers with unskilled workers. Why not? Is there a "benefits trap" here in Germany, like in the UK, where working makes you worse off? > So what? Where I live you can get by just fine if you speak turkish or arabic. Have you tried living without the local language? As an outsider, first few times at the supermarket checkout was mortifying, just because there's three different common ways people ask if you want a receipt. The government bureaucracy? Getting my Anmeldebestätigung sorted was intimidating (in the UK, the equivalent is posted through your letterbox and you fill it out and post it). Mandatory health etc. insurance? I misunderstood, picked an irrelevant kind of insurance instead of what I needed, only found out when I got a job and HR told me and sorted it for me.
