The beggars are coming to town. This is the warning being
made by the German Association of Cities in a report examining the negative
impact of immigration from Romania and Bulgaria since 2006. During the
intervening years, it is estimated that some 159,000 Romanian and 90,000
Bulgarian citizens have arrived in Germany, accompanied by what the Daily Telegraph describes as ‘a rise in organised crime’. What these figures fail to
tease out of course is the percentage of these immigrants that happens to be
Roma. Whereas many other Romanian and Bulgarian citizens will have upped sticks
in search of legitimate employment, it would seem that this is not the
preferred option for a very significant, if not a preponderant, element within
the Roma.
Four German cities have been singled out as ‘struggling to
cope’ with the influx: Berlin, Dortmund, Hamburg and Hanover. The immigrants
generally do not speak German, are low skilled and place significant economic
and social strains upon the receiving cities, leading to a situation in
which “The social balance and social
peace is extremely endangered.” Depressing, yet refreshingly frank words and
analysis. Why should Germany have to put up with this and bear these costs? Why
should the UK have to allow a similar human ingress, following the removal of
restrictions on immigration from Romania and Bulgaria on 1 January this year?
Not one more unskilled labourer of any type is required, and we certainly need
no more beggars. We are in the depths of a protracted recession, or more
accurately, depression, and the arrival of such people can only serve to
exacerbate existing problems and bring new ones. Migration Watch was right to
caution that up to 70,000 per annum could arrive from these countries, and yet
the Prime Minister ‘promises’ us an EU referendum in 2017 or 2018, thereby
ensuring open borders until at least that date. What good is that?
Last year it was revealed that The Big Issue had been colluding in a scam allowing Roma immigration from Bulgaria and Romania by
classing Roma Big Issue vendors as ‘self-employed’, leading in some parts of
the country to them constituting 80% of all those selling the magazine. Alas,
the courts adjudged this scam to be legitimate, and to be in full accord with the
law. For most of us, this appears to be the straightforward abuse of a magazine
that was purportedly established to help the homeless get back on their feet,
and save enough money to gain accommodation of some sort.
For politicians however, the Roma issue is not big at all,
but rather invisible. Criticise Roma criminality (‘culture’) and dark allusions
will be made to a certain policy carried out on the continent some 70 years or
so ago, yet look at the statistics and it is plain to see why so many Roma condemn
themselves, or elect to follow, a life on the margins of society if not
outright criminality. In Bulgaria for example, statistics from 2007 show that
only between 60-77% of Roma children were enrolled in school education (ages
6-15) compared to 90-94% of ethnic Bulgarians, with only 6-12% of Roma
enrolling in further education (16-19). If basic education is deliberately
neglected to such an extent, how can the Bulgarian Roma hope for their children
to find any form of legitimate employment when they become adults?
Official census data states that in 2001 Bulgaria was home
to 370,908 Roma and Romania to 535,140 in 2002, so there would seem to be a
large pool of prospective migrants. It will therefore be understandable that
owing to the politically correct strictures of reporting in this country that
ethnic Bulgarians and Romanians will be tearing their hair out in years to
come, reading and viewing report after report, in which their good name is
blackened thanks to a significant element within their Roma export.
