Really looking forward to driving around everywhere with my passport like im in Nazi Germany

Why would any skilled work want to move to Germany when they refuse to speak English with foreigners? English speakers (of all nationalities) can move to many other countries where this is not a problem. The Netherlands for example have no problem speaking English. For Germany, they need an attitude adjustment.

Hitler and Nazi Germany tried that 'mass deportation' thing... Didn't workout so well.\nNot going to work under Trump and Fascist America either.

Like Nazi Germany. Their neighbors will turn them in

america is looking at a 1930's germany. good luck with that.

This woman is right. We need people who are willing to sacrifice their time and their old citizenship to become Americans. She sacrificed a great deal to become a true American citizen. I do not want to be a citizen of another country although I have spent time as a guest worker LEGALLYin other countries. I was not allowed to take jobs in those countries (Japan and Germany) that native workers had the right to take. I was not given benefits or a right to vote. I had a passport which I was required to carry at all times because as a foreign worker I could be stopped and questioned about my legal status. My passport showed my working status in country with the appropriate stamp. I accepted these restrictions as part of my working conditions. I wanted to keep my own citizenship as an American although I could have worked to obtain the fluency level required and the citizenship understanding of law and legal procedures to become a citizen. It would have taken time and waiting for an application to clear. That is what it would have required but I wanted to be an American. I did not renounce my citizenship lightly…nor should anyone without work and thoughtful consideration of what it is to BE a member of that country.

I think we should also be bracing for a stream of American Democrats and liberals moving north. Trump 2.0 isn't the same as 1.0. That time it was I'm leaving because. . . This time its I'm leaving because I might not be welcome here anymore. Although highly unlikely because of our close proximity one could even argue that an American brain drain might also happen as scientists move north to continue their research free of government interference. Remember Einstein read the room in the 1930s and left Germany for America. This could now happen to America as scientists read the room and walk away with their research saying let those Christian Nationalist deal with nuclear fission with just God's hands.

I Germany doing this deportation every day. get on the plain and flying them to another country. The problem is, that nobody wants to have them, so agreements needs to be done eith other countries. This is the story in Germany since 2015, since the invasion

Haven't you learned by now, there won't be any courts/ legal system in place under dictator donnie. As I said many months ago: Germany 1933, know the history.

1936: it became illegal in Germany to employ Jewish people in a company. 2025: it becomes illegal in the USA to employ illegal immigrants. German solution: mass extermination. US solution: mass deportation.

I finally understand all this support for Donald Trump. It took me a while. This isn't a small number, it's in fact now The Majority!! Hitler wasn't that popular at first either. Like in 1930s Germany and The Jews, illegals will be allowed to leave a while; then the Gestapo tactics can fully begin on those that didn't believe. I'm pretty sure many here are salivating already.

If rapists need to be deported, then Trump needs to go back to Germany, where his immigrant family came from. His illegal immigrant wife needs to go too.

This all sounds familiar so they have armed police kicking on peoples door and taking them from their homes in the middle of the night ? tell me that doesn’t sound like 1930s Germany

The poem First they came... was written by Martin Niemöller. It is a criticism of the way people in Nazi Germany did not stop the Nazi Party from treating other people poorly. \n \nThe poem is as follows:[1] \n \nFirst they came for the Communists, \nand I didn’t speak up, \nbecause I wasn’t a Communist. \nThen they came for the Jews, \nand I didn’t speak up, \nbecause I wasn’t a Jew. \nThen they came for the Catholics, \nand I didn’t speak up, \nbecause I was a Protestant. \nThen they came for me, \nand by that time there was no one \nleft to speak up for me.

Omg. First world attitudes from people who one generation ago ran for their lives. THAT'S the lesson here. Humans are selfish animals. They run through a gate and hope it closes behind them. Didn't Nazi Germany teach us this???

The plan is particularly cruel and it looks to be extremely racist in nature. It looks as though it is going to cost $10K per person to deport them so why not offer people $10K per head if they will leave voluntarily? However, can the USA afford to lose all these people? There will be massive job vacancies that cannot be filled, so many businesses will have to close down, causing hardship to the business owners. Perhaps the first step should be to find out why these people are considered to be such a drain on America's economy. It seems to me that they make a massive contribution. That being the case, why not make some criteria which, if met, will allow people to legalise their presence in America?\n\nAnything must be better than mass incarcerations and deportation which looks an awful lot like Nazi Germany.

Trump what a stupid Donkey. He himself is an immigrant from Germany. ?

Germany circa 1940s already gamed out mass Deportations.

There's a good example from Nazi Germany: Victor Klemperer (a Jew) was married to a German woman. So he survived the war - and wrote the book Lingua Tertia Imperii (Die Sprache des Dritten Reiches), explaining how the Nazis distorted the German Language to include new (and destructive) meanings of ordinary phrases. Look out for that in official documents given out by the Trump administration.

I came to Germany in December 2022.\nI work as an unskilled worker.\nI graduated from university, but I did not apply for a qualified occupation because my German is not B2 or higher.\nFor the first 6.5 months I shared a room.\nDuring those 6.5 months I applied for apartments and collected money. I found an apartment with the help of the application.\nI was separated from my family for 14 months, but we managed to reunite. We also found a place for our son in kindergarten.\nMy German level is A2. When I needed to, I used the English language in government offices as well. People also understood my level of German. None were angry that my language level was not higher, but I managed to finish everything so far.\nI can say that all my experiences so far have been positive, I tried to respect my appointments.\nIn perspective, it would be beneficial for Germany to use English more because a qualified worker, if he has to choose between a country with English or Germany with German, will choose English first.\nThe German language is wonderful, but the world simply works in English and that's how it is.\nAlthough it would also be useful for those of us who came to Germany to learn more German for better business opportunities. Investing in knowledge and openness is beneficial for all parties.

If he deport immigrants America will pay a lot of money billions from citizens taxes. He’s a monster and ignorant. America is immigrants country and America are benefiting from immigrants because are them who are working in farmers . All Americans are kids for immigrants. Ronald Reagan. Speech said that you should welcome immigrants with open arms and live together because America was bullied by immigrants. Trump himself is from immigrants parents he’s father was from Germany and his mother was from Ireland. Trump has no heart and empathy. He’s a mother.

Has Germany not considered a campaign to ask German people not being called back home rather, they understand the life & language better or making an effort to go to German speaking countries first to see if the are keen on being in Germany to fill the skills shortage quicker.

That's the joke of the day.. I as an Indian will never move to Germany for better healthcare. If I do move there, I'll actually be sacrificing it. It is much better and accessible in my country.

Germany is so desperate, the government has operations in California just to try to attract rejects from Silicon Valley. Germany should be so attractive, it wouldnt even need to think of such a thing, especially not the actual German government paying for 3rd parties to do such things.

Hi sir, I have a question for you, I am confused can you please help me out.\nI am in Canada right now, I came in May and am doing a business administration course, it's been almost 8 months, I have completed my study and my course ends in Dec 2025 which includes a 4 month break. Soz my brother is in Germany, he has been living there for almost one year in a study permit, now he is convincing me to move to Germany from Canada, because he is saying I am alone there, if you will come it will be helpful for both of us. So I am just wondering if it's okay to move there or not because I have to start from scratch in Germany too.\nCan you please suggest me.\nWhen I was in India', I have been watching your videos since then, and your information, your knowledge, acknowledged me. It will be very helpful if you suggest me.\nThanku

Well, I see many negative comments and I agree with most of them. Germany might seem brutal, but please tell me better places in EU?

I came to Germany in 2008 to do my Bachelors and later did my masters and working for 10 years now. Got my citizenship 5 years ago. Lets say i have to travel a lot due to my work.. If i move out of Germany, it would be only because of insane tax . I expected even a colder or harsher condition but since my expectation was soo low, it was all good.. At my work place, the working language is only German. I knew that before so it was not a hard time when i was thinking from time to time regarding the difficulty.. \nOne thing and most important thing, Even after getting your citizenship in Germany you are not automatically a German. You are just a paper german ( Even though i dont hold other passport ). I knew this before and it was not hard for me but for many immigrants who become german citizens, they will still be seen as an Ausländer .. Thats the reality which will take another decade to change.

Germany you need the austrian

make a video, why people will leave Germany?

Immigrants are important but necessary for Germany. The problem is that German culture is deeply racist and the Germans have had issues with other races all along - and that is putting it mildly.

I am a German born, Germany raised second gen immigrant. I am almost 30 now. To this day, I do not feel as part of this country. Why? Constant discrimination, being treated extremely poorly, lower chances at anything really, bullied and abused since infancy. I am very highly educated and skilled throughout various domains and tried to achieve the best I can. If I work in Germany, less skilled people will do everything to sabotage me, due to jealousy. People just waste your energy and time constantly for their own insecurities. I have left some years ago and will never come back. Germany will end itself and I am sitting to watch it!

Even german skilled people are leaving germany, officially 250 000 every year.

As someone commented already, we are needed but not wanted. Dealing with Auslanderbehorde is still a mess with long wait times, and what not. There are lot of things which simply doesn’t make sense. Language is a big concern especially in all not so big cities. Inflation and cost of living still eat up majority of the salary. Incentive to work in Germany is being questioned almost every day

For those of you saying she shouldn't talk she's from Europe would that mean Europeans have the right the object to the mass migration taking over their countries like in Sweden, Germany and the UK? Should Brits object to the fact that London is now minority English?

Interesting topic, for skilled people there are plenty of reasons that make Germany unattractive as compared to a lot of other western countries.\nBut pitiably this video amplifies one of the most frequent misconceptions regarding Germany:\nIt's extremely hard to find friends in Germany and the friendliness of the locals usually has loads of room for improvement. Fair. These statements are absolutely true, no doubt.\nBut:\nThese statements do not say anything about German behavior towards foreigners/strangers/POC/YouNameIt.\nInstead any native German been raised in Germany will experience the same issues.

This woman is a traitor and how can she turn her own family in? This dumb ass is just like the germans turned people in Nazi Germany absolutely a horrible person! VoteBlue

Donald Trump grandfather was kicked out of Germany and Trump is second generation American

Subtle racism can feel pervasive in Germany, even in workplaces that emphasize inclusivity. Despite strong anti-discrimination laws, unspoken biases and microaggressions often impact people from diverse backgrounds, especially those who visibly differ from the majority. This can show up as exclusion from social circles, being overlooked for promotions, or facing subtle stereotypes. Real progress requires a deep commitment to inclusion, open dialogue, and structural change to create truly welcoming environments.

Germany pays too little and has too low pensions (and a weak pension system). Poor country.

ah wait, there is a thing, it is not tax deductible when you learn german, but it does for other languages. Because they said here is germany!

She’s like those good neighbors in Germany that turned in other neighbors that were Jews. She is one of those family members, that when she gets sick or passes they will not care. And I don’t blame them.

Living in Germany for 8 years now and I'm moving to the US in next month. Germany is pathetic ?

If you’re navigating the permanent residency (PR) process for Canada, Australia, or Germany, preparing for winter and understanding residency requirements are key aspects of your transition. Canadian winters are particularly harsh, with temperatures frequently dropping below 0°C, while Australia and Germany offer a range of climates. Picking the right winter jacket can make a big difference, especially when moving to regions with unpredictable weather. This guide covers essential insights on winter preparation and the PR process for Canada, Australia, and Germany. \nPreparing for Winter \nWhen considering permanent residency in Canada, Australia, or Germany, understanding climate differences is crucial. Whether you're working with Canada PR consultants, Australian PR consultants, or Germany PR consultants, preparation for varied climates will help ensure a smoother transition. Here’s what to keep in mind: \n1.\tExpected Temperatures: In Canada, cities like Vancouver are milder with wet winters, while Toronto faces colder, often icy conditions. Regions in central and northern Canada have extreme lows, such as -19°C in Regina during January. Germany has varied winter climates, while Australia’s milder winters can still feel chilly in certain regions. \n2.\tChoosing the Right Jacket: For newcomers, warm, waterproof, and windproof jackets are essential for Canadian winters. Parkas, puffer jackets, and wool coats are ideal for different climates across Canada, Germany, and Australia. Parkas offer heavy insulation and water resistance, while puffer jackets are versatile and suited for layering. Wool coats add style but lack water resistance, making them suitable for drier German winters. \n3.\tTypes of Insulation: When relocating, especially through global talent streams in Canada, Australia, or Germany, picking jackets with appropriate insulation—down for warmth or synthetic for water resistance—is recommended for your first winter abroad. \n4.\tBudget Considerations: Budget options start at around $50, while high-end brands such as Canada Goose or Arc'teryx offer premium options for harsh winters. Mid-range choices from brands like The North Face provide a balance between quality and cost. \nNavigating the PR Process and Requirements \nEach country has unique pathways and requirements for permanent residency. Consulting with professionals who specialize in Canada immigration, Australia immigration, or Germany immigration can streamline the process, especially if you're applying from India or seeking a provincial nomination (like BCPNP or MPNP for Canada). \n•\tCanada PR Process: Canada offers various pathways for PR, including express entry, provincial nominee programs (e.g., BCPNP, MPNP, NBPMP), and spousal sponsorship. These programs have specific criteria, such as work experience, language proficiency, and educational qualifications. Consultants can guide you through each step, from document preparation to application submission. \n•\tAustralia PR Process: Australia's PR pathways, like the Skilled Migration Program, allow skilled professionals to work and live in Australia. The Global Talent Stream in Australia also targets specialized talent in fields such as tech and medicine, easing the immigration process for qualified individuals. \n•\tGermany PR Process : Germany offers options like the EU Blue Card and employment-based visas, making it possible for skilled workers to obtain residency. Consultants can assist with the application process and explain requirements like work contracts and proof of language proficiency. \nStudying and Working Abroad \nCountries like Canada, Australia, and Germany provide work and study opportunities for immigrants, making it easier to gain local experience. Programs for study and work facilitate cultural adjustment and open pathways to PR. Immigration consultants can help identify the best routes to achieve your career and residency goals, whether in education, employment, or both. \nImmigrating to a new country means facing unique challenges, from adapting to climate to understanding immigration requirements. Proper winter attire ensures you stay comfortable as you settle in, and expert immigration advice helps navigate complex residency processes. With the right preparation, you can embrace your new life abroad with confidence.

As FRENCH, I think it is more an issue with policies set by both governments!!! You know you bring students IN and why don’t you build houses and encourage construction???? In France, many students (mainly Africa, and French departments like Guadeloupe, Tahiti or Martinique) come to study there (for free and we are proud of it!!!) BUT - unlike Canada - we do NOT have the same issues as Canada (our healthcare is NOT under pressure and our housing prices haven’t really increased that much as compared to Canada for example!!!) to me, the students are NOT to blame!!! It is the fault of the deciders (at different level) who have FAILED to set the right policies!!!! The schools are also to blame as some (not all) are so obsessed with making profits out of the higher international fees, which by way, subsidize Canadian students!!! So in Canada (not in France or Germany), the money that allows schools to function come from international students who BRING LOTS OF MONEY for the Canadian economy!!!! in France, it is different as the universities are FREE and are fully subsidized by the French government… but yes;) you have to speak French fluently to attend them!!! \nSo dear Canadians, do not blame foreign students thanks to whom your universities thrive and remain existant!!! Without them (namely the Indians too), the Canadian universities will struggle to find money and funding! Remember, the system in France is TOTALLY different!!!!\nAlso, reading from comments, I notice that many here have NEVER alert their own country!!! Stop blaming foreigners if YOU, YOURSELF DID NOT even get the BALLS to dare studying in places different than yours (like Germany, France, Sweden, Japan…)!!!! Blame and NO BALLS!!! “Grosse gueule mais Pas de couilles” as we say in France!!! Go to Europe if you dare, deal with another language, other cultural codes (we French are big complainers and are very very rude when behind wheels!!!! And we hate people who cannot speak French properly … like North Americans) and We will see how good some of you will do!!!

Germany

I got the message from this video: if you are foreigner and wants to come to Germany, you should accept all these problems and difficulties because Germany and German don't want to develop themselves. Alles klar!

I agree with the language issues. I've been living in Germany for 20 years and I speak German but the better you get, it's never good enough. I feel they expect me to speak it like a native speaker it accent free with no grammar mistakes. Plus, most are speaking to me in their dialect and expect me to understand everything to perfection.

as a nurse now i have made my final decision i chose der schweiz i have seen a lot of content about skilled workers leaving germany

She's not wrong. This is what happened in Bangalore also. North indians coming to bangalore and taking up all jobs. Starting businesses etc. so basically real bangaloreans has less opportunities and jobs . Now canada , usa,uk. Next is germany. ? . We are more notorious than invaders ?

What shame all MAGA are narcissistic. A specialist said these Maga like to do harm. Imagine if Trump wins the military will be in our streets like Nazis Germany. Inflation sky high due to his tariff policy. Within 6 years social security will run out of money. They are not just harming others but will be harming themselves. I bet she is on social security, welfare and social benefits will be gone with Trump as president. A lot of these Maga morons will lose all their entitlements. Idiots.
