00:00 [Dr. Bernd Baumann AfD Representative Hamburg] Madame president, ladies and gentlemen.

00:06 Germany with its 80 million inhabitants constitutes

00:12 slightly more than 1% of world population. But this Germany, this one percent

00:18 tiny dot in the entirety of humanity, has, according to BAMF,

00:24 the Federal Office of Migration and Refugees, in this year, 2016, already

00:30 accepted more applications than

00:36 the rest of humanity put together!

00:42 More than all European countries, plus Canada plus USA plus Australia, plus all the others

00:48 This one tiny percent wee dot, Germany, took more asylum applications

00:54 than the entire world. Ladies and gentlemen, what gigantic “misguidance” had to take place

01:00 over there, what huge misfirings have to happen in order to bring

01:03 millions of migrants across thousands of kilometers

01:06 through countless safe countries into tiny Germany? Ladies and gentlemen,

01:12 I can tell you what misfirings those are. They are misfirings of the type

01:18 like the proposition that the Red-Green government dares again to present to us today.

01:24 This proposition basically shows the mentality of the deplorable welcome

01:30 and open border policies of the CDU and SPD, in which nobody else in the world participated,

01:35 as if nothing happened. They arrange for a greater and greater expansion

01:40 of groups for the newest mass immigration, which they want to integrate right away and permanently

01:46 with all possible measures; for reasons of flight that they alone recognize. Then it was

01:52 the definition of BANF. Those immigrants have to be integrated who demonstrate in general

01:58 A good perspective for staying. Integration programs should — following that logic — work only

02:04 with recognized refugees; and other than that only people coming

02:07 from countries recognized as needing help in over 50% of cases.

02:10 The efforts for integration should be directed at them only. All the expensive

02:16 language and orientation classes, all the usable professional qualification measures

02:22 and training assistance. Then also a residence permit. Then, however, Red-Green Hamburg

02:28 began strongly undermining the definition recognized

02:31 in the whole of Germany. They then recognized

02:34 more groups, giving them good individual staying perspective, especially to Afghans

02:40 whose largest concentration in Germany is in Hamburg. Well, today,

02:46 with the new application from the Red-Green, the ultimate softening is happening. Also

02:53 permanently integrated right away will be, from now on, all those without a tangible perspective

02:59 for staying, perhaps even those arriving from safe countries; so all those

03:02 whose applications were definitively denied, who however

03:05 for obstructive reasons are trying to delay their deportation.

03:08 Also all those whose recognition process

03:11 takes forever, and there are many ways to do that. The Red-Green application

03:17 is officially opening the door of accelerated integration and

03:20 perpetual stay to all refugees who wish it. Return —

03:23 The numbers — we know it, right? — will make deportation hard. Enough is enough,

03:26 and those are unfortunately the facts, we have to

03:29 to face up to it that the asylum process — after the Red-Green application — will be very long,

03:35 and this is already enough! It’s also enough

03:38 to be able to defend yourself against deportation after the denial.

03:41 In both cases there’s an entire “catalog” of possibilities,

03:44 a newly-created lawyer industry, we know them,

03:47 both mostly financed by the taxpayers. Ladies and gentlemen, here we are sending

03:53 wrong and totally irresponsible signals; you almost

03:56 cannot put a more glaring light in the display window

03:59 for the worldwide people-smuggling mafia business than with those measures, ladies and gentlemen!

04:05 In Hamburg there are already over 50,000 people

04:11 from the newest refugee wave, which the Red-Green wants to integrate in the job market

04:17 whether they have obtained asylum or have other good reasons to stay or not.

04:23 At the same time, however, and please, think about it! We already have in Hamburg 50,000 people

04:29 who have already been unemployed for so long that they get Hartz IV [welfare], just among those,

04:35 60% were originally not from Germany. And those people have been living

04:38 here for a long time, most of them were born here,

04:41 grew up, mastered the language, can write and read, went to school

04:44 and professional schools here: totally different from the 50,000

04:47 that are newly arrived and are being added. And here they have been failing for years,

04:50 ladies and gentlemen! You should be taking care of that first!

04:53 You should solve that before you settle tens of thousands more here permanently, without

04:56 legally recognized reasons for flight, ladies and gentlemen.

04:59 And one more thing! One more: You need to finally recognize that
