How does the migration affect everyday security in western European cities?

Unfortunately, many migrants have realized that they will not be able to integrate into Germany, they don't speak the language, they don't have the will to integrate.

You see, this is about getting easy money, I am talking about economic migrants who have been sitting for one to one and a half year in migrant homes and wait for something to happen.

This hopeless situation is used as an opportunity by mafia groups to recruit new members, like the Lebanese mafia which in German cities like Berlin, Frankfurt have completely taken over the drug business.

They are eager to take desperate youngsters, promise them lots of money if they work for them as drug traffickers. Young migrants below the age of 14 are especially attractive for them, because they can't be punished due to their low age.

Let's say a 13 year-old is employed as a drug trafficker, then even if they catch him, the police will take him back to the child protective services, where he sleeps, takes a shower, eats something and then heads right back to the mafia.

This unfortunate tendency has been noticed by the colleagues [police]. The first sign of this happening was when young boys have been posing with 600-700 euros on Facebook, and this made the colleagues baffled.

So they tried to get to the root of this phenomenon: how did these migrants get so much money? Because they knew that these boys get 140 EUR spending money every month from the child protective services (which is above the full-board housing where they get to sleep and eat freely).

So it turned out that the Lebanese similarly to the Uzbeks and Albanians, so lots of these "organizations" in Germany use these people, especially if they have some common ground, liked shared nationality or language. It’s the same with Nigerians.

They [police] have taken many Nigerians into custody in the recent past. They have found drugs on newly arrived migrants in huge quantities.

Is the German police prepared to deal with the situation?

Unfortunately, no, in Berlin there is a need for 1500 more police officers. If we see Bochum, or Hamburg, anywhere I talk to colleagues: it’s the same problem. Not enough funding to improve the force, not enough funding to improve the equipment.

And meanwhile the government has declared that this year they will spend 27.7 billion euros on the migrants and almost nothing on the police, so unfortunately this situation bodes well for criminal groups.

The police and secret service is leaking more and more information nowadays, is this like a cry for help against politicians?

Absolutely, many disgruntled police chiefs are sending crime stats to the papers, because we, the everyday policeman working on the street, we see the security situation and we say the public has the right to know.

Even recently BKA has released some interesting stats, they have analyzed 70000 crimes and it turned out that 45% - that is almost half of them - have been committed by newly arrived migrant.

Police colleagues on patrol, who are called for brawls and to deal with other violent behavior, say that in the past few months regarding all kinds of violent crime (like knifing, rape, assault, robbery, robbery by group) 80% of the perpetrators are migrant men.

Now when you, your colleagues or politicians talk about this, it is the very common to get labelled as radicals.

Absolutely, the problem is that the government of Angela Merkel - and this is a tendency since 2015 august - started a witch-hunt against policemen, government officials or even journalists who dare to talk about the problem. So the problem is that you are not allowed to talk and have a constructive debate about it.

When somebody questions the justification for having so many migrants, or what are some 2 million people doing in Germany and why they want to bring in another 1 million, then he is labelled as xenophobe neo-Nazi right away, which could not be farther from the truth.

Even policeman having a migration background (Arabs, Turks, etc) experience problems with the newly arrived migrants, because they see the kind of criminal energy they have, the number of crimes they commit. They see that if they weren't in this country then obviously the crime rates would be much lower.
