So as a neo-liberal Mr Sinn would like to take advantage of a million impoverised workers entering Germany by making sure that they cannot receive a benefit and therefore must find work. More than likely they will have to work on the black market, paid a cash wage half that of the regular German worker.



Inevitably this means lower wages for German workers, less tax paid and his next article will be to the effect that welfare is too costly for the German society and must be cut.



The reason the migrants are coming, is that they were invited to by Angela Merkel, but more seriously they were coming anyhow. Germany has enforced a policy of austerity throughout Europe that means that Germany is the only European country where there are jobs to be had.



Even if you cut off the welfare the migrants will still arrive, work for cash jobs, beg on the streets, hustle and sell whatever they can, steal, sell drugs etc.. Is there welfare in Syria? I think not.



Shame on Mr Sinn. Just another neo-liberal greedy cheapskate.
