1.) welfare state 2.) some people refuse to integrate like Expats using only English.



1. Immigrants are a net positive for the welfare state because you don't have to pay for their education and all their young years where they don't produce anything. They come ready to work and pay taxes.

2. Expats who only speak English and not the local language are the one who have no trouble getting a visa anyway. To take the example of France, the countries from where people want to migrate (and can't even come with a tourist visa) are mostly African French speaking countries.


I don’t think you can make the blanket statement that immigrants are educated, want to work (who does?!), and pay taxes.


1. This is not in case in Germany generally. What if the immigrants are uneducated? 2. strenghts my argument.


You can have free movement without extending to welfare state to non-citizen.
