Housing migrants in Germany is a huge business.
Migrants are already draining the German taxpayer to the tune of tens of billions every year, but some enterprising migrants are earning shocking amounts of money. In a case in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, a 23-year-old Syrian migrant is receiving €13,000 a month for housing five underage migrants inside his apartment. The case is reportedly not uncommon, and according to NIUS, it represents a new “business model in Germany.” At the same time, the youth welfare offices and companies that arrange these accommodations are also earning good money.
Many of the “unaccompanied migrant minors” are not even minors, but simply lie about their age when entering Europe, as Remix News has extensively documented. More and more of these types of migrants have been arriving in Germany since 2015. Once in Germany, the youth welfare office is responsible for finding housing for these underage migrants. They work with “independent sponsoring associations” which then place these migrants with host families. Many of these families receive large sums of money for this service, while the associations also receive a generous monthly “fee” for placing the migrants.
