Poland's economy is now a European star performer. A new trend suggests further momentum, with more and more Polish firms acquiring foreign companies, including in Germany.
Germany took in a lot of refugees from very different cultures, which is fiscally speaking pretty bad. For economic migrants, countries filter out for higher income, who then pay a lot of taxes. Naturally that does not happen with migrants. Then refugees did not choose to leave their country and therefore probably want to go back. That means they have much less reason to try to get a job, as it is only for a short time anyway. The cultural and especially language differences make that even harder, as some say native Arab speaker first has to learn German, before taking a lot of jobs. That at best takes more time and courses, which cost money, and at worst means they do not work at all.
Compare that with an economic migrant, who has to have a well paying job before getting their visa and you can see the massive fiscal difference between the two.
You make a good point, and I wouldn’t disagree with it. However, your argument doesn’t really contradict what I said earlier. I still think it was a good thing that Germany took in so many refugees. Perhaps not primarily from an economic perspective, but from a humanitarian one.

The reason I posted this is to say that Germany is a bad case to look at the advantages of immigration.
Ah, I get you. Agreed
