EU Elites Import Millions to Dissolve Nations

EU parliament member Hermann Tertsch declares elites use mass migration to erase national identity, as mandatory quotas take effect June 1 while German welfare dependency soars and political support for establishment parties collapses.

"We bring millions to end the nation," EU parliament member Hermann Tertsch declared May 24, as Brussels prepares to enforce mandatory migration quotas on Germany and its neighbors next month.

Tertsch argues in La Gaceta that European ruling elites openly promote mass immigration for demographic replacement while channeling public resources to political and private beneficiaries. His framing echoes warnings from right-wing voices across Europe about the steady erosion of sovereign identity.

The deadline arrives in June. The EU Pact on Migration and Asylum becomes fully operative June 1, establishing a mandatory solidarity mechanism that sets a minimum EU-wide target of 30,000 annual relocations of asylum seekers from frontline states to less-exposed members. Countries that refuse face a penalty of €20,000 per migrant. The mandate transforms mass immigration from national choice into European obligation.

Germany already shows what happens when the policy takes hold.

On May 6, Labor Minister Bärbel Bas declared in the Bundestag, "No one is immigrating into our social welfare systems." Her own government's data tells a different story: nearly half of Bürgergeld recipients lack German citizenship. The contradiction between official rhetoric and statistical reality exposes the gap between Brussels's mandate and the human cost ordinary citizens bear.

Federal Employment Agency statistics reveal 48 percent of Bürgergeld recipients are foreign nationals, while 64 percent of all welfare recipients carry a migration background. The government spent €21.7 billion on foreign welfare recipients in 2025 alone — nearly every second euro of the program's budget. Germany allocated nearly €50 billion for immigrants and border protection in 2023.

Recognized refugees receive €563 monthly plus housing, healthcare, and family benefits. The numbers create incentives the government's own coalition agreement acknowledges are unsustainable. CDU deputy Günter Krings told Bild the social system has become "a magnet for many EU foreigners" who work only a few hours a week before collecting state assistance.

The political consequences are immediate and severe. The Alternative for Germany leads national polls at 29 percent, seven points ahead of Chancellor Friedrich Merz's Christian Democrats. Merz's personal approval rating sits at 21 percent. Sixty percent of Germans say the government has failed on migration.

The CDU lost 12 points in polls over the past year while the SPD dropped six. The collapse marks the most dramatic political shift in modern German history, as voters reject leaders who cannot reconcile Brussels's demands with their citizens' reality.

Bas defended her statement on May 12 at the DGB Congress, calling it "too short" but standing by its substance. "I tried to answer briefly because in a government question session you don't have that much time," she told union delegates. Her ministry later stated that "welfare fraud must be fought hard" while maintaining immigration addresses skilled worker shortages.

Opposition lawmakers seized on the disconnect. AfD MP René Springer said, "Every statistic refutes her. The immigration into Germany's social systems is verifiably documented and one of the main reasons why the Federal Republic is heading toward state bankruptcy." CSU MP Stephan Mayer echoed the concern, warning that immigrants "are bringing the system to its limits and to the brink of collapse."

AfD leader Alice Weidel called Bas's denial "symptomatic of a government incapable of changing anything." Even within Bas's own party, former SPD Bundestag member Joe Weingarten described her statement as "a completely unrealistic assessment" that leaves her "largely alone in the SPD."

The governing coalition's own agreement contradicts its public stance, stating that "incentives to immigrate into the social systems must be significantly reduced." The document includes provisions for suspending family reunification for subsidiary protection beneficiaries, accelerating deportations, and strengthening enforcement of returns. Yet it does not include a de facto immigration freeze — a CDU election program demand excluded from the final agreement. These policies sit at odds with both EU mandates and current government actions.

Achim Brötel, president of the German Association of Rural Districts, acknowledged the system's pull. "That Germany is attractive to many people from other parts of the world because of its social state is already shown by the fact that most refugees within the EU came to Germany," said the CDU member. "No one can seriously dispute that the proportion of migrants receiving social benefits is disproportionately high."

Tertsch extends his argument beyond Germany. He asserts the government has issued more German passports to immigrants in one year than any previous administration. He writes that ruling elites promote "the trafficking of slave labor" alongside "the immense business that the immigration industry already represents as an effective way to extract resources from the treasury for political and private beneficiaries."

Tertsch also argues the government has collapsed the economy with 500,000 jobs lost in three months. He further claims Bas stated Germany needs "millions more immigrants" to dissolve Germany's "brown uniformity."

The EU's own data presents a different economic picture. Germany faces 639,000 job vacancies nationwide, yet migrants earn 34 percent less than native-born workers with similar qualifications. Refugees face a 63.7 percent poverty risk according to DIW Berlin research.

Naturalized refugee share rose from 2.1 percent in 2021 to 7.5 percent in 2023. Meanwhile, 67 percent of Germans support stricter immigration controls.

As the June deadline approaches, European leaders enforce policies their own data shows are failing. More than 430,000 Syrians who arrived since 2015 remain dependent on welfare. Nearly 460,000 migrants received asylum seeker benefits at the end of 2024.

Foreign nationals account for approximately 25 percent of basic pension support recipients. Over 70,000 migrants under deportation orders still draw welfare benefits.

The question is no longer whether Germany's welfare system can sustain itself under EU-mandated migration. European citizens face a choice: accept civilizational replacement by elite fiat, or demand their governments reclaim sovereignty over who enters their borders and who benefits from their social systems.
