Mass Migration is Depressing German Workers’ Wages

René Springer, the Alternative for Germany (AfD)’s social affairs expert, claims that the present German regime’s immigration policy is putting downward pressure on skilled German workers.
Although the government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz claims to fight for workers, Springer claimed that Scholz’s policies are a form of “aggressive neo-liberalism.”
“The state is now only a vicarious agent of a neo-liberal policy to lower wage costs on the backs of employees,” Springers said to German media outlet Junge Freiheit.
According to a report by Remix News, Springer made a request to the federal government where he asked about the wage differences between Germans and foreigners. The government responded and passed on this information to Junge Freiheit. Per government report, German employees made an average of €3,643 in 2021. This figure is more than €900 greater than foreigners, whose average salary hovers around €2,728. The gap has increased by over twofold since 2012, when it was €400 monthly.
The AfD claims that Scholz’s is pursuing politics at “the expense of employees.”
