Germany- 1 Year After Migrant Crisis Began, Many Refugees Remain Unemployed

Very similar to some UKIP strongholds. I don't necessarily see the irony; many people travel about the UK and can see for themselves how certain areas are pretty much '**** holes'.
Maybe in Germany's East those that travel much have already done so. Namely in order to leave for the West altogether. Better work chances, better infrastructure and all that. Those left behind already live in crapland. Not by their homes constituting dumps but by being in what many even call "the Siberian Taiga" by now. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, beautiful as it is in scenery and nature, would be a fine example. Where it has by now the best "Autobahn" net of virtually the whole Republic (making the M1 towards the more Northerly parts still look like a dirt track even with all the measures of improvements), those roads lead to Schwerin, Stralsung (bigger cities) and still constitute the fastest connection between Hamburg and Berlin. The don't lead anywhere else because there is nowhere else.

It is a case of vote for the 'extreme' in the hope that where you live does not change beyond recognition.
If anyone thinks he can vote for everything to stay as it is where he lives, he's already as dead as where he lives ultimately will be.
in addition, you have to ask: why would areas with high migration vote for any party that sniffs of anti-migration?
but that is precisely what is NOT happening. AfD has far less support in areas with a high migrant percentage (mostly in the West).
It's a bit like Turkey's voting for Christmas :) Not going to happen.
I get the analogy but it's not applicable in this case.
 
Why do people who favor limitless immigration always seem to lack the foresight of seeing what it will lead to?

There aren't too many who believe in "limitless" immigration. As a matter of fact, I don't think any country has ever had such policy. Further, immigration doesn't always lead to negative outcomes (See America).

However, there are times when there are foreseeably disastrous outcomes with respect to immigration and Germany has gone ahead and done everything they can to wreak disaster on their own nation. It is beyond partisan political views to call this anything but a guaranteed nightmare for the German people for generations--at least. There may be many who will integrate into German society and become good German citizens. However, there are too many that will not.

I'm not one who fears immigrants simply because they're immigrants. But this is a situation in which it can fairly estimated that thousands of hostile and violent operatives took advantages of the opportunity to lay future plans to wreak havoc on Germany. One has to wonder what German intelligence agencies have to say about this. God, what a nightmare.

ETA: I know what Germany's intelligence apparatus has said in public; it's what they say in private that would be interesting.
