Angela Merkel has been candid in the past about why she believes the influx of refugees will be good for the economy. A high fertility rate, and they tend to be young. She's right, if the refugees can contribute to the economy and the society can handle it. However, I don't think she's right. The refugees, I believe, do not have the financial stability or education to compete for higher paying jobs, or be consumers that drive the economy. Also, much of Europe is at the breaking point over this immigration. Not saying I'm for or against the immigration, it's just the fact of the matter.
