In Germany, 23% of the people in working age, don't work [1]. The "refugees are carrying the economy", because you are effectively paying 23% of the local working age population (I'm here assuming you aren't paying refugees to go there and not work, right?) to slack. Remove their benefits and see how quickly you don't need to import people to do those jobs.

And no, I don't care about the "moral aspect" of not "helping refugees". If you care, you welcome them into your own place.

Also, notice how you didn't go into the gas deals Merkel did with Russia and forced upon the rest of the EU.
