9. Many comments assume anti-Semitism
First of all, let's put that decision into some perspective: Germany has become the country with the largest number of Jewish immigrants - yes, even more immigrants than Israel.

Next thing is, Germany has restrictions immigration on many countries - you can't just come there, if you want to. Most other countries do the same. In fact, Germany had relaxed these laws for Russian Jews, putting up a special quota. That has caused a variety of problems, especially for the Jewish communities, because more than three-quarters of the immigrant Jews were reliant on welfare payments.

You might read some information from these sites, before you fall in the stereotypical German bashing.
