The Failure of Germany: When Open Borders Became a One-Way Ticket to Chaos, By Richard Miller (Londonistan)
Germany, once the envy of Europe for its economic might and social order, is crumbling under the weight of a grand experiment gone horribly wrong. The numbers don't lie: In 2024 alone, 63,977 women fell victim to sexual violence, with foreigners, comprising just 15% of the population, accounting for 35% of perpetrators. Syrians, Afghans, and Turks dominate the suspect lists, with 1,530, 1,063, and 1,059 cases respectively. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Since 2015, Syrian suspects alone have been linked to 135,668 crimes, one every 39 minutes. This isn't random misfortune; it's the predictable fallout from a decade of unchecked mass migration, elite denial, and cultural relativism that prioritises virtue-signalling over public safety. Germany's failure is a cautionary tale for the West: Ignore reality, and it will bite back — hard.
Flash back to 2015. Chancellor Angela Merkel's infamous "Wir schaffen das" ("We can do this") opened the floodgates to over a million migrants, mostly young men from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and North Africa. It was sold as humanitarian heroism, a moral stand against war and poverty. But the bill is coming due, and it's written in blood and fear.
Official data paints a grim picture. Violent crimes surged 8.6% in 2023, hitting record highs, with rapes and sexual assaults up 2.4% and foreigners making up a third of suspects, a proportional increase of 4.2%. By 2024, sexual offenses reached 13,320 cases, a 9.3% jump, with non-Germans comprising over a third of the 11,329 identified suspects. In Frankfurt, foreigners handled 100% of serious sexual assaults and 57.4% of all crimes. On trains and stations, they committed 59% of sexual crimes in early 2024, doubling since 2019.
Syrians top the charts. Beyond the 135,000 crimes since 2015, a 2025 government report revealed their "suspect burden" (TVBZ), a crime intensity metric, at 8,236 overall, over four times the German average of 1,878. For street crimes like assault and robbery, it's 1,291 vs. Germans' 168, nearly eight times higher. Afghans clock in at 8,753 and 1,218 respectively. Young Algerian migrants? A staggering 56 times more crime-prone than German youth. Even in schools, 40% of violent suspects are foreigners, with Syrians at 10% of incidents.
These aren't anomalies; they're patterns. Migrants from North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa show the highest overrepresentation, far outpacing Syrians or Iraqis. Asylum seekers, just 2% of the population, make up 12% of rape suspects and 15% in deadly violence. And the stats undercount the problem: Dual citizens and naturalised Germans with migrant backgrounds are logged as "German," masking the true scale. In North Rhine-Westphalia, where they track this, gang rapes jump from 50% foreign to 75% when including migrant-background Germans. Denmark's fuller tracking would expose even more.
Germany's elite response? Denial wrapped in relativism. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser calls the rise "very worrying" but blames demographics, young men, trauma from origin countries, while touting "migration management." A 2025 ifo Institute study claims no correlation between migrant influx and crime spikes, pinning it on urban density, conveniently ignoring why migrants cluster in cities or why their crime rates dwarf natives' even adjusted for age and sex.
This is cultural relativism on steroids: All cultures equal, all behaviours contextual, Western guilt eternal. Discuss "Ausländerkriminalität" (foreigner crime)? You're a xenophobe. The press code forbids naming ethnicities to avoid "discrimination." Leftists protest North Rhine-Westphalia's dual-citizen tracking as "racist." Meanwhile, women, over half of whom feel unsafe in public, pay the price. Polls show 74% fear rising crime, 61% worry about Islam's influence, up sharply since 2019.
It's the same spoiled relativism critiqued elsewhere: Elites celebrate "diversity," while natives dodge knife-wielding gangs. Germany's failure stems from refusing to judge cultures, until those cultures judge you, with stones, knives or fists.
The Overton window is shifting. AfD's Alice Weidel blasts the stats as "government failure," demanding deportations and borders. Their inquiries unearthed the data, fuelling a 2024 European election rout for the ruling coalition. In North Rhine-Westphalia, Interior Minister Herbert Reul broke taboos: "We must speak plainly about crime by foreigners." Even Greens float "women-only" trains in Berlin, where sexual violence exploded 260% since 2013.
Public outrage simmers. Viral stories, like the Iranian migrant raping a 63-year-old on a Berlin train, amplify the disconnect. AfD's school violence query exposed the threat to kids, with MP Birgit Bessin warning: "Our children are exposed to increasing danger even in protected areas." The party's domestic expert Martin Hess calls for a "rethink" on migration since 2015.
Yet the establishment clings: Studies like Yue Huang's claim no victim spike for Germans from refugees. But victims aren't buying it, 12,600 German women assaulted by non-citizens in 2024 alone say otherwise.
Germany's failure is multifaceted: Policy blindness, statistical sleight-of-hand, and a relativist ideology that equates critique with hate. The result? A society where punctuality and safety, hallmarks of German efficiency, are relics, replaced by fear and fragmentation. Demographically, it's dire: Migrants' higher birth rates and porous borders mean the trends accelerate.
But glimmers of hope persist. If AfD's momentum builds, polls show them neck-and-neck with CDU, real change could come: Mass deportations, merit-based immigration, transparent stats. Denmark's model, tracking backgrounds for integration insights, offers a blueprint.
Germany stands at a crossroads. Embrace truth over taboos, and it can reclaim its legacy. Persist in denial, and the every-39-minutes crime clock ticks toward collapse. The Fatherland's fate hangs on whether its people, betrayed by elites, finally demand: "We built this. We won't let it fall." The clock is ticking.
