This is a statistic that people in countries where left-wing policies allow illegal poverty migration en masse should get used to: the population is getting poorer per capita because the state is simultaneously stifling productivity growth through its hyperactivity. Welcome to the economic death spiral of socialist ideological idiot politics!

But your stance looks like you blame immigrants. Sometimes they are forced to do certain things and limited by accepting government. This is the case for Germany. It is just nanny state that accidentally decided to fulfill humanitarian mission (welcoming immigrants is a virtue and economies benefit from it).
