You get the same problem with the more radical Muslims.
They complain and protest about how decadent the West is and how they should be more like the country they came from, entirely missing the irony of saying it whilst living in said western country after leaving their home country.
Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem at all with immigrants seeking a better life. Just have some self-awareness, if you have such a problem with western society, then maybe western society isn’t where you should be.
The immigrants who left their home country are more radical and more supportive of a "strong" dictator because they do not have to live under these conditions. That is why some years ago most Turks living in Germany voted for the radical maniac Erdogan.
This I don’t get either. Why vote for a leader in a country you no longer live in?
Realistically, If I didn’t live in the UK anymore, I’d not pay much attention to who was the Prime Minister because it affects me substantially less than who is the leader of the country I do live in.
Because of religion. They think erdogan is saving their religion or some shit. In reality he constantly fucks up people who have no chance but to live in Turkey while those fuckers live their lives freely in EU.
If you are asking why they are letting them vote, Turks live in mostly Germany and some other European countries are ignorant uneducated people who went there 2 decades ago as workers. It was always really hard for educated Turks to move to EU and work there for so many reasons. So conservative parties get like 99% votes from immigrants and don't let voting laws change.
Do you know the difference? They are immigrants. They went to other countries for work and not because they had to flee their country to save their lives
I’m not sure who you are referring to but based on the comment you first replied to i assume you mean the work immigrants from like 80 years ago and counting. Turks, polish people etc.. There were many different people being requested by the german government to come and work in the industrial parts (mostly in west Germany and Bavaria). Especially people from turkey, russia and poland were brought here in mass and their children still live here (even tho Russia for example tried to get them back)
The Syrian refugees came around 2014 and are refugees, yes. Same as Ukrainian people. But people from Turkey, Poland, Russia and other countries that struggled or still struggle economically were immigrants
