Author warns of massive public-funded asylum spending scheme
Björn Harms claims that state asylum assistance has generated an enormous, conservatively estimated cost since 2016, describing it as an "Infinite Money Glitch".
Björn Harms, a former JF journalist and co-founder of the magazine "Glut," discusses his latest book "Der Asylkomplex" in a video interview. He argues that asylum services, covering accommodation, schooling, and mental-health support, have accumulated a staggering cost for the state since 2016, which he describes as a conservatively estimated figure. Harms calls the phenomenon an "Infinite Money Glitch," suggesting that the government can draw on taxpayer money without clear limits.
He asserts that a wide range of actors profit from this system, though he does not name them specifically. The interview is available on YouTube, with a placeholder notice about third-party data sharing.
