Migration as a method of survival is ancient. Humans have always sought basic economic improvements. What happens is that when borders began to be established and some began to exploit the resources of others, simply because they were more developed, instead of sharing that development and making it communal, they have had to pay the price for what they have historically done. Migrants go where they can live better, because the resources of their place of origin have been taken by those who now do not want to welcome them.
The European community as a whole has a great historical debt with America and Africa. Germany should not assume all that debt, but for the moment it is the one that is doing the most for migrants and that could be harmful to the citizens who in the long run have benefited from the exploitation of resources from the same places where the migrants come from.
there is no moral obligation to commit collective cultural suicide
If it were up to me, a strict border regime would be introduced and this invasion of exclusively young men would be stopped immediately. and believe me, my generation is not at all to blame here. The concept of historical guilt urgently needs to be overcome in order to The concept of historical guilt urgently needs to be overcome in order to be able to implement sensible policies.

The perspective of an issue changes depending on which side we are on in the matter. Historical guilt is not going to disappear because what happened in the past conditions what happens in the present and this in turn will condition what happens in the future.
It is true that your generation is not to blame for what past generations did, and believe me I understand that 1000 percent and your concern for what may happen in Germany due to emigration, but the fact is that the young people who are emigrating to Germany are also not to blame for what previous generations of Germans did and even worse, because of what those generations did they have not had the possibility of having any benefit, which the current generations of Germans have benefited from those decisions.
What remains is for each side of the issue to assume its share of responsibility, because many other countries in the European community are also responsible for this historical debt.
In the end, governments, whatever their geographic location or political line, only think about how to solve their problems and those of their close ones. The rest is a fallacy and democracy and equality are pure utopias to pit ordinary citizens against each other and thus make a profit.
I hope that migration does not continue to be a problem in Germany and believe me, I have a German friend who had already told me about this issue and things are difficult.

Nation states operate under the assumption that their governments act in the best interests of their citizens. Yes European/Western governments have done this more successfully than African ones. Europe has succeeded in capturing, controlling and effectively subjugating Africa and most of the rest of the planets peoples and resources. Allowing uncontrolled immigration into Europe on the basis of guilt for past success in asserting itself better than those it has subjugated will however not benefit Europe. It is national, cultural and economic suicide and is occurring because modern Europe has lost its sense of self worth and thus the ability to assert itself. Ultimately this is part of the process that is leading towards China assuming a much stronger global role and western countries increasingly collapsing into cultural and economic chaos. Because China appears to be able to unite and focus its strategic ambitions and still sees itself as worthy of dominating others it looks likely to succeed while Europe drowns in a toxic stew of guilt and self doubt. The dominance European people have gained is not inviolable. It can be and increasingly looks likely to be lost. Most Europeans still however appear unable to conceive of this harsh reality and by the time they do, it may well be too late.
