Cities in Germany have warned that �social peace� there is at risk due to an influx of economic migrants from Bulgaria and Romania.

In a stark warning to the UK, reports tell of an epidemic of illegal working, chaos in schools because so many children can�t speak German, and an alarming increase in organised crime since the migrants arrived.

Dortmund, Hanover, Berlin and Hamburg say they are struggling to absorb a six-fold increase in economic migration from the two countries since 2006.

The rise is exacerbated by the euro crisis, which has forced Bulgarians and Romanians to seek a better life in their nearest big economy.

A report by the German Association of Cities says they face �significant costs as a result of this poverty migration�.

They are demanding financial support from Chancellor Angela Merkel, telling her �the social balance and social peace is extremely endangered�.

It comes as worried councils in the UK appeal for help with an expected influx of migrants from Bulgaria and Romania when they are given free access to our jobs market from the start of next year.

It has warned that more arrivals will put greater pressure on already overstretched schools and housing services.
BENEFITS: HOW THEY COMPARE

UK: Bulgarians and Romanians who come to Britain from January 1, 2014, will be eligible for most benefits if they have work, are self-employed or seeking a job, have an address and intend to stay.

They would be means tested, but could get: Jobseeker�s allowance, housing benefit, working tax credits, incapacity benefit, disability living allowance, income support and child benefit.

Germany: Immigrants can claim child benefit until the child is 18, or 25 if still in education.

It is �160 per month for each of the first two children, �165 for the third and �187 for each subsequent one.

A scheme barring EU citizens from jobless benefits until they have worked in Germany for a year is being legally challenged.

Romania and Bulgaria: The only government welfare payments are child benefit, which is �3.50 per youngster per week in Bulgaria and �3.69 in Romania.

Councillor Nickie Aitken said: �We need some firm answers from the Government both on numbers and whether we can expect any extra help for bulging school rolls and housing services already squeezed to the maximum.�

Romania and Bulgaria joined the EU in 2007 but under �transitional controls�, most low-skilled workers have continued to require permission to come to the UK.

From January 1, almost 30million Romanians and Bulgarians will be entitled to live and work freely in the UK. Ministers won�t put an estimate on how many will travel here but the campaign group Migration watch says it could be as many as 470,000 a year.

Officially, there are 42,000 Bulgarians in the UK, but unofficially it could be up to 80,000. There are also thought to be 93,000 Romanians already here.

In Germany there are more than 90,000 Bulgarians and 159,000 Romanians. They are not allowed to work legally until January 1, as in Britain. But they can stay under EU rules if they declare themselves to be �self-employed�.

However the report by the German cities says: �The Roma in particular end up in desolate conditions once they are here.�

Police claim Romanian gangs send children out each morning with instructions to steal. And in Munster new arrivals from Romania and Bulgaria last year formed a tent city alongside a canal.

And all the paedos in government are interested in is GAY MARRIAGE to bring down the church and make normal marriage meaningless, Start to save your money you will need it to buy weapons to protect your family and home, you wont have work as it will be given away, just like marriage ,was to the minorities,

Britain's now the migrant magnet of Europe: 600,000 come here in one year... twice as many as go to France

Britain has become the biggest magnet for migrants in Europe, EU officials revealed yesterday.

The highest total recorded � 590,950 � came to live here in 2010, their figures showed. This intake was more than twice the 251,159 migrants who opted to go to France.

It means that this country has overtaken Spain and Germany, where levels fell sharply, as the top target for immigrants seeking jobs and a new home.

The rise in numbers coming here marks a historic immigration landmark and comes as a new wave of incomers from Romania and Bulgaria is expected in 2014.

Flooding into Europe

Whitehall has declined to publish its estimates of how many will come then.

For decades, Germany has had higher immigration levels than Britain while Spain�s rates shot ahead ten years ago as its boom drew millions from Spanish-speaking Latin America.

French immigration dropped below British levels in the 1990s.

But the latest analysis by Eurostat, the EU statistics arm, indicated that economic collapse in Spain and tighter controls in Germany have made Britain the main destination for migrants from Europe and elsewhere.

The comparisons cover 2010 but the UK is likely to have retained top place in the immigration table.

Latest figures show there were 536,000 long-term immigrants to Britain in the year to April 2012.

The level is far ahead of likely totals for Spain and Germany, despite the efforts of the Coalition to cut the numbers of unskilled foreign workers.

Its limited success in this may be further highlighted next year when EU legislation allows Romanians and Bulgarians the unfettered right to live and work in Britain.

German cities facing less pressure from immigration than their British counterparts have already complained of the impact of migrants from the two Eastern European countries. Yesterday, the Mail reported that they have warned Chancellor Angela Merkel about �significant costs of poverty migration� and a risk to �social peace�.

Think-tank Migrationwatch warned that restricting the impact of immigration here is going to be a major headache for ministers.

Its chairman, Sir Andrew Green, said: �These figures are yet another indicator showing that Labour lost control of immigration. Our mass immigration far exceeds that of all the other major countries in Europe.

�The Government is making huge efforts to get the numbers under control but it is not going to be easy given that Britain has become the destination of choice in Europe.�

Immigration into Britain was running at just over 300,000 a year until rising under Labour in 1997.

Numbers passed 400,000 in 2003 and 500,000 in 2004 when the borders were opened to workers from Poland and eight other EU countries.

Germany, Spain and almost all other EU countries put curbs on Eastern European workers.

UK officials predicted that only 13,000 Poles would arrive but, in fact, more than a million did so and Polish is now this country�s second most common language.

Immigration peaked in 2010 and dropped to 566,000 in 2011. Full figures for 2012 have not yet been published.

After coming to power in 2010, the Coalition promised to cut net immigration to below 100,000 a year.

But ministers have struggled to reduce this statistic, which measures how migration increases the population after immigration and emigration have been counted.

�The Government is making huge efforts to get the numbers under control but it is not going to be easy given that Britain has become the destination of choice in Europe�

- Sir Andrew Green, chairman of think-tank Migrationwatch

The figure fell from 252,000 in 2010 to 183,000 at the latest count.

However, it is still well above net migration in Germany, whose population swelled by 151,600 in 2010.

That year, Spain�s net immigration was just 62,200 as 400,000 quit its collapsing economy.

Eurostat said immigration restrictions had been a success across much of the EU. Limits focused on attracting specific migrants to combat skills shortages, based on language proficiency, work experience, education and age.

It added: �Significant resources have been mobilised to fight people smuggling and trafficking.�

The figures reveal how the dramatic fall in migration to Spain and Germany began in 2009 as the recession began to bite. In Germany, it fell from 682,000 in 2008 to 404,000 in 2010. In Spain, it fell from a peak of 958,000 in 2007 to 465,000 in 2010.

The impact of immigration to Britain was underlined by the 2011 census, which showed the population was 63.2million, half a million more than expected.

There were four million immigrants in a decade, whose arrival helped push the population of England and Wales up by 3.7 millio
