It's almost as if you are blaming Germany for not creating a bunch of jobs. The fact they opened their borders to these people is already a life changing gift. What's the answer in your eyes? Lay off a bunch of German citizens so people who have contributed exactly zero to the country over the course of history have something to keep them from robbing and raping their citizens?

I'm not justifying the acts of the assaulters or defending them in any way. I also stated that many (I don't mean the majority or even a large proportion) of the migrants are amoral people who are there because they are willing to break laws and step in front of people who genuinely need help.
The issue is that no one responded early enough to the crisis. Assad had been bombing protestors for years, ISIS had been operating for years, and everyone looked the other way. Then a natural and inevitable result of this, a child drowning as he tries to escape Syria, spurs a movement to accept hundreds of thousands of people unconditionally and without proper vetting. This was an attempt to undo the humanitarian disaster that was already there, but it was the wrong decision.
Instead of just letting millions of people into Europe, the proper course of action was to look for a real solution, and that will take a lot of time and genuine international cooperation. Unfortunately, during that time more people will suffer, but that's the consequence of not acting sooner. That's not the consequence of refusing to let in mass migrants. No matter how many mass migrants you let in, there will always be more until you address the issues creating those migrants. The people in Germany now aren't any better off now than they were in the refugee camp in Turkey. The massive flow of people attempting to get in hasn't waned either.
And I don't think this is just Germany's fault. It's the result of every world government acting selfishly and/or just looking the other way.
