A German course is approved - step forward.
A daycare place for the youngest child is not available - a standstill.
Fürstenfeldbruck / Dachau - Employees of the Caritas Migration Advisory Service (MBE) processed four fictional but authentic fates in short game scenes, including the Bundestag MPs Michael Schrodi (SPD) and Beate Walter-Rosenheimer (Greens) - who was CSU MP Katrin Staffler Not being there due to illness - a role was intended. The politicians had come to the Caritas Center in Dachau to find out more about the work of the Caritas migration advisory service in Dachau and Fürstenfeldbruck. Because even if the number of refugees is currently falling: "The need for advice is even higher," explained Dieter Pimiskern, Specialist Service Asylum and Migration at Caritas Fürstenfeldbruck. Above all, the effort involved in advising has increased because authorities were closed during the pandemic. In Dachau,According to Irmgard Wirthmüller, the responsible specialist service for asylum and migration, “we had a three-month admission freeze”.
The aim of migration counseling is that those seeking advice can soon find their way around on their own, explained Catherine Nuala McGeady-Mett, head of the MBE Dachau. In Fürstenfeldbruck, 348 people were looked after in 2018 and 288 in 2019, last year there were 211. “The majority of the new immigrants here come from European countries,” explained Head Pimiskern.
Many people seeking advice came from Afghanistan too.
The focus of advice in both MBEs is job search, placement in language and educational offers, but also applying for social benefits if a low income is not enough.
Looking for an apartment is also an issue.
The strain on employees is enormous because of the high demands, says Wirthmüller.
For real case management, as would be the official requirement, “there is often not enough time.” So you work in a solution-oriented manner.
There are uncertainties about the future of migration advice centers.
"We are concerned about the announcement that federal funds are to be cut," said Caritas district manager Heidi Schaitl.
Hence the appeal to the members of the Bundestag: "We would like you to make it easier for us."
If Beate Walter-Rosenheimer has its way, gladly. The Green MP called herself an "advocate of prevention who avoids later spending". The advisory service will also be needed in the future, and Michael Schrodi did not have to be convinced: “Germany is and will remain a country of immigration.” The SPD man asked about the integration of migrants in the housing and labor market. Women often did not work due to a lack of knowledge of German, a lack of childcare and patriarchal family structures. But men have good chances of “exploiting jobs”, explained Aylin Beqiraj from the Caritas migration advisory service. In the pandemic, however, there were "a number of dismissals, some with hair-raising justifications". But new jobs can be found, it is difficult for migrantskeep the job.
During the visit, the two members of the Budenstag discussed other socio-political issues with district manager Schaitl and other Caritas employees, such as the shortage of staff in daycare centers. Walter-Rosenheimer spoke out in favor of a better supervision ratio in order to make the job more attractive. Schrodi spoke out in favor of a wealth tax to finance necessary social services. He also advocated a temporary rent cap and a building ban for empty plots in city centers. PETRA SCHAFFLIK
