why America needs immigration
“Frankfurter” comes from Frankfurt, Germany, where hot dog sausages have been enjoyed since the Middle Ages.
Henry Thumann arrived from Germany in 1928 when he was just 17 years old. He went on to make very fine hot dogs.
By 1959 he employed 30 butchers to cut up livestock.
Other butchers sliced up parts.
Still others worked the grinding machine
mixing salt and garlic and paprika.
Thumann hotdogs are served deep-fried at Hiram’s.
What’s Hiram’s?
Only the best hotdog stand in America by no less than Bourdain.
Located in north Jersey just south of the GWB, Hiram’s has been bursting dogs and boosting cholesterol since 1932.
And looks it.
Apparently, not much has changed.
But oh, oh! The DOG.
When a hotdog is deep fried until it bursts it’s called a “ripper”.
Two with onion rings and Coke was one too many.
Thumann’s are big.
I loved and ate them both.
Health concerns about nitrates, preservatives
and colon cancer seem somewhat overblown.
Henry Thumann passed away in 2009. At 98.

As Syrian refugees pour into Europe the world watches for signs of hope.
Because Germany's population is aging fast,
migrants are finding their first real hope there.
It turns out that the proportion of older people in the population relative to tax-generating workers is rising quickly in Germany.
Germany needs more children to grow up into tax payers.

The good news is Germany projects it can absorb as many as half a million refugees a year for some years to come.
The bad news is in a study published by the Institute for Labour Markets that found there is "a very high proportion of people who had completed no professional training".
This means they haven’t actually been to school.

So young migrants must learn German and a skill.

The US has been sending only money.
The UN's special representative for migration, Peter Sutherland stated this was no substitute for taking migrants in.
"Buying your way out of this is not satisfactory," he said.
