The future of mass migration looks like this: to prevent riots, taxpayers' will hand over 'protection money' to unwilling migrants to keep them dependent but calm
Keep in mind, too, that A1 level is a very low level. *Very* low. You can do next to nothing with it. I mean, sure, you can tell people what your name is, where you're from, and a few other such tidbits, but that's kind of it. In other words, even those who pass with flying colors are woefully underprepared for functioning in a German-speaking country. Alas, getting to that low level may very well take a couple hundred hours of study (it depends on the student and the study program), which can seem quite daunting to little-educated people. So, the question becomes: is it the Afghan's fault, or is it Austria's fault for thinking he was assimilation material?
I see no good options for handling any of this, except to say: when you're in a hole, it's generally a good idea to stop digging. As in: maybe stop letting in so many people?
Re: the (non-)working Ukrainians
For better or for worse, when people move to another country, they generally end up in jobs they're overqualified for. Yes, there are exceptions, and those exceptions tend to be either (a) very young people, or (b) people who moved to the new country on a work visa, having already secured a job that matches their qualifications. Other immigrants generally suffer relative downward mobility, though they may end up materially better off. (*) It is what it is. Generally speaking, it is still better to work than not to work. Of course, if the receiving country already has a high level of unemployment, then a massive influx of people will exacerbate the situation. Is this the case in Norway?
In any case, you/we can probably expect many more Ukrainians. Here's a prediction: Russia will invest in and ultimately rebuild the areas it annexes, and so some people from Eastern Ukraine may end up going back, though most will not, and no Western country will force them to go live in a Putler-occupied territory (even after Putler's long dead). However, Western Ukraine will remain a permanent basket-case, and it'll keep hemorrhaging population. Sometimes I think this was all on purpose: provoke a war in order to get a large number of people from a (relatively) culturally similar country. But then I say to myself: nah, these people (Ursula and all the rest of them) can't think that far ahead, they simply blundered their way into the situation, and they have no idea what to do now. And so, ordinary Ukrainians will try to make lemonade out of the lemons that they've been dealt, as will the local governments (kudos to Fredrikstad). And let's just hope our betters don't blunder into a mushroom cloud next, with all of us in tow!
(*) Semi-related: once upon a time, I watched some documentary about "poverty in Switzerland." It seemed like an exercise in unintentional comedy. As far as I could tell, most of those poor people had a higher standard of living than perfectly average people in much of the former Eastern Block, to say nothing of Africa and the like. I guess it never occurred to them that a non-Swiss person might watch the thing. But yes, these "poor Swiss" still suffered because they were, indeed, on the bottom of Swiss society, which is painful even when all your material needs are taken care of. Speaking of which: maybe that Afghan would like to live like a "poor Swiss" (or at least like a "poor Austrian," which isn't quite as good, but still)?
I think your consideration of Ukraine is spot-on. Once Ukraine disappears from the news feed, patience will go likewise--and then they will be treated 'like everybody else'. I suspect that quite a few will go back if there's no more grifting. (This is informed by meeting, occasionally and anecdotally, Ukrainians with big cars 'vacationing' in Europe for the time being.)
As to the immigration issue: of course, it would be preferable to stop letting more people in, esp. as we've been quite fortunate that not many, many more problems have arisen so far due to the sheer number of immigrants.
Imagine, for a moment, the magnitude of what has happened based on Austrian data: Germany has a population that's 9X larger; if Germany had taken in as many immigrants as Austria, that number would be between 25-30m.
I also think more and more that, while the WEF/High Finance cabal might have some wishes and the like, I doubt that there is 'a plan'. Yes, I do read the UN documents, and, yes, there's a lot of bullcrap there, but I think more and more that these are all ephemeral aspects: none of these non-entities, be they VdL, 'Biden', or Scholz are actually in charge, let alone them having the cognitives capacities to not only plan anything nor will the overcrowded bureaucracies be able to carry out any such 'plan™' given the cacophony of interests and their own stupidity.
Re the Swiss anecdote: having lived among them for a decade, I concur; the poverty line in Norway is around US$ 55K for a family of four per year…
The protests and chaos would go away after protesters and ringleaders were rounded up, deprived of careers and assets, and confined to labour camps for a couple of years. I mean protesters that block legal actions in this case, or in other ways break the law in their struggle.
And no need for flying. Boats can be commandeered, loaded with people and unloaded at Lampedusa, or anywhere along the North African coast.
As for dependents - if you think in terms of fair like you do here, what about what is fair for all the indigenous children? Put them first in the equation instead, since we all know what they'll suffer in a multicultural islamic corporate state.
It can be done, logistically. After the first few very harsh and publicly brutal deportations, most that you want rid of will opt to leave anyway. F.e. offer a grace period of 90 days - anyone ordered to leave who stays on after has all their belongings and assets confiscated, and is confined to a labour camp until they agree to leave.
Meanwhile, the 10%-15% of the African and MENA migrants which are actually law-abiding and well-adjusted will experience no problems, if you base the clean-up on how assimilated someone is, if they are self-supporting, if they have visited the area they "fled" from, if they have criminal convictions, and so on.
Look at the apparatus weaponised for Covid in Austria. Now replace Covid with illegal migrants. It's not harder than that.
Many fair points are raised here, and I'll try to address them as concisely as I can:
The comparison with Covid is partially true, but the--in my view crucial--distinction is the 'opt-in' participation: take a poison/death jab, you're part of the 'in-group'. It doesn't work with behavioural changes like 'assimilation'.
Yes, labour camps are an option--just look at that Central American president (Mr. Bukele) and then you'll also know why we're not told about it. 'Diversity is our strength', isn't it? Most Westerners are so brain-washed by now they wouldn't understand that what you outline is anathema to them.
You write:
'The protests and chaos would go away after protesters and ringleaders were rounded up, deprived of careers and assets, and confined to labour camps for a couple of years. I mean protesters that block legal actions in this case, or in other ways break the law in their struggle.'
Given than many of these 'ringleaders' are well-connected, in part to their gangs/tribes, I doubt that doing so would solve the problem; it will create a lot of havoc in the short-run, with perhaps more extremist deputies rising to the top.
I see your point, but I doubt our societies have the will to suffer through the kind of carnage (think: 'the Troubles' in Northern Ireland for a comparison, with the main 'added' feature being the race war component).
The Will is certainly lacking in the leadership cadres, possibly due to fear. They fear doing anything that someone will say is "wrong", moralistically so, and are incapable of measuring that "wrong" against both the possible gain of daring to do it, and the guaranteed cost of not doing it (or anything).
So, paralysed by an imagined fear, they try to sit still and do nothing. Like a man hanging from a cliff, refusing to try to climb either up or down - which only guarantees cramps and a painful, possibly lethal, eventual fall.
On the other hand, the Swedish Liberal party today suggested making it a crime to travel to nations for which the Foreign Dep. has published safety hazard-alerts (Lebanon f.e.). The reason for this is disgusting: it has started to become common among migrants from MENA-nations to go there on vacation (where they "fled" from), then claim they are in trouble and need to be evacuated. This is so they can get a return flight for free, which is their "right" when flying from a hazardous area/nation.
Where there's a Will, there's a way. Will see what happens - PM Kristersson recently appointed to new ministers: Foreign Affairs and Foreign Aid resp. Both new appointments ran counter, in the case of FA hard counter, to what his WEF-member handlers had demanded.
Maybe, just maybe something is up? He recently cancelled his meeting in Vienna with Nehammer, due to "rain". Such a shoddy excuse, it must be on purpose to cover something else.
Well, re the cancelled meeting with the Austrians: federal elections are taking place in late September, and while the (looser) troupe around Chancellor Karl Nehammer looks like it might just pull out another surprise (the flooding in Austria certainly plays into their hands), it's hard to see which WEF/EU muppets will be 'in charge' afterwards.
Yes, that is what they tried to do to us during covid with the 'stimulus money.' Still did not help at all. Our mortgages are huge - what is 500$ going to do? Lots of people bought drugs and firearms.
Oh, the point of 'stimulus money' or the like isn't to solve any problems (except, perhaps, for providing an immediate boost to online consumerism); it is to reinforce dependency on 'the state'.
If it wouldn't bore you to death, I could provide tons of examples of esp. left-ish™ politicos, such as a Germany's Robert Habeck (of the 'Greens™'), Vice Chancellor and Economy Minister (no less), who struggles to explain basic concepts, such as 'insolvency' (there was a hilarious if very telling example of him on a prime-time TV show failing to 'splain' himself by claiming that 'because, say, a bakery, is shut down due to Covid, it's not insolvent rather than it simply stopped producing').
The problem isn't that these morons are extremely dangerous due to their ineptitude; the problem is that they keep telling citizens that all this gov't largesse is 'paid for by the state'.
This goes exactly to my current situation. I do not make much money and was recently hit by a very large tax bill for my business. My accountant said this is normal - the government punishes people with initiative who try to go outside the system. The people in the system do very well financially.
When I first became a permanent resident in Switzerland, the same happened (a five-figure sum)—me, not knowing what to do, paid, only to receive a refund half a year later (to their credit, Switzerland pays interest on overpaid taxes).
The problem is precisely that this is ‘normal’, rather: normalised, to such a degree that people resign themselves to living in such a system.

LOL no mate.
This is just how it is here. It is accurate and in line with tax law.
That's a bummer--good luck, mate!
