We were hearing a lot of the same grumblings when were there in the early to mid 90's. A Turkish housing area was set on fire by some neo-nazis and a couple of people died. It seems like there was a big Turkish riot in Frankfurt because they believed the arsonists weren't really being pursued. They were saying then that their social security system was being bankrupted because of their own immigration problems. Some in Germany believed immigration and the drain on the economy were a contributing factor in the perceived rise in neo-nazi youth gangs.
