Yes, they could have, but they had to leave everything behind, and they just happen to have help from the government in the US. Not every country will help people.

Germany's recent past was the wall coming down and beeing reunited. That was already 30 years ago.

Stop watching US shows about that time. Watch some footage from the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville and think about what you can do to prevent totalitarian groups from gaining more ground, if you really want to be free.

On a side note: Germany took in almost one million refugees from the war zone in Syria in _one_ year. It is about 1.5 million in total. Have fun looking up the number for the US per year. From what I remember it has only 5 digits. So much about not helping people.
