I decided to read this book alongside a scientific analysis of the gathered data on immigration and its results (desired or not).
As feared, this book gives the real-life look, boots on the ground so to speak, of what the data from the other book shows. And it confirms that the other author was right about the shortcomings (mostly politically) and that his suggestions for improvement are dearly necessary.

This is the account of a Bundespolizist, equivalent of the FBI/Marshals in the US (in this case mostly tasked with border control), and thus more "emotional".
It tells his life story and the reason why he quit (in Germany, a cops is a Beamter, meaning much better pay than in the US and a job for life so giving up all those benefits AND your own idealism means the situation must indeed have been unbearable).

The real-life insight is frustrating, maddening, and saddening.
