They can never integrate a people who hold another constitution greater than their host nation dear to their heart.

Worse than that, the new people want to supplant the existing constitution of their host.

It’s like Obama and crew maintaining that the American constitution is “outdated” and needs to be replaced with something more sharia compliant.

Back then [a year ago], the chancellor was still confident that a “strong Germany” could absorb hundreds of thousands of immigrants and train and integrate them into the country’s workforce.

BS. Merkel knew all along what kind of havoc her actions would wreak. She's just another self/culture-hating leftist intent on destroying Western civ.

Since 1949, Germany has based all of their stability and calm nature on the carefully packaged deal of a center-left and center-right party taking 65-to-85 percent of the national vote every four years. You can attribute the method to crafted politics, the state-run news media, and invented talking topics every four years (pension reform, health care reform, etc).

So, we’ve come to a topic of immigration, asylum, integration, and increased crime. The center-left and center-right parties are attached to the Merkel vision. They can’t really move around and remodel this platform and shift on immigration without their own created state-run news media calling them xenophobic or anti-immigration.

From the five parties in the Bundestag in Berlin....the CSU is the only one that leans slightly against immigration and wants numerous reforms. So this outsider and new party.....the anti-immigrant party (the AfD) is the only alternate vehicle for people to vote for, and send a message.

In the end, you can look across Austria and France....both will have elections and go right-wing and have a more negative view of immigration. By November of 2017, Germany will have their election and move in this same direction.

Americans are as slow-witted as the Germans when it comes to accepting muslim refugees.
Frau Klinton will see to that and our soulless Congress will support her.

Despite the transparent leftist political bias, this article presents a classic example of the unintended consequences of government action prompting more government action which, it should go without saying, will generate more unintended consequence.

The initial government action of permitting 1.4 million refugees to come into the country has created the consequence of crime but the article describes the consequence as being one of "fear" and creates the impression that the fear is baseless. So the politicians who generated the problem are now reacting to solve the fear it creates which might be wholly unnecessary.

In addressing that fear, German politicians propose systematically stripping Germans and ex-pats like me of fundamental rights of association, expression, privacy etc., the article implies that in addressing the "fear" the politicians are overreacting to the original problem rather than addressing it, or even assessing if the original problem, "crime," actually exists.

Nowhere in the article is the point made that there is no "right" to enter Germany as a refugee or otherwise except as European Union treaty requires. Because this principle has been ignored, real rights (association, expression, privacy, etc.) are infringed. What will be the unintended consequences of these actions? What will be the government reaction (emphasis on the "action" syllable) to cure those unintended consequences?

Sweden is gone already conquered by evil IslAm . A city in Sweden is the rape capital of the world. The Koran teaches that Muslim males have the right to rape infidel women.

Muslims genocided 2 million Christian Armenians in Turkey in 1915. They gendercided murdered all the fighting age men first then unleashed rape and torture on the remaining population

The Germans are coming to realize that this is not an accident, their leaders *want* terrorists to be active inside that country.

Unfortunately, I know exactly how they feel.

Because of the brilliant track record muzzies have had for the past 50 years of integrating (never mind assimilating - which is what is really needed to make immigration tenable) into German society? Facepalm!
