Good, a little late, but reign her in, and next time elect someone who has Germany’s interest at heart.
Huh!..... Deathly and devastating “Executive Orders” like Obama the POS phony Muslim president who heads the Muslim Brotherhood!..... IMHO
Use it as an excuse to round up the Muslims and give them the boot.
What about the Enabling Acts?
Sounds to me as though she pulled an Obama. Curious as to what they are going to do about it.
What has always surprised me is that the other Schengen nations didn’t react to this violation of *their* sovereignty.
Gosh, what a surprise. ;^) Thanks Olog-hai.
You mean to tell me the Bundestag didnt know that at the time? Stier scheisse!
Angela Merkin.
