Germany’s Small Towns Feel the Cost of Europe’s Migrant Crisis
New York Times ^ | 04/22/15 | Alison Smale

VORRA, Germany — Even as European officials struggle with an unrelenting tide of migrants trying to enter the Continent, tranquil villages like this one in a picture-book valley in northern Bavaria are coping with the legions who have already arrived. It is here, as much as on the choppy seas of the Mediterranean, that Europe’s latest migration crisis is playing out. With the federal authorities expecting a flood of newcomers — an estimated 300,000 will apply for asylum in Germany this year, after 200,000 in 2014 — places like Vorra, population 1,000, are struggling to make room for those who are already here seeking legal status and integration. Housing has been designated, services have been mandated, and volunteers have offered clothing and services like rides and free language lessons.

"There is widespread understanding that Germany’s Nazi past and current wealth impose a particular obligation to accommodate those fleeing hardship and war..." Widespread understanding...??? The war ended a long time ago. How long do the German people get to carry that cross?

Its almost easy to believe there is a global conspiracy to obliterate western countries populated by ethnic Europeans.

Sooner or later we in the Western Democracies are going to realize that we cannot take in everyone from the failed states of the underdeveloped world.
There must be a limit..otherwise we will be over run. You just can’t run a welfare state with open borders..in fact you can’t even have a desirable country with open borders.
Ask your pro-amnesty friends..how many should we take? Another 50 million in 8 years..? How many?

A whole new barbarism, where the locals are taxed and actually pay the invaders, who bring their families with them and destroy the home of Christendom from its foundations.

The elites don't want to risk another revival.

Bet they won’t be getting the tourist dollars, either. But the French will have new tourists to be rude to.

Maybe it’s time for modern western nations to invade the places where the migrants are coming from and just make them our new homes. They invade? We invade, and settle, and transform our new settlements into good places to live.

the slow Islamic invasion of Europe continues..

Charles Martel would know how the deal with them.
unfortunately, the Euros, probably would arrest him.

Ever study the Fall of Rome? It’s even on Youtube as a series. The Fall of Rome was directly related to immigrants, who basically brought their own decrepit cultures with them and did not assimilate. In addition, Roman leaders were dumb enough to incorporate these barbarians into the army accelerating the demise. I’m sure we will end up with another civil war.

If you fell like helping the citizens of the Turd World, you can help them in their own countries. They don’t have to move in with you.

I think Germany and lot of European countries are like us, what the people want is not what the politicians want.

Germany has gotten is a$$ handed to it in both World Wars, and it’s still the country in Europe that everyone looks to. Quite a testament to its people.

All of the migrants should be housed in Berlin just as all of our illegal aliens should be kept in Washington DC.

The French have a Muzzie problem (Charlie Hebdo?) that should have them begging for `les stupides americains’ to come back.

We liberated their @zzes, didn’t we?

the ruling elite of the various European nations has sold them out to the IslamoNazi enemy. soon, those countries will be completely intimidated from within, and eventually taken over by the invading hordes of IslamoNazis —
USA’s ruling elite is doing exactly the same to America, the process is just lagging a couple years behind most European countries is all... but it is accelerating rapidly under Obama and will catch up soon

remember, the Islamics are the ONLY significant “immigrant” group that is taught from birth (and has been taught for over a thousand years) to subjugate and/or murder Christians and other “infidels” -— .... You can pick any other “immigrant” group (to Europe or USA) ... and it will have plussss and minuses... but NONE ever were trained to “take over the tent” and kill its hosts like with Islam

This is a camel of a completely different, and extremely dangerous, color
