BERLIN—Four weeks after Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the doors to refugees and Germans welcomed them with applause and food, worries are mounting that the country has been overwhelmed.
Ms. Merkel’s long-lofty approval ratings are falling back to earth. Senior officials are voicing fears of terrorists among the migrants as towns and cities run out of shelter space. And in a country that prizes order, polls show that Germans are losing faith that their government is up to the task of managing the influx as the news media show chaotic scenes of migrants sleeping outside and police responding to fights at shelters.
“It is simply too much,” said Karin Pahlitzsch, a 57-year-old teacher in the eastern German city of Dresden, referring to the number of people coming to Germany. “But the worst thing is how poorly organized everything is.”
Unlike past European crises such as Ukraine and the early-summer debt showdown with Greece, the migration crisis directly affects Germans’ daily lives. Auditoriums, gyms, and trade-show halls are being converted to emergency shelters. Government officials are starting to openly voice frustration that migrants are misbehaving, stoking fears that the influx could lead to a rise in crime.
“Until summer, the refugees were thankful to be here with us,” Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière said on ZDF public television Thursday night. Now, he said, some “go on strike because they don’t like their shelter, they make trouble because they don’t like the food, they fight in the asylum-seeker facilities.”
Germany-based Islamists have been approaching migrants, particularly minors traveling alone, Mr. de Maizière said Friday after meeting with security officials. And intelligence agencies have warned that Islamic State jihadists could try to sneak into Germany with the migrants, he said.

Anyone who couldn’t see this coming (and more) is a moron.
Merkel should have been tarred and feathered by now, but Europeans are sheep, easily led to the slaughter by their clueless leaders. That is why Obama hankers for the European-style of governing.
Rome allowed foreigners to move into the Empire and retain their tribal customs. The demographics became diluted and the culture became much more tribal and a lot less Roman. Everything spiraled out of Imperial control and eventually the city of Rome was sacked without a great deal of trouble.It didn't happen overnight, but when it started going in that direction it didn't take long for it become fairly inevitable.
This is the path that Europe is traveling.
Think its bad now, wait till winter sets in. Germany can have some pretty foul weather during the winter months. Perhaps Merkel will find jobs for them shoveling snow.
A few weeks have past, what is the mood in Europe now?
YOU INVITED THEM IN!!!
Obama and Merkel- Putin’s Poodles!
Anyone know what Merkels polling numbers are at present?
Prosit/salud freunds/amigos!
I had two friends arrested by government forces...
We all left the party at the same time...
Yet I remain, not that far from Chicongo; 50 shootings this weekend(last count).
Mexico is a hell hole, Canada is nice, but not for me; so I stay.
Living in fear, the underclass may attempt to expand their territory, with or without 0bamas help!
LOL!
Love the headline, the Germans are just a little “ruffled” no big deal, they’ll get over it.
So, when will they figure out they are being invaded?
For all their technical prowess, the Germans are borderline retarded when it comes to social engineering. They killed 6 million Jews because they were somehow perceived as a threat. Yet they let in millions of Muslims with open arms and welfare state benefit.
Obama and Merkel- Putin’s Poodles!
Looks like Bavaria is getting a large chunk of them. A lot of snow in those parts.
