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.

lol
Things are rapidly going South for Merkel, she’s getting more unpopular each day, with the German people and with the CDU-CSU. I’m holding to my feeling that she won’t be Chancellor come Spring.
The MSM are a bit quieter about the Muslim horde, I’m not sure the reason for this. Is it because the tide is turning or is it because even worse is happening and they’ve got a memo telling them to not do so much reporting on the Muslim horde?
Yesterday we did have the story of the mayhem at the Channel Tunnel. The Tunnel was shut again, as hundreds of Africans tried to escape through it to get into Britain.
Merkel gave a speech yesterday talking about 60 million migrants and that the world needed to help. She’s repeating the UN figure of 60 million, she’s advertising for her to be the next UN Secretary-General, when the Nobel Committee give her this years Nobel Peace Prize I think the UN Secretary-General thing will be in the bag.
The Africans trying to get through the Channel Tunnel they say was organised by British Anarchists. If so they need rounding up and arresting and putting into a camp and kept there.
They are traitors and are aiding a potential enemy.
Most of the comments for that article, they are definitely anti-invasion. There’s a few obvious traitor Leftists, but the majority are from the sane section of society.
Lol I feel like am I going crazy, I’m responding to my own posts! OMG!
