The German Interior Ministry said on Friday that, out of 32 suspects identified so far, 27 were from North Africa or the Middle East, and 22 were seeking asylum.

And anyone want to guess how many of those 22 Muzzies seeking asylum will be granted asylum?
Some German legal expert came on TV (I live in Germany so I can speak this)...noting that you could arrest a refugee, try him in court, and convict him....but unless the sentence went over a certain period (I think three years was mentioned)....then they couldn’t remove his visa application or approval. That was written into German law, and has been there for a number of years.
All of this coming at a very opportune time. There are three German state elections coming up in mid-March. Normally, state elections aren’t a big deal and no major topics. That’s not the case for spring of 2016.
There is some thought that both major parties (making the coalition gov’t under Merkel) will suffer major losses within the three states.
The ONLY alternate political party that is anti-immigrant is the AfD Party. There are various negatives to the party (some members have a Nationalist Socialist mentality....Nazi), and they don’t have too many platform ideas beyond being anti-immigrant.
Nationally, the AfD folks can claim 10-percent of the public support right now. By mid-March and within the three German states? I’d take a guess they might take 18-to-20 percent of the vote, which would scare the Berlin folks an awful lot. Two more states at the end of 2016 will have state elections, and it could be a national trend.
