Angela Merkel wants more migrants. “Echoing her ‘wir schaffen das’ [‘we can do this’] mantra from the beginning of the migrant crisis,” Merkel is pushing for the EU to take in 40 thousand more migrants. The “migrant mayhem” because of Merkel’s reckless immigration policy has not fazed her, since the public backlash against her seems to have subsided. Back in February, Merkel “urged Europe to take in more refugees and said Islam is ‘not the source of terror.'”
Only three months before that, however, Merkel did a complete u-turn in response to embarrassing electoral defeats and threats to her power. She ordered the EU to “intercept smugglers’ vessels and escort them back to North Africa.”
Yet the following month after the horrific Christmas market jihad attack, Merkel stated in a speech that Germany “fights terrorism with compassion,” as she again stood by her migrant policy.
Perhaps Merkel may once again do another flip-flop, with the September 24 general elections around the corner. But that would depend on if she is hit with another significant backlash in response to her renewed open door migrant policy commitment.
Merkel: ‘EU Can Take 40,000 More Migrants’, by Victoria Friedman, Breitbart, August 13, 2017:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has backed UN plans to send more Middle Eastern and African migrants to the European Union, saying the bloc could “cope with” 40,000 more asylum seekers.
Echoing her “wir schaffen das” [“we can do this”] mantra from the beginning of the migrant crisis, where the German premier suspended the Dublin Convention and invited an unlimited number of migrants to northern Europe, she told UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi that Germany was “ready to take its share”.
And speaking on behalf of the entire bloc, Merkel told Grandi and general director of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) William Lacy Swing: “That’s a figure a European Union with 500 million inhabitants can probably cope with,” reports Focus.
The UN high commissioner disclosed the plans in Berlin on Friday which would see the expansion of a two-year scheme for resettling 22,000 Syrian asylum seekers (currently in Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan) nearly double to 40,000 relocated annually from 2018.
The plans would also expand the countries from which asylum seekers would be accepted.
This is separate to the controversial EU forced migrant redistribution scheme which endeavoured to relocate 160,000 migrants currently in Italy and Greece to other EU nations signed up to the bloc’s common asylum policy by September 2017. As of July 2017, fewer than25,000 have been relocated.
Opposition to the EU forced relocation scheme are likely to reject calls from the UN to accept yet more migrants from the third world.
The most vocal opponents to accepting thousands of unvetted migrants on grounds of security and cultural cohesion are the Central European Visegrád Group…..
Merkel will at some point be looked upon like Quisling, Benedict Arnold and other infamous traitors.
She wants more innocent women raped?
What is wrong with this woman?
Take a look at your tourism stats, Chancellor (?) Merkel. I seriously doubt that any American who is paying attention is willing to visit Germany or even Europe. And that is really too bad.
My daughter (an eighteen year-old, white girl, quite attractive :) ) wants to travel abroad. Even though it’s more expensive, I will spring for a trip to Australia, but definitely not Europe.
We can do what? Destroy Western Civilization? Yeah, I guess you can....
From wiki "German stateswoman and chancellor Angela Merkel was born Angela Dorothea Kasner on July 17, 1954, in Hamburg, Germany. The daughter of a Lutheran pastor and teacher who moved his family east to pursue his theology studies, Merkel grew up in a rural area north of Berlin in the then German Democratic Republic. She studied physics at the University of Leipzig, earning a doctorate in 1978, and later worked as a chemist at the Central Institute for Physical Chemistry, Academy of Sciences from 1978 to 1990."
She is obviously a lady of extreme intelligence. She knows exactly what she is doing.
She is the enemy.
She must have gotten another bonus payment from Soros.
Yeah, and when the SHTF, they are going to ask America to save their sorry butts. Again.
Not sure I want precious American blood shed in another controversy half across the world.
I'll never forget visiting my Dad in Chicago; on the nightly news, they had a list of local young men and women who were killed in the ME. A couple of them had gone to my high school.
I'm sick of the bloodshed and I have moved with my husband. I can only imagine how you all feel, still living there. It must hurt.
We dodged a bullet with Hillary.
Someone will have to help her shuffle off to Buffalo. ;
(sorry to mix Shakespeare with old-time music. LOL!)
Soros owns every damned leader that is killing their own countries by saturating them with muslims. I can’t help but think their day will come and their treason acts will cost them their lives.
The House of Saud is by far the biggest bribery player on that front.
Did anything good come out of that highly publicized visit of Trump to Saudi?
Not to my knowledge.
Rapeugees making Mercedes?
She has decided on the “final solution” for Germany.
would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
They were on an extended vacation.
WHAT?? Saying,"moved his family east, to an atheist COMMUNIST country to pursue his theology studies" ........is like moving to North Korea to study obesity among the general population!!!!!
