Thousands of people took to the streets in eastern Germany to protest against the influx over the weekend, and a refugee shelter was set on fire in the latest in a series of arson attacks.
Some 2,500 people formed a living border in Sebnitz, on the border with the Czech Republic.

In both Europe and America, the leaders no longer care about what the people want. Any concerns will be dismissed as racist and xenophobia. They will continue to follow the order of their Masters.
