German MPs 'drawing up plans' to close borders in challenge to Merkel's refugee policy

German MPs have reportedly drawn up plans to close the country’s borders in a direct challenge to Angela Merkel’s refugee policy.

The move is the latest threat to the Schengen Agreement on border-free travel in continental Europe.

A group of 188 MPs including many from Mrs Merkel’s own Christian Democrat party have prepared laws to fence off sections of the border.

They say they will put them forward if Mrs Merkel does not come up with a solution to the refugee crisis within weeks.

“We must stop the flow of refugees. Considering a border fence should not be a taboo,” Christian von Stetten, the leader of the rebels and a member of Mrs Merkel's party, told Bild newspaper.

The proposals come after Rainer Wendt, the head of the German police union, called for a border fence over the weekend.

Germany has suspended the Schengen Agreement and imposed temporary border controls in an attempt to slow the influx of refugees.

But Mrs Merkel has refused to consider a permanent closure. She has repeatedly spoken out against a similar fence Hungary has built along its southern border to keep refugees out, and compared it to the Berlin Wall.

Airheads who have had only a thousand years to get to a nice point welcome out-of-control folks who have had a couple thousand years of the same old shit and want to keep it up.

why the hell hasn't law enforcement in the US stood up and done the same thing with obozo’s flooding of illegals instead of cowering under threat of being fired. If obozo is allowed to succeed in over saturating this country with illegals who have no loyalty to the US other than getting free stuff per the commie dems, in the end none of the LEOs will have jobs anyway. In short, if someone is going to kill you, you might as well put up a fight before you die.

She belongs in a war crime trial. She declared war on Europe and facilitated an invasion that has resulted in war crimes including rape and torture. Likewise so does any pol that assisted her invasion by muslims.

Because people that have too much yellow running up their backs to go into an anonymous booth and check a box for what they CLAIM to believe in, aren’t about to give up their big screen TV or anything else by taking a public action.

My thoughts exactly. What would the feds do if a governor of a border State closed the border except for trade?

"She is indeed suicidal : )"

And may in the literal sense.

Political change in Germany is usually very, very slow. The Germans are sticklers for order, method and stability.

But, sometimes it comes on suddenly and decisively.

Time for Germany to break tradition here. The army needs to do so too.

The Berlin Wall was put up to keep people in. It converted citizens into prisoners. A border wall is intended to keep invaders out. It keeps citizens secure, and preserves national sovereignty. Big difference.

Closing the windows but leaving the front door open isn't going to do much for security.
