Why can’t European countries just deny citizenship to them? Where are the common sense laws and rules? Why can’t they be sent back to a safe zone in their own environment? I thought here were safeguards for something like this...or at least the will to fight it!
Most nations have laws on the books that allow for the acceptance of "political" refugees. That makes some sense. And it was originally meant for individuals or small groups.
Germany's laws allow for political refugees. But I think those laws do NOT allow for "economic" refugees, folks trying to get into Germany just for more benefits, etc.
For her own reasons, Merkel has decided to classify all these immigrants as political refugees, which they most certainly are not.
