Migrants who commit crimes should lose their right to asylum, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday, toughening her tone as police in Cologne confronted right-wing protesters venting their anger at mass assaults on women on New Year's Eve.

Police in the western city fired water canon to disperse protesters from the anti-Islamic PEGIDA movement, which has seized on the alleged involvement of migrants in the New Year attacks and stepped up its calls for a halt to the influx.

Nearly two dozen asylum seekers were among those suspected of carrying out the attacks, police said this week, heightening tensions over immigration and fuelling criticism of Merkel's refusal to place a limit on the numbers of migrants entering the country.

If true, won’t help the situation at all...

During the Romanian revolt that ousted Ceaucescu and his missis (and put them in front of a firing squad), civilians with weapons popped up all over the place. Seems they had been “oiling the roses” for decades waiting for just that time. There might be many Germans with the same ideas.

Merkel is not a far-left anti-Christian. She is a center-Right (conservative for Germany) lifelong and still-faithful Lutheran.

She has chosen stupidly in the last year in throwing open the gates to the armies of Hijrah, but she is not permanently and ineradicably stupid.

On the matter of the former, this is all the more reason actual American Conservatives need a new nickname. Conservatives in Britain and really all over the EU have ruined the brand. Not that our own American guys have much helped, they haven't, they have let get morphed into Wall Street predatory free-trade open-border anti-nationalist globalist anti-Americanism. Screw all'y'all. Time for something different I think.

On the matter of the latter, I see her actual quotes ...

Merkel's remarks on Saturday were in stark contrast to her earlier optimism about the influx to Germany, which has taken in far more migrants than any other European country.

Her 'we can do it' slogan irritated many Germans, uneasy about the mass arrivals.

"The right to asylum can be lost if someone is convicted, on probation or jailed," Merkel said after a meeting of the leadership of her Christian Democrats (CDU) party that was overshadowed by the attacks in Cologne and other cities.

"Serial offenders who repeatedly rob or repeatedly affront women must feel the full force of the law," Merkel told journalists in Mainz.

Under German law, asylum seekers are now typically only deported if they have been sentenced to at least three years in prison, and providing their lives are not at risk at home.

Merkel's conservative party said it wanted to reduce and control migration to Germany, and send those who had been refused asylum home promptly. Such a move would require a change to German law.

"Cologne changed everything," ... ( yada yada yada )

The right to asylum can be lost ... after repeated attacks ... arrrgh.

Not knowing anything about their politics I can't rule the possibility she is being controlled like many of our own marionettes over here. She might even be being blackmailed by DingleBarry for all we know ( not far-fetched if you look into the scope of the spying ).

However, those quotes and some others I've seen on TV reports places her somewhere in the basin at the leading edge of those looking up at the Bell Curve, probably standing in between John Kerry and Joe Biden ...

This will happen, things will get out of hand and then Merkel will be resigned to the dustbin of history...

It would not surprise me if conservative Germans are now organizing sub rosa. They must act anonymously for fear that the Merkl liberal fascists will stigmatize them as neo nazis.

This is not over.

In your first post, you made the point that the Turkish guest workers fit it so well that it led to Merkel inviting the whole mid east into her country. Now you’re saying they never assimilated. Which is it?

You have been conquered.”

What country? Germany or America?
