Been living here in southern Germany for more than three decades.
At the BIG concern where I work, erstwhile Gutmenschen ("bleeding-heart liberals") are openly calling for the miscreants and their ilk to be immediately shipped back out of Germany - in cattle cars, if necessary.
Such a statement (and especially the allusion to cattle cars - reminiscent as it is of that, um, recent unpleasantness) would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.
I have yet to hear anyone say a good word about the asylum-seekers (except for my 16-y-o daughter).

Well the Austrian anti-Semitic Hitler is LONG gone. He learned his hatred for Jews in lovely Austria. He didn't leave his homeland of Austria until he was 22 or 23 years old.
Germans have always said what they thought my (my opinion). They often think similarly but may act indendently at any time.
With the INTERNET going full blast, I wouldn't put it past the new generations to demand a stop to all immigration...except Ph.D.s, engineers, mathematicians and folks willing to clean toilets and wash dishes.
1. Agreed.
2. Your daughter is sixteen. She WILL see the world, do a lot of thinking and, my guess, change her mind.
3. My guess is that the American Embassy will be INUNDATED with asylum requests....OR those folks will enter Mexico/Canada and cross into the the U.S.A. illegaly and then get financial aid IMMEDIATELY, if not sooner.
