If Merkel says there was a humanitarian crisis, then I don’t believe it for a second. I have always thought she was an Obama loving beyotch. I lived in Germany for 4 years. I knew quite a few Germans back then (1980 to 1984) who were complaining about immigration. It was Turks and Pakistanis then. Then I knew others, who were very pro Soviet, who were not liked much by other anti Soviet Germans. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t Merkel East German? That is suspect right there.
I knew Germans in California, who were against reunification too. They thought, all they were going to get, is millions of welfare recipients. I don’t know if that was true or not, but that’s how they felt. Germany is a weird place. I have no desire to ever go there again.
