Struggling to cope with a record influx of asylum seekers, Germany told its European partners on Monday they must take in more refugees too, saying the burden could not fall on just a few countries.

Chancellor Angela Merkel, speaking after a weekend in which some 20,000 migrants made their way to Germany from Hungary by train, bus and on foot, described the events of the past days as "breathtaking" and tried to reassure German citizens that the crisis was manageable.

“I am happy that Germany has become a country that many people outside of Germany now associate with hope,” she said at a news conference in Berlin. “This is something to cherish when you look back at our history.”

But she and her vice chancellor, Sigmar Gabriel, coupled their message of optimism with a warning to European Union partners who have resisted a push from Berlin, Paris and Brussels to agree quotas for refugees flowing in mainly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

The rest of Europe should tell Germany to go choke on the “refugees.”

>> “I am happy that Germany has become a country that many people outside of Germany now associate with hope,”

Hope, my eye.

It’s guilt. Pure and simple.

And giving in to that guilt over reason will not end well for Germany.

Don’t believe the lies of our media. portraying this as poor refugees fleeing war. ISIS has sent hordes of Muslims to occupy Germany, and Merkel was stupid to fall for the “poor refugees just trying to find a better life” scam.

The only true refugees are the Syrian Christians, who have no place to go because ISIS has chased them out of their homes and their country. Their homes are now occupied by ISIS Muslims, who are crowing about their caliphate as they squat in formerly Christian areas.

They should put all the “refugees” on barges and route them all to the Arabian peninsula.

Looks like Merkel is on the way to producing the world’s largest moral hazard making Munich the destination of choice for migrants. Look for the rest of EU nations to add non stop Eurorail specials to the Munich offramp to unload their refuse...I mean, refugees

We could be seeing the end of Western civilization. How long before churches are converted to mosques and ancient architectural treasures in Europe are being blown up because they are offensive to Islam? I am reminded of Jean Raspail's novel Camp of the Saints

Our government estimates there are 20,000 to 31,000 ISIS members. We hear there are 4,000,000 Syrian refugees. If this is the case, ISIS should not be used as an excuse.

Rest assured that many will be given refugee status in Europe and many of those will filter this way soon.

Why does any nation offer them permant status. They should just offer them temporary status at beat until the crisis settles. Then send them home.

CNN showed a map-chart over the weeked that over 7 million have been displaced.

Is Germany and the Euro partners going to take them all in?

Oh, and by the way, ISIS/ISIL claims that they have infiltrators in that horde.

Western Europe may be a suicidal brain dead entity, but Eastern Europe isn’t. Eastern Europeans will fight this invasion.

While those countries are loathsome in many ways, they also know the dangers presented by those “refugees”. I would say they’re smart to say no.

Yep. She doesn’t want the Western media to call Germans “Nazis” if Germany doesn’t take in the scum.
