Germany’s open-door policy to refugees appears to be unravelling tonight after the country reinstated border controls to curb the overwhelming influx of migrants.
Europe’s top economy halted all trains from Austria and, in an historic move, temporarily suspended the open borders Schengen Agreement in response to the arrival of tens of thousands of Syrian refugees in recent days.
The decision marks a dramatic shift away from the current abolishment of passport checks throughout Europe's Schengen zone.
The Interior Minister did not specify how long the border controls would remain in place or give details of exactly how incoming migrants would be handled. He said there could be disruption to rail travel. Most migrants have been arriving by train.
Germany's national railway, Deutsche Bahn, said it had halted service between Austria and Germany for 12 hours at authorities' orders.
The rules of Europe's passport-free travel zone, known as the Schengen area, allow countries to reintroduce controls in exceptional circumstances, and the European Commission said that 'the current situation in Germany ... appears to be a situation covered by the rules.'

Kerry has already mentioned accepting 100.000. And when they mention a number they are thinking of a much larger number because they are testing the wind.
Wow! Yesterday it was 70k. The day before 10k.
Yes, sir. And like the Hispanic "anchor males" we have here, they will be petitioning for their extended relatives to join them at a later - but soon - date.
Same thing happening here. Let it be known that you are not deporting illegal aliens and they start flooding in.
I'm afraid, literally, that that is just the thinking of the ruling Euro elites. And once they are established in the we-have-no-borders Europe, the unknown Moslem extremists among them will be free to hop a plane to visit the Great Satan USA.
I think some in Sweden are waking up to the deadly folly of their policies. Probably too little, too late.
Enemedia, academia, and other lefties committing suicide.
They do things in increments.
These people will just trample the Police and walk over the border. The trap Germany is in is that, if they crack down in an effective way, the Libs will start calling them Nazis.
Site of the Wansee Konferenz, where Nazi leaders formulated the Entloesung (final solution) to the Judenfrage in 1942. The U.S. entry into the war made it apparent that they might not have as much time as they had believed.
Only a US politician could be as clueless.
That's how I see it. Let's save ourselves first, then help wherever else we can.
Not sure what that means but if it concerns a warning about uncontrolled immigration, the Germans failed the test.
Yep
That was a super fast education. 180 degrees in one weekend?
Sure I agree. But right wingers and leftists arent USA exclusives. They will have to eventually deal with their leftists as we will have to deal with outs.
AKA “Not out Yob mang”
...but what kind of ‘message’ are they sending to the poor, huddled, terrorist, tired masses by closing the border?
“and some of them are terrorists.”
Other than a few infants (i.e., future terrorists), that’s all I’ve seen in the photos so far.
Incredible! Germany is importing an ethnic civil war into their midst! What fools.
It's looking like most of Western Europe will cease to be Western Europe, given over to the Moslem hordes. War of one type or another is in their future.
