Merkel takes less ‘welcome’ tone on refugees as pressure builds
Financial Times (UK) ^ | Stefan Wagstyl in Berlin

Refugees securing asylum in Germany should expect long delays before they can bring over their families, chancellor Angela Merkel warned on Monday in a departure from the "welcome" policy critics have blamed for triggering a huge influx of migrants.

The announcement came amid signs of growing demands in the ruling CDU/CSU bloc for a tougher response to the crisis, with Wolfgang Schauble, the powerful finance minister, adding his voice to those advocating various forms of immigration restrictions.

Steffen Seibert, Ms Merkel's spokesman, said on Monday that there had been no legal change in the government's policy. Still, in a clarification that may be welcomed by some hardliners, he explained that even refugees entitled to bring in their families could not now expect to do so because immigration officials were busy dealing with the current wave of arrivals.

"When you see this reality from one end of the country to the other, then it is clear to everyone: family reunion as it has been understood until now cannot currently take place," he said.

If the people lead, the leaders will follow.

Eventually.

Angela might welcome a bed full of lice and filth encrusted Muslims into her boudoir.

Kewl! A large immigrant population of sexually active morally indifferent Muslims should make the Russian occupation after WW2 seem like a church picnic. Nylons? Chocolate candy” Chewing gum” Cigarettes?

N A T L

No Ability to Think Logically

This should have been a total no brainer from day one.

Moving in large populations who think like the PLO, what could go wrong?

Why is the word "legal" in this sentence?

I wonder how many girls will be raped, how many people murdered, and homes broken into, before Germany throws this Merkel wretch out of office?

Someone needs to tell Merkel she’s a tad late on this one. They’ve already stormed the gates.

Merkel's education may have been long on Marx and Engels, but obviously woefully short on Goethe. To wit, The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Her horrid plan has backfired horribly.

Surely she knew the rape cases would increase....that these, er, migrants wouldn’t be appreciative of anything she’s provided and on and on.

And, she decides to be “less welcoming”, now??

Fire her arss!!!

...should expect long delays before they can bring over their families

Every Muslim "migrant" has a family of approximately 700 people they plan to bring in to join them.
