Two-Thirds of Germans Want Policy of Open Borders GONE
The Stream ^ | 4/6/16 | Jonah Bennett

Germans have finally had enough of the hundreds of thousands of migrants pouring across the country’s borders without needing to show a passport.

A new poll conducted by Ifop found that two-thirds of Germans want the open border policy, also known as the Schengen zone, to end completely, The Local reports.

The Schengen agreement allows the free movement of people within the European Union without having to display a passport. Since the terror attacks in Paris and Brussels, the patience of German citizens seems to have run its course, given how nonchalant Belgium has been in cracking down on radical Islam in its own capital city. A total of 79 percent of Germans think some of the migrants are possibly terrorists in disguise.

The poll discovered that 47 percent of Germans believe the country just can’t hold any more refugees, given that 1.2 million have already crossed into Germany during 2015. The country is also set to run out of prison cells at this rate. Foreigners comprise just nine percent of the total population but are 30 percent of the prison population. This fact has not gone unnoticed by Germans.

A leaked report from German federal authorities also showed refugees engaged in more than 200,000 crimes between 2014 and 2015.

Meanwhile, Germans are sending a message to the government apart from just responding to opinion polls. Authorities have recorded around 300 attacks in 2016 so far on migrant camps. If this figure continues at the same rate, it could foreseeably surpass the number of attacks in 2015. In other words, sentiment against these migrants, many of whom have entered Germany purely for economic reasons, is starting to boil over.

To help combat the worst of refugee transgressions and provide native Germans with some level of comfort, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere is developing a bill forcing migrants to either integrate or leave the country. The bill is expected to be released in May.

“For those who refuse to learn German, for those who refuse to allow their relatives to integrate — for instance women or girls — for those who reject job offers: for them, there cannot be an unlimited settlement permit after three years,” Maiziere said, according to The Week.

As a last resort, try the Ceausescu Protocol.

Gee, open Boarders. What could go wrong?
A population restraint, prosperous Ethnic culture, overwhelmed by an influx of immigrants, by a population explosive ethnic group that does NOT share their values.
What Could Go WRONG?

Why should anyone think that the German overseers give any more of a crap about what the people want than ours do?

If you don’t have real borders you don’t have a real country.

We know that to be true but our leaders pretend otherwise.

They probably already do so, but none of their politicians is listening — just like in the States.

2/3’s of American citizens want our open borders closed and our laws enforced.

Both parties have other ideas.

The German policy of “better a rapist than a racist” will continue in full effect.

Our masters know that to be true, also.

That’s why they pretend otherwise.

Far too late.

Either they abandon socialism, or they abandon their borders.

Unfortunately, I am inclined to agree. This is a mental illness that engulfs all of Europe, France and Germany in particular.
