Germany has closed its border to visitors from Europe due to coronavirus, but migrants claiming asylum from the Middle East and Africa are still allowed to enter the country.
Aside from exemptions for people from France, Luxembourg, and Switzerland who are providing essential services, German authorities closed the country’s border to all foreign citizens last week.
However, according to the German Ministry of the Interior, so-called “asylum seekers,” a catch-all term that basically describes economic migrants fleeing from the Middle East and Africa, are still welcome.
“At Germany’s EU external borders [airports and seaports], there has been no change in the [asylum] procedure,” a representative of the Ministry of the Interior told Junge Freiheit.
This means that Europeans who previously had a right to enter Germany are being treated as second class citizens compared to migrants from the third world, who merely have to utter the word “asylum” to enter Germany and have their case heard, even in the midst of a deadly global pandemic.
“In practice, this means that if a migrant were to illegally enter the European Union’s Schengen Zone via Italy or Greece and make it to France or Switzerland, he can still demand asylum in Germany, and thus must be allowed to traverse these countries so that he can formally request it on German territory,” reports Voice of Europe.
The situation is similar in Sweden, where asylum seekers will continue to be processed and allowed to stay in the country despite a global pandemic.
Given that migrants already in Germany rioted and displayed ISIS flags when told their refugee camp had to be put in quarantine, one wonders whether newly arrived asylum seekers will obey lockdown rules.

In February, the USA imported 3,000 new “refugees.”
A couple dozen were from Iran.
COVID-19 is completely out of control in Iran, but not quite as bad as Italy.
When a person attempts suicide, friends will normally intervene. When a country commits suicide? Do Germany and the German people have no friends?
They sure as Hell aren’t the same Germans my old man faced in the Ardennes and later on crossing the Rhine...
I agree with you that is the plan. One World Government. Start by culling the vulnerable. I read CDC stats for deaths in U.S. in 2017 and 2018. In 2017 55,672 people died of influenza and pneumonia. In 2018, 59,120 people died of influenza and pneumonia. Heart disease killed 647,457 in 2017, 655,381 in 2018. And apart from influenza and pneumonia, chronic lower respiratory diseases killed, wait for it....160,201 people in 2017 and 159,486 people in 2018. Will corona virus now get credit for flu, pneumonia or chronic respiratory deaths? Will flu and chronic respiratory numbers go down and corona virus numbers go up. I would think these numbers should remain about even and corona virus get its own category.
How to commit national suicide.
Evil. Demonically evil.
She is a complete idiot!
We wish. I think Frau Merkle is a willing and enthusiastic tool of the globalists.
More proof Liberalism is bad.
This strikes me as not only incredibly stupid, but if the Wuhan virus is rampant in Germany, this means those invaders are likely to become infected. This means German citizens will be crowded out of treatment when the invaders overtake all the services. It also means the invaders, once infected, will infect large numbers of people as well. Thank God I am an American living in America.
SPJNK.
This is insane. As if the Croatian without a cough is safer than the unvetted Turkish migrant who probably has half a dozen different diseases and parasites in tow.
I read a book written by a GI who landed in Anzio, Italy during WW2 and fought up Italy, across France and into Germany. He said that in Germany as the allies cleared the Nazis out of towns and villages, towns people could be seen out in the streets sweeping and making repairs...while in France and Italy, they were still waiting for help to arrive.
BTW, very few GI's survived that same treck.
“...landed in Anzio, Italy during WW2 and fought up Italy, across France and into Germany....BTW, very few GI’s survived that same trek.”
Long, hard slog, brother. The Italian campaign was no picnic (not that any of WWII was, for that matter).
It’s interesting to note that Rome didn’t get taken until the June 5th 1944... the day before the Allies landed at Normandy. From September of 1943 until June 1944. Kesselring knew his sh*t on the defensive...
LOL! This sums up Germany in a nutshell.
Dennis Prager is right. The key to running a country well is to look at whatever the Germans are doing - and do the exact opposite.
He sure did. I read that it pist off Mark Clark, who had a chance to slice across Italy and trap thousands of German Troops, as in Korea's Inchon invasion and instead wanted the glory of capturing Rome.
I always wondered why, after taking Sicily, we didn't take Sardinia and Corsica and flank two thirds of that country, and save thousands of allied lives.
Germany was
Poland does not need that.
One would have thought 9/11 would have given a lesson but alas no.
“.. why, after taking Sicily, we didn’t take Sardinia and Corsica and flank two thirds of that country,...”
That’s a good point, but I have no answer.
Possibly, looking at the situation back then, from eyes-on-the-ground at that moment in time, it was a different situation than we see it now.
Were Sardinia and Corsica garrisoned and fortified with German troops, I guess, is another question; would the cost of taking them have been higher than slugging it out on the mainland...?
