Merkel: No To Refugee Freeze, In Possession Of Cunning Plan That Cannot Fail
2015-10-08

#13  family reunion visas should be opposed at ALL costs

fought at all hazard

if you have to take the refugees as trade-off but block family reunion then do it

australia learnt a bitter lesson. let one in then family reunion brings 20 more

when people migrate alone they are forced to reach out to the broader society to make friends - it is a normalising factor. They integrate. Society is interesting.

family reunion visas let them import their social support network complete. They then form ghettos and refuse to integrate.

it also encourages bad people to send in say one unaccompanied child as a forerunner to bring in the rest

#11  Has someone been watching Blackadder?

Merkel perhaps?

Had she announced that the lived in Berlin, a small village on Mars, just outside the capital city, Wooble, it wouldn't have added to the madness.

#9  Also Merkel said in the interview that, "it is not within our (the administration's) power to control how many people enter Germany."

Sounds like the definition of a failed state. She's taking credit for that?

#6  In Possession Of Cunning Plan That Cannot Fail

1. A Richard Nixon moment (I have a cunning plan for Vietnam that can't fail)
2. A P. T. Barnum moment (This way to the egress)
3. A Hitler moment (All these concentration camps sitting idle ...)

Sorry for that last.

#5  Merkel should win a trip on a tumbril.

#4  Let's see - The EU, Obama, Arafat, The IPCC (climate change dicks at the UN)/ Al Gore (seriously?), Jimmy Carter, et. al.

Yeah, diese Ost Deutscher would fit right in with this motley crew...

#2  The Merkel administration has also officially confirmed that 'refugee' families will be permitted to enter as well.

If nothing changes this means that the net intake for 2015-2016 will be around 10,000,000.

Also Merkel said in the interview that, "it is not within our (the administration's) power to control how many people enter Germany."

Madness or malice, if this woman actually intended to precipitate a major, major crisis in Europe that might require a military engagement of Western allies, then what would she do differently?
