Merkel agrees to limit number of migrants to 200,000 a year - after taking in more than a MILLION in 2015 - following huge outcry over her open-door policy
2017-10-10
[DailyMail]
  • Under deal, the number can be increased if there is another refugee crisis

  • A generous asylum system is enshrined in German law as a reaction to Nazi era
Germany refugee limit 'legally sound, ethically questionable'
These people are nuts. Here's hoping the AfD delegates can organize themselves to move the Overton Window on this.
[DW] Germany's conservative CDU/CSU parties have agreed on a guideline to limit migration to the country. While some call the move unconstitutional, experts say the proposal appears to be legal, though ethically questionable.

#10  So Merkel is getting better and moving away from her psychotic break with reality

Now that Obama is gone.

#9  So Merkel is getting better and moving away from her psychotic break with reality; the one that embraces national suicide?

No. Whoever shows up at the German border and demands asylum will be let in. That's now what the law says, but since 2015 the will of the chancelorette is the law.

Applying Occam's Razor, my working hypothesis is that Merkel is an orthodox. theocratic communist tying to inflict maximal damage on the West.

Her politics are compatible with this ideology. She comes from a family that had shown true commitment to theocratic communism.

The only additional assumption necessary for this hypothesis is that Merkel recommitted herself to her father's world view after a stint as a Western Democratic politician or that she'd always been a mole faking loyalty to Western values.

If there's something to this hypothesis and if Merkel stays in office one should expect Germany to become a center of major instability withing a year or two.

#8  The fact she hasn't been driven from office yet shows to me most Germans still don't give enough of a fuck about their country, countrymen and culture.

#2  "A generous asylum system is enshrined in German law as a reaction to Nazi era"

Actually the German Parliament's scientific and legal advisory service has not been able to find a legal basis for Merkel's decision to flood the country with military age Muslim men.(link in German)

#1  "And all asylum applicants – even if it turns out they do not qualify – have the right to have their individual case examined thoroughly according to the German constitution, or Basic Law."

This statement is factually wrong. Since DW is a German government institution that does know better it is a blatant lie.

People entering Germany coming from EU countries or Switzerland who claim asylum can be summarily denied entry to Germany. They don't have the right to legal review.

This has been the law since 1993.

The right to aylum in the German constitution was de facto abolished in 1993 since there's no practical way for anyone to meet the new requirements.
