Guess who said this?
It can
not be that all the young people from Afghanistan come to Germany.
If you guessed beleaguered German Chancellor Angela Merkel
you would be right.
Now that Merkel wants to run for a fourth term as German
Chancellor she is seeing more clearly. Her open-arms immigration policy has
failed. It caused her political party to decline. Indirectly, it caused Great
Britain to exit the European Union. As of yesterday, it looks like France’s
next president will be an anti-immigrant center rightist, Francois Fillon. And,
of course, the anti-immigrant candidate in the United States won the
presidential election over the candidate who wanted to govern like Angela
Merkel.
It took some time, but Merkel has finally come to her
senses.
The London Express has the story:
The
beleaguered Chancellor said authorities would significantly step up the rate of
forced returns as she battles to arrest an alarming slump in her popularity
which has fuelled a surge in support for the far-right.
Mrs
Merkel, whose decision to roll out the red carpet to migrants from across
Africa and the Middle East spectacularly backfired, has taken an increasingly
tough tone on immigration in recent months.
And in
her toughest rhetoric yet the German leader told MPs from her party this week:
”The most important thing in the coming months is repatriation, repatriation
and once more, repatriation.”
The
stance marks an astonishing U-turn from the once pro-refugee Chancellor, who
has been widely pilloried by critics at home and abroad for her decision to
throw open Germany’s borders to millions of migrants.
The article continues:
Speaking
at a conference of conservative MPs in Neumünster yesterday evening the
Chancellor revealed that she expects 100,000 migrants to leave Germany this
year, of which a third will be forcibly removed.
And
employing a tough new form of rhetoric, she warned local regions to deport all
migrants whose asylum applications are rejected, using force if necessary.

She isn't seeing the light, she isn't doing a u-turn. She's messaging. She knows which way the wind blows and she knows what she needs to look and sound like to have a chance to keep her seat. If she's elected, she'll be back to business as usual.
Germany has at least 500.000 immigrants who do not qualify for asylum under any regulation, so Merkel's plan to deport one third of 100.000 is a clear indication that she is in fact planning to do next to nothing about it.
Sorry!
Points well taken. I suspect that she will have to do something before the election... and then the German people will decide whether they can still trust her.
Merkel is actually the embodiment of everything in the globalist bailiwick. She likes power. She'll say all kinds of things to keep it, so she can be a member of the "club" that makes important decisions for us, against our interests as citizens. She's rationalized all this through her position to save humanity and the planet. It's actually humorous how transparent it all is.
The voters will have to trust her to vote for her. Can they? I would not bet they can, or will.
If a national leader has the authority to choose to deport or not deport 100,000 people on her own, without any legislative involvement or statutory reference, he or she has too much authority.
The same applies, of course, to the initial admission of these people.
You can take the girl out of the DDR, but you can't take the DDR out of the girl.
"Ve haf our vays...."
My Grandpa taught me to judge people (but especially politicians) by what they do, not by what they say. What I am hearing is that she wants to be reelected.
Will she change her behavior? I doubt it. The German electorate is starting to learn this. There are plenty of others that should have their chance to show how they will untangle this current mess in Germany.
BTW, I don't think it is accurate to characterize the President-elect as being anti-immigrant. He certainly is indicating that he is against illegal immigrants but not all immigrants. I still have some reservations about him, but he has always struck me as being open to immigration as long as they follow the legal requirements.
