After a disastrous set of events spiraling from her call to bring Muslim refugees into Germany that has negatively affected all of Europe, Angela Merkel is turning against her previous policies:
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 warned them: “If state governments refuse to forcibly deport migrants, then of course everyone will say, ‘I will not do this voluntarily, because they will not do anything anyway’.
And in a stunning U-turn on her open borders policy, she added: ”It can not be that all the young people from Afghanistan come to Germany.”
This has to be welcome news to those who have suffered from the unbridled onslaught of Muslim refugees. The numbers of those coming into Europe prevented that any reasonable vetting might be made of the migrants, resulting in many dangers infiltrating the more innocent among them.
Merkel is clearly reacting to the furor among her citizens and others in Europe at the daunting task of assimilating such a mass of people from cultures that are often antithetical and sometimes hostile to the values of the West.
