Reuters: Germany's Merkel says refugees must return home once war is over

German Chancellor Angela Merkel tried on Saturday to placate the increasingly vocal critics of her open-door policy for refugees by insisting that most refugees from Syria and Iraq would go home once the conflicts there had ended.

Despite appearing increasingly isolated, Merkel has resisted pressure from some conservatives to cap the influx of refugees, or to close Germany's borders.

Support for her conservative bloc has slipped as concerns mount about how Germany will integrate the 1.1 million migrants who arrived last year, while crime and security are also in the spotlight after a wave of assaults on women in Cologne at New Year by men of north African and Arab appearance.

WNU Editor: Most of the refugees in Germany are there because of economic reasons .... not war. As to her comment that most of the refugees from Syria and Iraq would go home once the conflicts there had ended .... she is fooling no one. Syria and Iraq are failed states that are experiencing war and destruction on a massive scale. It is going to take years (if not decades) for this mess to sort itself out, and the last thing that a "refugee" in Germany will want to do is give up his or hers comfortable (and safe) existence in Europe for a hell-hole in Syria or Iraq.

Update: This is going to get worse .... 'Hundreds-strong' mob of masked men rampage through Stockholm station beating up refugee children in revenge attack for female asylum centre worker killed by Somali 'boy' (Daily Mail).

  1. Germany loved the war racket when it was "over there" but now it came home. We fought them over there so as not to fight them here --oops. And the US doesn't care -- it's isolated and insulated, so Germany you must pay for being a US lackey, and if you suffer the US doesn't care if an economic competitor is weakened. Anything bad for Germany is good for the US.

    1. Germany provided moral support to the Lybian rebels,

      But abstained from the UNSC vote, and did not participate in the Lybian air war.

      Germany stayed out of Iraq and was long, a highly vocal critic, and only after the rise of ISIS, provided military aid and a training mission to the Kurds.

      Germany did send non-lethal aid to Syrian jihadist.

      So, no devil, but then again, no angel either.

      Now EU support for war "over there", is a different thing.

  8. politically correct culture and politics is the issue here, germany and every other country in that region is paying the price.....hopefully the u.s. learns from this critical oversight and ignorance to the true nature of war torn islamic migrants....their inability to assimilate to western culture is clearly on display to the world.

    the religion of peace jus doin its thang....
