This will take away AfD´s only political theme... the number of refugees... it also make the demand of the sister part of the CDU, the CSU call for a cap number pointless.
I wouldn't cry victory too soon though, a serious number of those refugees remain and that could still cause even more socio-economic trouble if they fail to assimilate or better, return (I don't see them returning too soon though). I think we will have challenging times ahead, putting your head in the sand now is not a good idea.
Merkel did not open the box of Pandora... just helped as help was needed... 2 years later everything is back to normal....
I do agree it is our moral duty to accept refugees from war torn countries, as we are pushing the human rights narrative so much, but Merkel was dancing with the idea of having a completely unruly mess; I'm glad she got her sh1t together at least somewhat (after critisism).
Refugees should be accepted with strickt ruling, careful planning and compassion; not just by having open borders for everyone. And very importantly, people coming rom Morocco, Algeria and the like aren't refugees. (a lot of 'refugees' comefrom those countries)
We should take our lessons from this. Having more (unforced) unity should help protecting our borders better.
We better prepare for African refugees; it might very well get worse than the current situation!
We dont need walls and buffers...
The rich world has to accept that they have to give away part of its wealth for a stable world...
To slove the problem the living conditions in all africa has to be improved to a point that the people dont see a need to leave their home...
Walls and buffers are only needed when it is too late, so I agree there.
What I do not agree with is that the 'rich' world has to give away anything; only those African/ Middle Eastern countries themselves can make their own situation better. Once, Europe was considered to be a sh1thole compared to the Middle East/China; they didn't go out of their way to help either; we had to do it ourselves.
To slove the problem the living conditions in all africa has to be improved to a point that the people dont see a need to leave their home...
fair trade
stop supporting dictators
stop plundering their resources
stop weapon trades to africa
help build up working infrastructure
free university for all africans in europe (if they go back to improve their home nation after study)
etc etc..
we do not change the world by building walls...we change the world by deleting the problems that force people to leave their home..
I agree that we should give a positive stimulus, by investing in their economy, for example. We should also support and stimulate democracy (
not force it, that didn't go too well for Iraq and Libya).
However, I'm afraid we live in a terrible world when it comes to geo-politics; you know very well that in the end of the day, we will put ourselves first. So stopping with selling weapons and supporting dictators isn't going to happen, sadly.
