You are lying at "Third". Angela Merkel publicly encouraged immigrants to come (and die trying) by promising that Germany will host all the people who arrive in Germany and several days later when the reported numbers of immigrants became alarming, Germany and France announced "a plan" (IMPOSSED behind scenes) to distribute the immigrants to other EU states because "solidarity and bla bla bla". That is extremely unfair to other EU states who can't afford the high and long term costs of Merkel's declarations and looking at the lost lives, insanely irresponsible.

Refugees arriving in Germany have the right to demand asylum. They have that right in every EU country.

But they may be denied asylum (after some months of processing and living in a shelter) if they do not flee from a humanitarian crisis.

Angela Merkel publicly encouraged immigrants to come

Bullshit.

The EU has been encouraging migration for years for there supposed 'demographic crisis'. This is reported on regally in the press if you care to research.

Oh, so now it's not Merkel but the EU.

I'm not the one making bullshit claims here. The onus is on you to name your sources.

Merkel has been playing out her Imigration dramas for years now (along with the EU). I am not very compeled to to dig up storys they are numerous and well known. Perhaps one of Her most melodramatic epasodes was "Islam 'belongs to Germany'". That will perhaps be here defining Utterance for better or worse.

And there we have your true colors.

I think its quite clear the call for immigrants is not 'bull shit' but a well known fact. The question is who it the Labyrinthine EU bureaucracy is responsible for this disastrous romantic policy?

The government has announced a relaxing of the Dublin agreement, under which refugees are supposed to be sent back to the country in which they entered the EU to apply for asylum. Many war refugees, particularly from Syria, were being sent back to Italy and Greece. Germany has now said it will process the majority of such claims.

Merkel’s deputy and economics minister, Sigmar Gabriel, and the foreign minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, both of the Social Democrats, a junior partner in Germany’s coalition government, have proposed a 10-point plan for Europe’s response to the refugee crisis. The pair called for a unified EU-wide response including fair distribution of refugees across Europe.

“As Europeans we owe it to ourselves and to the world to rise to the great challenge posed by these people looking for help,” they wrote. “We must pursue a European asylum, refugee and migration policy that is founded on the principle of solidarity and our shared values of humanity.”

"There is no tolerance for those people who question the dignity of others, no tolerance for those who are not willing to help where legal and human help is required," Merkel told reporters and local people in the town of Heidenau.

"The more people who make that clear ... the stronger we will be," she said, offering a message of support to those who have suffered abuse.

I don't understand. Which of your quotes "encouraged immigrants to come"?

"There is no tolerance for those people who question the dignity of others, no tolerance for those who are not willing to help where legal and human help is required"

And what is wrong with this last quote in particular? Does it hit too close to your home?

I provided the context and now you argue about the context instead of the main point: Merkel was sending positive messages to mobs of people who were trespassing borders of multiple EU and non-EU countries causing chaos. Refugees or immigrants, illegal immigration is still ILLEGAL. Merkel and her government directly and/or indirectly encouraged illegalities against other countries instead of discouraging them by guiding the real refugees to the legal channels of asylum request. I don't like your way of debating. I stop here. Have a nice day.

You provided random quotes, none of which support your "main point".

  "There is no tolerance for those people
   who question the dignity of others"

You quote this and say it's an undue "positive message" to refugees?

Do you even realize that Merkel is addressing people like you in this very quote?
