Please don't post outrageous, unsubstantiated generalizations about other people's countries. It's uncivil, and spawns worse.

Yes, let's open US borders without any screening or perhaps more importantly any idea how to pay for entitlements and the cost of sustaining them. We're seeing how well that worked for Germany. In fact, these liberal policies have further strengthened the extreme right in Germany. Next up, after Merkel is the German brexit or Trump equivalent.

A German Brexit would definitely be the nail in EU's coffin. Let's hope that never happens.
