www.theguardian.com/world/2015/aug/25/angela-merkel-visit-asylum-shelter-attacks 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.” http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/26/us-europe-migrants-merkel-idUSKCN0QV1LL20150826 http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/26/us-europe-migrants... "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.

The pair called for a unified EU-wide response including fair distribution of refugees across Europe. We must pursue a European asylum, refugee and migration policy that is founded on the principle of solidarity and our shared values of humanity 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.

    I provided the context and now you argue about the context instead of the main point 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?

        An ad hominem and a neonazi propaganda video. How surprising, leaveyou. That's really the only positive aspect about your ilk. Your limited means make you relatively easy to mark and insulate. ----- Edit: ------ Since leaveyou deleted his comment, here a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/yIQSdrJ.png http://i.imgur.com/yIQSdrJ.png I won't repeat the URL to his propaganda video. If someone wants to see that drivel (framing refugees as "tourists") they can copy the URL from the screenshot.

        Good day sir. Labels, rhetoric, harassment and high horses don't substitute logic and common sense. Do you want my employers email by the way ? You should definitely get me fired for disagreeing with you and posting "neo-nazi" videos.. Ah, my ignorance should not escape unpunished by such a wise debater. And BTW you forgot to call me anti-semite and racist.. Next comment maybe..
