re: #552 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Her career has lasted for quite some time now…longer than any US President (no term limits for German Chancellor). I think Germany made a mistake in not putting an upper limit on refugees, either in terms of absolute numbers or in terms of what percentage share of overall EU refugees.

People are taking cynical advantage of their hospitality and humanity.

I’m sure that’s true as well.
You don’t add a million-plus to your population and not encourage economic gamers too.
I like to think that there is a conscientious aknowledgement of Germany’s past transgressions in Merkel’s calculations as well.
