the plan from her was let the refugees in (with just a limited timeframe and get rid of them at any time) and keep the best and most integrated of them.

the problem is, that no politician in europe canīt talk like that and explain humanism by economic reason. thatīs why nobody understand the backgrounds and the people do not know the difference between immigration and refugees. germany was never and still is not an immigration country - even when that would be urgently needed for the mentioned reasons.
Stop taking what politicians tell you as the truth.

The difference between refugees and migrants is, migrants won't go home after the fighting stops. A large number of those crossing into Europe become migrants the moment they leave the first safe country they arrive in. They don't register themselves in the first country they arrive in. They throw away passports so as not to get sent back or identify they haven't come from a country not at war.

In the 21st Century, we need fewer people to work and those people to get paid more to pay the taxes required. More people = Lower wages/taxes which benefits the rich. Anyone who thinks more people means higher tax revenues is not in touch with logic, it's the size of the pay packet that matter.

If you mean Merkel and her plan. Then you are again out of touch with the facts.

Humanism starts at home. Europe faces huge problems as it moves toward losing 30% of jobs, the lowering of wages/tax revenues, the population's higher reliance on taxpayers money to support them. Countries are going into higher debt while cutting services and demand on those services rising.

I don't care if a migrant is white, black, brown or tan. They earn above the average wage and look after their family 100% or they don't get in. Which is why none of the migrants walking across Europe stop or goes voluntarily to Czech, Poland, Hungary, Balkans, Greece. They walk to countries where they will get more money. So all those guys are migrants.
