Has German Chancellor
Angela Merkel lost her mind?
Based on her decision to
accept upwards of 1 million refugees from Syria, Afghanistan and other jihadist
hotbeds, Donald Trump says the German leader is definitely ‘insane.”
“They’re going to have
riots in Germany,” the GOP presidential hopeful said in an interview Sunday on
CBS’s Face the Nation. “I always thought Merkel was, like, this great
leader. What she’s done in Germany is insane. It’s insane… letting in that many
people.”
“I’ve been watching this
migration. And I see the people. I mean, they’re men, they’re mostly men, and
they’re strong men,” Trump said. “What I won’t do is take in 200,000 Syrians
who could be ISIS.”
According to United
Nations data 75 percent of the migrants flooding Europe this summer have been
men between the ages of 18 and 45 and only 51 percent of them are from Syria.
The others are coming from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Albania and Africa —
all Muslim-dominated areas.
President Obama has
agreed to take 85,000 refugees in fiscal 2016 including at least 10,000 from
Syria, and that number will likely increase in 2017 when Obama plans to
increase the overall number of refugees accepted into the U.S. to 100,000.
Several refugee lobbies,
including the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, have been pushing Obama to
take more Syrians and more refugees in general. The U.S. Catholic Bishops, for
example, on have a statement
on their website calling for the U.S. to
take 100,000 refugees from around the world and another 100,000 just from Syria
for a total of 200,000 per year.
The U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops gets paid hundreds of millions of U.S. tax dollars per year to
resettle refugees in American cities and towns. It is one of nine primary
contractors who act as essentially an arm of the federal government for the
refugee resettlement program.
Meanwhile, in apparent
acquiescence to Pope Francis’s call for the U.S. to be more welcoming toward
refugees the U.S.
Catholic Bishops have
announced the Parishes to Welcome Refugees program, which provides community
volunteers to help sponsor newly arriving Syrian and other refugees and provide
for their critical needs.
The U.S. has already
taken in 1,865 Syrian refugees since January 2012, almost all of them within
the past year.
In a recent statement,
Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, Kentucky, and president of the U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops urged:” … all Catholics in the United States and
others of good will to express openness and welcome to these refugees, who are
escaping desperate situations in order to survive. Regardless of their
religious affiliation or national origin, these refugees are all human
persons—made in the image of God, bearing inherent dignity, and deserving our
respect and care and protection by law from persecution.”
Trump: ‘Where are the
women’
Trump said if he were
president he might take a few thousand women and children from Syria but that’s
not what he’s seeing in Germany. “These are physically young, strong men. They look
like prime-time soldiers. Now, it’s probably not true. But where are the
women?” the GOP frontrunner asked on Face the Nation.
“What she’s done in
Germany is insane. It’s insane,” he repeated. “They’re having all sorts of
attacks.”
Trump also called the
refugee crisis “a Trojan horse” in the making.
"I love a safe zone
for people,” Trump said. “I do not like the migration. I do not like the people
coming. This could be the greatest Trojan horse. This could make the Trojan
horse look like peanuts if these people turned out to be a lot of ISIS."
Germany's welcoming
attitude toward Muslim asylum seekers has already produced a surge in violent
crime in cities and towns across Germany. German authorities, however, are
downplaying the lawlessness, apparently to avoid further fueling the growing
anti-immigration sentiment, according to a report
by the Gatestone Institute.
A confidential police report leaked to a German
newspaper reveals that a
record-breaking 38,000 asylum seekers were accused of committing crimes in the
country in 2014.
Analysts believe this
figure — which works out to more than 100 a day — is woefully under-reported.
"The current spike
in crime — including rapes, sexual and physical assaults, stabbings, home
invasions, robberies, burglaries and drug trafficking — comes amid a
record-breaking influx of refugees from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the
Western Balkans," Gatestone reports.
According to a
classified document obtained by the German newspaper, Bild, the government now
estimates that Germany will receive as many as 1.5 million asylum seekers in
2015, including 920,000 in the last quarter of 2015. This figure is nearly
double the previous estimate of 800,000 from August. By comparison, Germany
received 202,000 asylum seekers in all of 2014 which at the time was considered
a huge number.
With family
reunifications included, the document warns the actual number of asylum seekers
could swell to more than seven million, based on the assumption that
individuals whose applications are approved will bring between four and eight
additional family members to Germany.
Merkel last week
defended her strategy against growing criticism saying, "We will
manage." Merkel has welcomed the flood of mostly Syrian and Afghan
refugees saying it's her "damned duty" to help those running for
their lives.
The Gulf States “who
have nothing but money” and others should find a big swath of land in Syria and
create a safe zone to harbor families, Trump suggested. The U.S. could help
economically, but should limit taking in Syrian refugees because they could be
terrorists, he said.
Trump said he supports
the idea of a no-fly zone inside Syria.
"I love a safe zone
for people. I do not like the migration. I do not like the people coming,"
he said. "Frankly, look, Europe's going to have to handle it."
Another solution he
posed is that the Gulf States would "all get together and they should take
a big swath of land in Syria, and they should do a safe zone for people...where
they could live. And then ultimately, go back to their country, go back to
where they came from."
Asked about his
relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, he told Face the Nation
that, "I would probably get along with him very well. And I don't think
you'd be having the kind of problems that you're having right now."

Germany needs to send
Syria a bill for the care and feeding of its refugees unless they put them in a
Syrian-based “safe zone”. The new Berlin “air lift” should ship Arabs out of
Berlin and back to Arabia. With 300 on each plane, they could ship out 30,000
on the next 100 plane trips.
