Germany expects record 800,000 asylum requests in 2015

Germany expects to receive up to 800,000 asylum-seekers in 2015, a new record, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said on Wednesday, as he urged action from the European level on the crisis.

"This development is a challenge for us all," de Maiziere told reporters as he announced the new official estimate.

Berlin had previously expected 500,000 asylum-seekers to arrive this year.

Germany, the EU's most populous country and top economy, has struggled to accommodate a flood of asylum-seekers from war zones such as Syria but also from countries without military conflict in southeastern Europe, including Albania, Serbia and Kosovo.

...

For the seven months to July this year, Syrians topped the list of asylum seekers, with 44,417 applications filed, almost three times that of the same period last year.

But it is the applications from the Balkans, which make up a significant chunk of demand, that have proved most controversial.

De Maiziere had complained last Thursday that it was "unacceptable" that 40 percent of a record wave of asylum-seekers in his country were from the Balkans, calling it "an embarrassment for Europe".

Hey. I’ll trade our 100 million or so wetbacks for their 800K ....... whatever they are.

[EagleUSA]

Yet the total lack of world leadership lets the ACTUAL PROBLEM still persist.

[PROCON]

Hmm, are you sure?

Most are muslim.

Lol...that is only this year! Germany won’t last long under this. Sounds like a plan for some.

Hitler's vision of an Islamic Germany (Fatherland) is almost realized...

"You see, it's been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn't we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion [Islam] too would have been more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?" - Adolf Hitler

"I can imagine people being enthusiastic about the paradise of Mohammed, but as for the insipid paradise of the Christians! In your lifetime, you used to hear the music of Richard Wagner. After your death, it will be nothing but hallelujahs, the waving of palms, children of an age for the feeding bottle, and hoary old men. The man of the isles pays homage to the forces of nature. But Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mockery. A n***** with his taboos is crushingly superior to the human being who seriously believes in transubstantiation." - Adolf Hitler

Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers -already, you see, the world had already fallen into the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing Christianity! -then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism [Islam], that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world. Christianity alone prevented them from doing so." - Adolf Hitler

"The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death. A slow death has something comforting about it. The dogma of Christianity gets worn away before the advances of science... The instructions of a hygienic nature that most religions gave, contributed to the foundation of organized communities. The precepts ordering people to wash, to avoid certain drinks, to fast at appointed dates, to take exercise, to rise with the sun, to climb to the top of the minaret — all these were obligations invented by intelligent people. The exhortation to fight courageously is also self-explanatory. Observe, by the way, that, as a corollary, the Moslem was promised a paradise peopled with sensual girls, where wine flowed in streams — a real earthly paradise. The Christians, on the other hand, declare themselves satisfied if after their death they are allowed to sing hallelujahs! ...Christianity, of course, has reached the peak of absurdity in this respect. And that's why one day its structure will collapse. Science has already impregnated humanity. Consequently, the more Christianity clings to its dogmas, the quicker it will decline!" - Adolf Hitler

I think I would rather have the Mexicans. At least they have a form of Christianity and seem to desire the culture of America. The Islamists entering Germany are implementing “Al Hijrah”

Guilt ridden Germans are importing their demise.

[bananaman22]

Mexicans are generally well willing people and hard workers.

The Eritreans, Somali’s, Syrians, Afghani’s and Paki’s we get are social welfare leeching muslims generally with no respect whatsoever for my culture. Our traitor politicians are doing nothing to stop them.

I fear for the future of my country...

Cool! Let’s send them some of our illegals.

I think you would enjoy “The Camp of the Saints” by Jean Raspail.

What’s going on in Europe right now is a slow motion version of his apocalyptic vision.

He makes the case that limitless compassion is suicide.

It’s a great read and an even greater sound of alarm.

Natural gas prices, though the market is supposedly saturated, have not changed in the last few years.

I see numbers ranging from 2 to 6?

Moslems say: Satan - their Allah - is greater than God.
