German Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the doors in 2014 to virtually unlimited immigration from the Middle East, and the results have been tragic for her country.

Among the estimated 1.6 million refugees have been multiple Islamic terrorists who have committed multiple atrocities across Germany. These include the infamous December 2016 attack, when an ISIS loyalist from Tunisia drove a truck into a Berlin Christmas market, killing 12 people and 56 injured, many of them seriously.

Data made public earlier this year in a German Federal Criminal Police Office report said that “39,096 German victims of immigrant crime were registered in 2017, a new high. The number is 23.7 percent higher than in the previous year (31,597),” according to Voice of Europe (VOE).

“This means that every single day around 107 German citizens were and will become victims of crimes with at least one migrant as a suspect, and the trend is rising,” VOE said.

As a result, Dietmar Bartsch of Germany’s left-wing party Die Linke claimed that election results seeing long-established parties across the ideological spectrum, including Merkel’s, lose seats were a signal from voters, saying “Berlin, we have a problem … the sense of insecurity in our country has never been so great.”

But none of this can come as a surprise to Merkel because, as VOE points out, long before she became Europe’s premier pro-immigration advocate, she was one of Europe’s premier opponents of open borders and multiculturalism.

In other words: Angela Merkel, meet Angela Merkel:

2000 — “The multicultural society is not a viable form of living, and I believe that as well.”

2002 — “Before we have any new migration, we have to first improve the integration of foreign children living in with us.”

Even after becoming chancellor in 2005, Merkel continued as late as 2010 vigorously opposing opening Germany’s borders, as she did in 2014:

“And, of course, the attempt to say we will do some multiculturalism here and live next to each other and are happy about one another. This attempt failed! It completely failed!”

Merkel has since talked about relimiting immigration, but, as German journalist and model Anabel Schunke told VOE in February 2018:

“Worse is that the open border policy continues. There are still 15,000 migrants coming to Germany every month. If Hungary, Austria, and other countries did not protect their borders, we would be utterly overrun.

“The Germans themselves never had the opportunity to vote on this decision that would change the whole country. Not even parliament was questioned. Angela Merkel has clearly broken her oath of office to avert damage from the German people.”
