Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere has said he wants to drastically reduce the number of refugees coming into the country. He also announced that Germany would extend its border controls for an indefinite period.

After receiving some 1.1 million asylum-seekers in 2015, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said the country is not in a position to match that number in 2016.

"I said in August that around 800,000 [refugees] could come. And in Afghanistan they interpreted this as, Germany is inviting 800,000 Afghans," de Maiziere told public broadcaster MDR on Thursday.

"When I talk about a noticeable reduction, then I mean it exactly that way and that is much less than what it was last year," de Maiziere said.

The minister also announced that the government would extend border controls indefinitely and that German officials were prepared to register every refugee that entered their territory.

3. Which means the German politicians are admitting they totally fucked up.

Why they couldn't they see the consequences when the entire world saw it coming?

4. We've seen the photos of hundreds of young men traveling

in large groups.

What's going to happen when thousands of men try crossing the borders that are supposedly now closed?

Look at what is going on in Calais right now. Most of these men are not from the war zone! They are economic refugees. Someday, soon, probably when the weather is warmer, thousands of them will push their way through the tunnel and what is England to do? Shoot them?

Europe is being invaded by economic migrants, while hundreds of thousands of real war refugees languish in camps. A BBC report of the conditions in the largest camp recently was extremely sobering.
