Lol, Merkel messed up with her migrant policies in 2015 don't event try to pretend there are no problems. She had to massively backtrack after several disastrous election results (and had to publicly humiliate herself by admitting she made mistakes in order to stave off a challenge to her leadership). She had to get tough and now says:
a) They are only here temporarily and have to go back when the war ends

b) She's reduced to having to pay them off at £1000 a pop to leave the country.

Oh and there's a backlog of 400,000 claims in the system but I'm sure as you say that everything is fine. I have a German friend who works as a government lawyer and got drafted in to help with the refugee system-she tells me the exact opposite of your 'everything is fine, nothing to see here' line. She says the whole thing is totally screwed, you've got mass fraud in the system, total chaos, ethnic/religious tensions within the shelters that frequently explode into violence, male 'refugees' frequently refusing to speak to her as she's a woman (management are now restricting female staff on 'frontline' duties as this is a recurring problem apparently), and people complaining that the streets aren't littered with gold as the smugglers had promised them. Indeed a migrant complained to her that he had 'lost everything' because he'd paid the smugglers £10,000 and wouldn't be able to get the money back and make a profit off coming to Germany.
The whole thing is perfectly encapsulated by this hilarious story from last year: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-migrants-tourist-idUSKCN10J206
I did not say everything is fine, i Said "we are working on it" and thats a Fact. Your friend might be right but what do you expect with that large Ammount of people coming in. We are working on it but it will take time and thats everything i Said.
Yeah Merkel changed something afterwards, but that was reacting on how the things went not changing her political opinion or regreting her decision
I never said there is Not a Problem with the refugees. But i believe its one wen can solve and also act for the sake of humanity
What Merkel did was Not about political View or for the sake of Economy. It was about Thousands of people stranded on the hungarian-austrian Border. It was for the sake of humanity. And No matter what Problems came with that: Merkel will keep on beeing cancelor after the German election this year so there is a majority of people in Germany supporting her, many of them May do Not Support her refugee politics, but you cant agree with everything a politican does. But Fact is, as Long as a democatic majority is supporting her all in all she has the right to make such decisions, and if she looses the next election, she wont anymore. Thats how democatic countrys Work.
As said, yes the refugees caused a Lot of Problems, yes it will take years to solve them, but Germany is dooing good. We got a strong Economy, our political system is working (and yes it is also a sign of our working system that there are people who are against Merkels refugee politic). We will be doing good in Future and Just because there are black sheeps in a group of 1.000.000 people doesnt mean, we will all in all Not Take Advantage of this people
while helping them
