Iraqi asylum seeker allegedly1 rapes and murders a 14 year old girl in Germany.
Germans are starting to think unrestricted immigration, as well as the corruption it engenders, might not be a good idea:
The killing comes on top of a deepening scandal and calls for a full-blown parliamentary investigation over allegations that civil servants may have granted asylum to as many as 1,000 migrants in exchange for money — and that some of those migrants may have been criminals or even terrorism suspects.
What? A smothering “benevolent” social welfare state nurtures corruption?
I’m going to have to absorb this for a bit.
The murder suspect, identified as Ali Bashar, a 20-year-old Iraqi, arrived in Germany in October 2015, shortly after Ms. Merkel opened the borders to hundreds of thousands of migrants. He was rejected in late 2016, but was allowed to stay in the country while his appeal was pending.
“If he had been deported, she would still be alive,” read a headline in the country’s largest tabloid, Bild, which devoted two pages to the case.
He came to the attention of the police several times, involving allegations of jostling a police officer, robbing a passer-by and carrying a knife.
Why, it’s almost as if letting hundreds of thousands of people into cultures like Germany and France and Sweden that are culturally unadapted to assimilating people (even if they want to be assimilated).
The outrage over incidents like this, will not change the minds of elected progs unless one of their children or family members become victims of these criminals.

The other day I actually heard a pro open-borders pundit claim that if the illegal aliens in our prisons hadn’t committed their crimes, Americans would have.

The State cannot love you.
If Breivik had been heeded . . . .

Doing crimes Americans won’t do?
Hey, at least the Germans allow a newspaper to report on the situation. Our allies in freedom, the Brits, would have shut the paper down and arrested the editor.
For various reasons, I track the politics of Denmark, especially those regarding immigration, legal and not. While ostensibly better off than Germany (or Sweden or France), little Denmark has its own immigrant problems, the biggest one being that basically there is no place in urban Denmark that is not affected anymore. What this means in a banal sense is that the traditional freedom that Danes (and Swedes and Germans and French) had to go anywhere at any time regardless of gender from back in the 70s is gone. The specifics involve all sorts of nastiness like throwing stones from bridges over motorways with the intent of hitting cars (with deadly results in one case) to being assaulted when trying to take a short cut to the local market (wrong place, wrong time).
But paraphrasing that sentence in the Homeowner Privilege entry: Europe is full of people who whinge about EU/globalist/open immigration policies that impact them badly – and there are a zillion of them – and yet would never dream of voting for the opposition. And this has been going on for the last 30 years.
For those I know living there, I hope they figure out how to get out or at least that the coming whirlwind affects them but little, but for the rest, I just don’t care anymore.
Ditto, Joe.
I have a dream that someday, when guests assault their hosts or worse, their hosts will have the common sense to show them the door. “Yes, you’re a refugee fleeing for your life…..and when you prove that we’ve got to fear for our lives because you’re here, you need to go right back to the s**thole you came from. That’s life.”
