Too little too late: Merkel offers millions for Muslim migrants to return home in an EMBARRASSING U-TURN
By Pamela Geller - on February 11, 2017
Chancellor Merkel, you cannot turn back the clock or put Humpty Dumpty back together again. This is a last-ditch effort to win back the German people, whose whole lives have been upended in post-invasion Europe. Women and girls fear leaving their homes. Going to the grocery store or the mall is fraught with peril. Music concerts, festivals, New Years Eve are but mass opportunities for Muslim migrants to rape, rob and pillage.
It’s the end of Europe as we know it. Merkel will go down in history as the great destroyer.

MERKEL OFFERS CASH HANDOUTS WORTH MILLIONS OF POUNDS FOR MIGRANTS TO RETURN HOME IN AN EMBARRASSING U-TURN
By Mario Ledwith Brussels Correspondent For The Daily Mail, 11 February 2017:
Angela Merkel will offer cash handouts worth millions of pounds for migrants to leave Germany in an effort to silence criticism of her ‘open-door’ border policy.
In a highly-embarrassing U-turn over the ill-fated plan, which saw 1.2million migrants flock to the country, Mrs Merkel has now vowed to send many of them home.
The German chancellor agreed a package of measures to speed up the deportation process for an estimated 450,000 migrants who have been rejected asylum.

The plan includes a £76million scheme that will offer migrants cash incentives to leave Germany voluntarily
The controversial plan, which marks a significant toughening of previous proposals, includes a £76million scheme that will offer migrants cash incentives to leave Germany voluntarily.
Many will see the move as a desperate attempt for Miss Merkel to claw back support ahead of her challenging re-election bid in September.
Criticism of her decision to leave Germany’s borders open and welcome all refugees during Europe’s migration crisis in 2015 has led to a surge in support for anti-immigrant parties.

The proposed crackdown, which has been criticised by human rights groups, will also include the creation of a department in Berlin to co-ordinate mass deportations
Flaws in the open borders system were highlighted in the aftermath of last year’s Christmas market attack in Berlin when it was revealed that Tunisian terrorist Anis Amri had been denied asylum months earlier.
The plans agreed by Miss Merkel will allow officials to analyse asylum seekers’ telephones in an attempt to verify their identity, while rules for detaining migrants will be widened.

As part of the 16-point plan, a number of ‘federal departure centres’ will also be established near airports to hold migrants before they are deported.
Miss Merkel admitted that relying solely on migrants putting themselves forward for deportation would fail to tackle the huge backlog of rejected requests.
‘We rely heavily on voluntary departures, but we know that voluntary departures will not take place if people know that there is never a mandatory return to their home country,’ she said.
The deal was agreed with Germany’s 16 regional governors, who are largely responsible for orchestrating deportations.
Current measures have left officials struggling to deport those whose asylum requests are rejected, largely because they come from areas deemed to be safe, unlike war-torn countries such as Syria.
