No country should allow unlimited immigration.
No country should allow criminals into their country. If the first thing a person does is to illegally cross a border by using fraud or just crossing outside of a legal border control area, then they should be deported immediately.

Too late and useless. And of course it is only for showing the public some activity after those regional election results with center right winning streaks. In fact nothing is or will be done and the influx numbers will grow and grow almost as before, as already the intonation of the word irregular shows and gives hint to the attentive reader.

Germany is slowly deteriorating. Terrible what these politicians have done to this nation. Thank God Poland and Hungary will never have to suffer the same fate.

The German border controls won't stop Russians and Belarusians from entering from Hungary with their Orban-issued work permits.

Most can see that the rise of the right wing parties is a direct result of Germany deteriorating. When Germany was doing well these parties were on the fringe.

But they are also Christian nations.
True, but the globalist leftist polices of immigrant migration didn't help in the end, it just made things worse for the most part.

They absolutely were.
A bit of an understatement to say the least
In that context fair enough, but her humanitarian efforts have undermined the German people and their needs and made them second class citizens in their own country.
Well, thank Merkel for that.

Germany extends temporary controls to all land borders

Be mindful to wait for the full implementation.
All are fellow members of the Schengen Zone, within which there are usually no restrictions and checks on travel.
I contend all "visitors" venturing across those borders, will be required to be mapped "photographed" with "state of the art" AI facial recognition, passport data collection. vehicle number plate tracking technology minimum.

Data the German government motivation is not closing borders, or prevention of movement of people.
The suggested, so called "asylum seeker" refugee, trapping of so called "irregular" migration, (undocumented illegal riff raff) important as it is, is secondary.
I believe the goal is to invest in an invaluable asset, the vital knowledge of "people/human" management. To close the gaps in police response, national security flaws.
Facial recognition, close bio metrics, finger print access. constant real time update for crucial information system data technology.
To know, who, when, where and pounce and prevent.

Maybe overstated, Data you would be surprised.
The German government have invested undisclosed billions in next generation surveillance.

Yes, and Russia has them on a tight leash, so if any Jihadists start some kind of chaos, the price and retribution of that will be memorable for decades. They will never have the same problems as France, Germany, UK and Sweden, not going to happen.

Guest you didn't get the memo about the concert hall attack that killed 148 people in March. I think the largest number killed in Europe.
There have been many others.

Five million Muslims have integrated into German society and live peacefully. Nearly 3 million of them are German citizens.

Yes, and the Chechnya rebels that caused it were killed, as I said, Russia doesn’t play
Sure, and Russia will never allow these radical thugs to take over, so much so that they’re willing to sacrifice their own people just to prove a point.
bass4funk
I’m not talking about them, I’m talking about the radical 5-10% and the newer ones that refuse to conform or are hellbent on pushing their religion and ideology

The terrorists who attacked the Crocus City Hall were not Chechnyans. They were originally from Tajikistan.
This year Putin failed to protect the Russians like he promised when elected and for the first time since WW2, his country was invaded by a foreign power.
