She's using the situation as a means to wreck Germany in the belief that it will lead to a resurgence of communism.
What I mean is, for example, how Merkel plans on taking on a million immigrants even though they already took on 1.5 last year. I'm all for humanitarian causes, but this is ridiculous.
When you are talking about countries like Germany who have a system in place that demands a high tax rate, I imagine that would leave such a system particularly vulnerable to a sudden influx of people... unless you can somehow create enough jobs to keep pace.
It's not just Germany either, there are a number of European countries who owe their prosperity in large part to their exemplary social programs. However, in these cases the demands on the taxpayers are going to be invariably high. Unless you can somehow grow your economy to meet the demand, large scale immigration has the potential to create disaster.
Merkel is a "Commie?"

What year is it, 1963?
