Bloody good luck getting them out again.
Why would anyone want to? Germany desperately needs immigration to keep up the economy and welfare system and overall immigrants pay more to Germany than they get out of it.

#22"However, we want to encourage you also to welcome irregular refugees." I know that in some countries this would be illegal, not sure about Germany though TBH. Edit: No sure why this got downvoted, especially considering the response by mtrn.
According to § 96 AufenthG it is illegal to aid people, who have no permit of residence and whose application for asylum has been denied. However, this is not as clear as it sounds, since emergency relief and humanitarian support is encouraged in general.
However, as I read § 96 (I am no lawyer), it is slightly biased toward trafficking and the commercial aspect of the facilitation of illegal entry.

#23It "amazes" me why these "refugees" flock to Germany or Great Britain and not to their very wealthy brethren in countries such as Kuwaii, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Arab Emirates, etc... Same culture, same religion and they are much closer!
It also amazes me why the EU leaders insist for other European countries to accept these "refugees" when the majority of EU countries is not responsible for this situation at all.
Luckily there are some leaders out there that are not afraid of this stupid political correctness and they build fences on their borders because they know what this might lead to.

You really can't think of a single scenario in which someone you don't know goes to live with you and you want them to leave?

#26Your strange scrolling webpage makes it hard to read the actual content without scrolling past. Why do people insist on using this broken scrolling behaviour.

These people are naive. They have no knowledge of history.
Re: Refugees Welcome
#28The fact that skin color is used to represent refugees is a disappointment. Otherwise, it would be a great idea.
Sorry, did you just complain that pictures of the refugees is properly representative of the real refugees in question? Should it be white? Japanese maybe? No pictures at all? Pretty sure you'd complain then too.

Why cares who's responsible? They're humans. Arn't we all responsible for all humans on the planet?

Your comment annoyed me enough that I looked through your history to find > That is what it was for me when I moved to the US from Switzerland. > Only then I realized that the way people live in Switzerland is not something you can take for granted and in the end made me move back. Since you don't live in the US anymore, please stick to trying to influence Swiss policy. Since you aren't going to have to deal with the…
That's an ad hominem. Rather than debating the merits of his suggestion, you're attacking his person. Furthermore, it's not unreasonable for people living in one country to have opinions on the policies of others, especially when it's something like taking in refugees which has strong influences on a global scale.
I don't think ad hominem is necessarily a bad thing in this case; we practice it as a society by not counting votes from 17-yr-olds based not on the merits of their ideas, but their persons.
And in this specific case: citizenship and residency ought to give one's voice more weight.
