I had to laugh when I read this BBC story (although I suppose it really isn't funny). Germany has managed to lose around 130,000 "asylum seekers" (we are not supposed to call them refugees). When you remember that Germany is one of the most bureaucratic countries in the world ("Your papers are not in order!"), it is bizarre in the extreme that there are migrants who don't have papers at all, and others who apparently have more than one set of papers. Even so, losing 130,000 people is more than just careless. I am tempted to contrast this present-day situation with last century in Germany, but I guess that would be politically incorrect. | |
