This makes interesting reading and none of it comes as a surprise to me.

As the migrant influx continues, the 'Refugees Welcome' high is beginning to wear off. People are beginning to wonder if Germany will really be able to cope with all the newcomers. And the system is already completely overwhelmed.

For reasons best known to Merkel and without much thought for the problems neighbouring countries will face as a result, Germany has sent out the clear message that if you are a refugee you are welcome there. It has done this seemingly with little or no appreciation of the huge ramifications of such a move. If you're going to raise the expectations of desperate people you'd better make sure you can honour your promises and if you're going to make promises which are going to direct affect your neighbours and supposed partners in Europe, it might be nice to seek their agreement first.
