World: Germany Reveals Plans To Restrict Migrants Coming From Safe Countries
In light of recent happenings in different parts of the world, most recently in Syria, refugees from their hostile countries started to migrate in Germany. The country announced on Monday via Chancellor Angela Merkel that they will now start restricting migrants coming from safe countries to enter.
Hundreds of thousands of migrants and war refugees have found Germany to be a safe place to stay compared to their hostile countries like Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. However, others are still crossing the German border even after the declaration of peace in their countries.
To resolve the issue, Merkel announced, as per CBC News, that they are setting up a plan to have "transit zones" by the premier of Bavaria, Germany's largest state. "We're still in talks," Merkel said of the plans to restrict migrants from safe countries.
"It must be clear that Germany is helping those who have a prospect of staying. And those who haven't, can't get help in our country," Merkel added. The plans are to be finalized by the federal government of Merkel, the Bavarian government, this week, according to premier Horst Seehofer.
The goal of the restriction is for Germany to have a list of countries that are really deemed safe such as Kosovo, Albania, Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia and Bosnia.
Since there are is already a big number of migrants coming in the country, Germany is already experiencing problems when it comes to housing the refugees, hence the need for the restriction.
Meanwhile, the news has reportedly upset some political personalities including U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump. In a recent guesting on "Face the Nation," Trump said that Merkel's actions were "insane," Breitbart reported.
"Frankly, look, Europe is going to have to handle - but they're going to have riots in Germany. What's happening in Germany, I always thought Merkel was like this great leader. What she's done in Germany is insane. It is insane. They're having all sorts of attacks," he added.
Trump even advised Germany to bring back the refugees and create a safe zone in the refugees' own countries. "What they should do is get all the countries together, including the Gulf States, which have nothing but money. They should all get together and they should take a big swath of land in Syria," he continued.
"They should do a safe zone for people where they could live. And then ultimately go back to their country, go back to where they came from."
