Should Germany accept more refugees?

October 18, 2013

Despite the disasters off Lampedusa, most Germans oppose admitting more refugees into the country.

Immigrant minors peer out through the fence of an immigrant detention center in the village of Filakio, on the Greek-Turkish border, upon the arrival there of the Frontex Rapid Border Intervention Teams (RABITs) and EU officials on November 5, 2010. Border guards from 26 nations began arriving on November 2 in northeastern Greece to help curb a wave of illegal immigrants crossing over from Turkey, European border agency Frontex said. Coordinated by Greek police, some 170 guards will be on hand and until the end of December to monitor borders and scout for illegal immigrants, Frontex spokesman Michal Parzyszek said.
