Merkel acknowledged at a news briefing on Thursday that Islamists could use the refugee flow to infiltrate Germany. She also admitted that even a “powerful country” like Germany “cannot take so many refugees in the long term.”

 

Yet, at the same time, she made it clear there will be no U-turn in the state’s policies with regard to migrants. Dealing with the flood of refugees is a “historic task” Merkel said, while reiterated that Germany“will make it.” She also stressed that “lot’s has already been done,”echoing arguments she had made in previous speeches.

Germany has faced five deadly assaults in just over a week. Three were committed by asylum seekers, and two of those are being investigated for links to Islamic State (IS, formerly ISSI/ISIL).

What do you all think? I'd like to see thoughts on her comments.
personally, I find her logic strange. If Germany cannot accept such a large amount of refugees/migrants, I wonder why she has kept the policies exactly the same. It's not like Germany has done nothing- it's done more than many Islamic countries(surprisingly). I'm sure that adding 1-2 million people in the span of a few years is bound to bring issues.
