When will it be too high for the economy? Our economy was apparently good enough to bail out the banks. It is good enough to sink millions and millions into a new airport in Berlin that will apparently be finished in who knows how many years.
Let's not deceive ourselves. WE, that is, the first world, survive by leeching the third. Our food production is so high that we sell cheap food to Africa, ruining their markets and their farming industry. We use cheap labor in the third world countries to fabricate our cheap products, our fucking iPhones, our T-Shirts and what have you.
Before we run out of money, we will run out of space.
I am not proposing that Germany should take them all. That is the problem right now. Only three european countries are taking refugees. Others just simply look away. There would be no question at all whether the economy could handle it if they would all bear the load equally. I am not saying Germany is doing something wrong. I am saying the rest of the world is doing something wrong. Hungary is doing something wrong in the way they treat refugees. France and Great Britain, two large, wealthy countries, don't take ANY.
What alternatives do you propose? "Sorry, we're full. Please go back to Syria and let yourselves be raped by ISIS"? We've lived off the third world long enough, it's about time we do something for THEM. And that means all of Europe, and the USA.

I don't need luck, I have ammo.
