I'll believe it when I see it. Though it clearly shows how quickly she is losing the support of the German people. The people telling us that Europeans aren't "obsessing" over this, are wrong. They care enough that 40% (so far) are calling for her resignation over this issue.

Facing growing pressure to resign over her increasingly unpopular welcoming policy towards migrants, German Chancellor Angela Merkel gave ground Saturday by saying migrants from Syria and Iraq would have to go home as soon as wars in those countries have ended.
“We need … to say to people that this is a temporary residential status and we expect that once there is peace in Syria again, once [ISIS] as been defeated in Iraq, that you go back to your home country with the knowledge that you have gained,” Merkel told a meeting of her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party on Saturday, according to Reuters. Merkel likened the situation to the arrival of refugees from war-torn Yugoslavia in the 1990s. About 70 percent of those refugees returned home when the war ended, she said.
Despite being in charge of the conservative CDU, Merkel has been one of the most aggressive European leaders when it comes to welcoming migrants and asylum seekers from countries such as Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. An astonishing 1.1 million migrants arrived in Germany in 2015. Recently, scandal has erupted after the revelation that police in Cologne initially covered up a wave of organized, migrant-related thefts and sexual assaults during New Year’s Eve celebrations.
The German public is increasingly dissatisfied, with a recent poll showing 40 percent of Germans wanted her to resign over her refugee policy. It’s also causing division within Merkel’s own party, with the leader of its sister Christian Social Union (CSU) party threatening to sue the government if doesn’t act to stem the rush of migrants.
Be serious now. Nobody is going home. Once they are in, they are in. Which illegal Hispanic has voluntarily left the US?
That's why I said "I'll believe it when I see it." My main observation from this article is that the people of Europe are finally starting to rise up against this bad decision, made by their governments

Sad that the Jewish doctor is agreeing with such a blatantly false and racist comment. I guess if it helps makes your argument against Muslims then it's OK to make shifty comments about Hispanics too?
