More than 600,000 people crossed the Mediterranean this year.

Just one number that shows how much damage Merkel's policy has done. A whole bunch of Afghans decided to make their way to Germany. Meanwhile Med traffic dramatically spiked.
The U.N. refugee agency says more than 218,000 migrants crossed the Mediterranean in October — a record monthly tally this year and more than in all of 2014.
The agency estimates that about 216,000 people crossed the Mediterranean last year, while another 3,000 crossed Turkey's land border.
Spokesman Adrian Edwards on Monday called the October figure "beyond anything that could have been expected even a few months ago."
UNHCR estimates that more than 600,000 people crossed the Mediterranean this year.
It'll get worse than this if Europe doesn't close the door that Merkel opened. And close it hard.
Every day that passes, more Muslims decide to make their way to Europe. Absorption capacity has already been exceeded, but the flow isn't going to stop unless it's clear that all arrivals will be sent back.
