Chancellor Angela Merkel’s transport minister has urged her to prepare to close Germany’s borders to keep out refugees, arguing that Berlin must act alone if it cannot reach a Europe-wide deal. Alexander Dobrindt said Germany could no longer show the world a “friendly face” – a phrase used by Merkel as refugees began arriving in Germany six months ago – and that if the number of new arrivals did not drop soon, Germany should act alone. “I urgently advise: we must prepare ourselves for not being able to avoid border closures,” Dobrindt, a member of the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU), told the Muenchner Merkur newspaper.

Europe has essentially open borders. They apparently do not even attempt to obtain information about who enters the zone. (Schengen Zone)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Agreement

The administration of this governmental entity, is impossibly complex. They are developing an "information system" regarding people, etc. (Schengen Information System)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Information_System

I think the "refugees" have figured out that if the get into the Schengen Zone, they can move freely to about anywhere in Europe, use fake credentials, etc.

So while Merkel might be convinced to "close the borders," that is just a small bandaid.

Merkel's work is already done...any impact this might have now (as Truth Seeker points out, this would now be a limited impact as the Trojan Horse is already inside the gates they have established) would be window-dressing for political cover.  The war is being engaged inside the gates, and the enemy is there in enough numbers to damage the countries of Europe significantly.
