Liberals' Pivot on Border Control Is Now Complete | Opinion
Opinion by Justin Gest • 22h

Once heralded for its open asylum policies that protected millions of people fleeing violent conflicts between 2014 and 2016, Germany—the keystone of Europe's free movement zone—has now installed checkpoints at all of the country's land borders.

The center-left government led by Prime Minister Olaf Scholz justified the extraordinary measures last month as a way to mitigate irregular migration and protect the public from violent extremists. But make no mistake, like so much of immigration policy today, the clampdown was symbolic.

Scholz and the Social Democratic Party's true goal is to upstage their far-right and conservative opponents who are building power as they tap into voter anxiety about immigrants' integration and Germany's stretched public services.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

As Lurch would justify the pivot, democrats were actually against open borders before they were for them. *****rollingeyes*****
