#1 Some additional comments:

1.) Commenters on youtube disputed Levant's description of benefits for 'refugees.'

The truth is that all of this is in legal limbo right now. Laws and international treaties are at best in suspended animation.

If these young men are the first step of chain migration they and their extended families will receive generous benefits from the German taxpayer unless the laws are drastically changed.

2.) IMO Merkel didn't want to answer the question (asked by a presumably Swiss woman in Switzerland.) So she incoherently recited some more or less related talking points to stall for time.

"The making of a ~~journalist~~ politician : no ideas and the ability to express them."

3. ) At 4:54 Merkel says, '... we have all opportunities and freedoms to affirm our religion ...'

For some values of 'we' that statement has been patently false for years.

Historical precedent teaches us that it will turn into a false statement for significantly more values of 'we.'
