It brought a wave of migration that overburdened welfare programs, strained hospitals and schools, and helped fuel the rise of the AfD.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Merz is trying to undo Merkel\u2019s legacy by working with Syria\u2019s new government to return refugees\u2014starting with those convicted of crimes.<\/p>\n<p>This shift mirrors what the Trump administration has already done in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Since returning to office, President Trump has expanded border wall construction and signed new asylum agreements with Latin American nations to prevent the same border collapse Europe suffered a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p>Illegal crossings have dropped to 0 in 2025, proving that strict enforcement and diplomacy\u2014not open borders\u2014restore stability.<\/p>\n<p>Germany\u2019s decision shows how Trump\u2019s worldview is reshaping global policy.<\/p>\n<p>Even in Europe, where leaders once\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/germany-friedrich-merz-afd-politics-syrians-civil-war-refugees\/\">mocked<\/a>\u00a0his approach, governments are recognizing that mass migration erodes national identity and drains public resources.<\/p>\n<p>The same European elites who once lectured Washington on \u201chumanitarian responsibility\u201d are now admitting Trump was right: a nation that cannot control its borders cannot control its future.<\/p>\n<p>For Germany, the political reality is clear. Polls show the AfD leading in parts of eastern Germany, driven by voters tired of paying for asylum programs that were never meant to be permanent.<\/p>\n<p>Many residents in regions like Saxony and Thuringia feel that the government\u2019s focus on resettling refugees has come at the expense of domestic needs\u2014especially as energy prices, housing shortages, and inflation strain local budgets.<\/p>\n<p>This growing resentment reflects deeper frustrations with Berlin\u2019s immigration policies, which most say have prioritized political image over economic stability and border security.<\/p>\n<p>For many voters, the AfD\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/germany-friedrich-merz-afd-politics-syrians-civil-war-refugees\/\">rise<\/a>\u00a0signals a demand for tighter migration controls and stronger national sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>Merz\u2019s deportation plan is not a humanitarian betrayal\u2014it is an overdue correction.<\/p>\n<p>Europe\u2019s open-border era is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/germany-friedrich-merz-afd-politics-syrians-civil-war-refugees\/\">collapsing<\/a>\u00a0under its own weight, and Germany\u2019s move marks the beginning of a continental shift toward sovereignty and law.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump\u2019s America has led that movement from the start.<\/p>\n<p>While European leaders are only beginning to repair their migration crises, Trump has already proven that compassion does not require chaos.<\/p>\n<p>The world is catching up to his vision\u2014one built on security, responsibility, and the unshakable principle that borders matter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2025\/11\/germany-admits-trump-was-right-borders-after-taking\/\">Source\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It may be too late for Germany.
