Pretty soon those refugees will be given proper status to vote and access to a lifestyle they only dreamed kings live. Say what you like about that statement but it is what it is. Political elite keeping themselves in power through immigration acceptance. They teach you 3 things, where to get food, where to get money, and where to vote.
72%+ of them are young men, and why 90% of them have no documents (but claim to be coming from Syria).

Can I get a source for that?
Because those numbers are NOT what I experience near-daily on my routes through my hometown. I meet dozens, maybe hundreds of refugees on their way from the railwaystation to their destinated homes (transistional homes, could someone translate "Flüchtlingsunterkunft"? Leo.org tried Accomodation for refugees, but I am somewhat unsatisfied with that).
And yes, there are others who don't think they will "lose" their national identity. In Germany, we had 5.000.000 Turkish immigrants in the 60s-70s, and that went quite well. They widened our spectrum of views on the world. Without them, we would be poorer, in nearly every possible way.
Terrorists.. Is an islamic imam a terrorist to you? Because, WHAT is a terrorist? Anyone who thinks that his/her religious believes are better than others and thus they are infidels?

"People" should come first. I don't care about "German" or "Hungarian" or "Polish" or "Greek" or "British". That does not have a real value to me. Why should it?
What makes a "membership" to one country more valuable than to another country?

Well bully for you that you don't care about "german" or "hungarian" etc - what about those who do - do their views not count because they are different to yours?

A recent non-governmental telephone survey, carried out jointly by Liljeberg and the Berlin-based INFO polling company sampled 1011 Turkish migrants living in Germany. It showed 72% of the Turks surveyed in Germany believe that Islam is the only true religion, 62% prefer social contacts only to fellow Turks, 46% wish that one day more Muslims live in Germany than Christians, 25% think atheists are inferior human beings and 18% felt that Jews are inferior people.
There’s so much wrong with this, it’s hard to know where to begin. Similar to the Nazi propaganda that compared Jews to rats, these images try to dehumanise refugees by painting them as cowardly men leaving their children to die. An important part of your internet detective tool kit is something called reverse image search. A reverse image search will allow you to search the internet for copies of a particular image, rather than a string of text like usual. This brilliant bit of investigative research was done by Philip Kleinfeld, in a much more in-depth article on Vice.com about anti-refugee memes. His internet sleuthing found the source of the photo is from a CBC article that is covering a special train to Munich bringing in refugees. Philip discovered that when he actually watched the video, there are indeed both women and children arriving into the train station too!
Apart from that, don’t forget that the women are allowed to join the British military and will soon likely be taking front line combat roles. Let’s not paint women as some hapless cattle that needs defending while we’re at it.

Western countries are poorer without immigrants, then how come their own countries are poorer than western ones to start with?
Sorry your idea simply is ridiculous. This is about planned destabilisation and Merkel fell for it hook line and sinker due to probably guilt over Germany's past and the pressure it is still under to maintain that guilt.
One major problem is that unless benefit is cut to deliberately large families, they will effect the votes/politics sooner rather than later if many don't integrate. Its interesting just how many cultures think its OK to have children you cannot afford and that attitude needs changing immediately for those who have it by not financing it.

We need to just use the reference "people" no pre-names. Using any prename only advocates separation, and in the end we are all just human.

[Mods, you have a US political madness forum, I think it's high time you had a European one as well because the lunatics running our asylum are doing much crazier things, and causing much more damage than the rest of the world put together]
I think I'm like a lot of people in that I'm watching with disbelief the invasion of Europe by people from all over the Middle East and Africa.
I know that some of them are legitimate refugees, but it seems clear that the vast majority are economic migrants who are simply after whatever they can get for themselves - that's why 72%+ of them are young men, and why 90% of them have no documents (but claim to be coming from Syria).
There's also clearly a huge risk that terrorists will be among them, potentially (probably?) thousands of them.
It seems crazy that any sane person would welcome all of these people with open arms (like Merkel) because all it will do is encourage many, MANY times more to also come, so what is behind it all? Why are our leaders doing this?
I think I have an answer to a small part of the puzzle, and yes, it's a conspiracy theory.
1) It's clear that the (unelected) leaders of the EU like Juncker want to expand the size and scale of the EU to make it into a superpower, this is why they've been trying to absorb old Soviet states into the EU, which is causing friction with Russia.
I guess the more people they have control of, and the more territory they control, the more powerful they become.
But the numbers of people in Europe who now do not want this is growing rapidly. People don't want to lose their national identities to become "European" rather than German, or French, or English, etc, and I think a lot of people now view the hierarchy of the EU as unjust and corrupt, and want to bring it (in it's current form) to an end.
If these feelings grow then the dream of our inglorious leaders will be finished, so I think they have had to accelerate the process, and I think that flooding Europe with migrants is the way they are doing it.
1) Basically, they know that there will be lots of terrorists in among them, and they know that a lot of them will resort to violence and crime to get what they want ("give me money, money, money" as one of them was filmed screaming) - it is inevitable.
But because the EU are going to give each member state a quota of "refugees" that they MUST take, these problems will not now just be a French problem, or an English problem, or a German problem, or an Austrian problem, or a Spanish problem - they will be a European problem.
In other words, what tends to pull people together is a common cause, or a common problem, and what better way to temper the nationalistic views of the people of different countries than to give them all the exact same problem to worry about - a European problem that can only be solved if we stand together as Europeans and solve it through the EU.
2) If things become really bad - i.e. regular and major terrorist attacks, or violence, etc, then it will become an emergency, and this will pave the way to special laws being passed - laws that curtail your rights - in order to "protect" you.
At that point the EU will sneak direct and far reaching powers and control over all member states via the back door, and they will NEVER give those powers and rights back again.
It's all been done before, it's a bit like the Reichstag fire - create an enemy that you need protection from, and then take away your rights because this is painted as necessary to give you that protection from that manufactured boogeyman.
And the people, if they are scared, will give it all away without a seconds thought.
The EU superstate is born quickly and easily as those unelected leaders want, and they have power over all of us whether we want it or not.
Maybe that's why in the UK David Cameron is inexplicably not giving us a referendum on staying in or leaving the EU until 2017 - making sure there's enough time to make sure the vote will never take place?
