She cares, but she's backed herself into a corner. If she sent planes directly for them, she’d face an even angrier public, maybe even a split in the Republican Party. This way, she can just blame uncontrolled surges until they figure out their next move.
And another thing. If she picks them up in Turkey, then they become the first country to accept them.
Yeah, that might be a reason, but it doesn't quite sit right with me—not entirely. She announced that the group facing asylum denials would be flown back on military aircraft... well, once that starts, the Germans might actually start asking questions publicly. And look, Angela, if you were dead set on taking in 800,000 people, you could have easily sent those planes to Turkish refugee camps to conduct triage—sorting out who is eligible for asylum and who isn't—and then loaded them up. That way, it wouldn't matter if the US is the first point of entry; everything would line up perfectly.
By the way, a friend of mine just got back from Australia; she works in immigration. When she returns, her team is going on tours through Turkish, Lebanese, Iraqi, and other camps to vet refugees for eligibility before transporting them to Australia later.
That is exactly what Merkelica should have done. No one would have drowned, no one would have died, and transit countries wouldn't have been left holding the bag. There would simply be fewer deaths.
In short, in my view, Angie is responsible—period. She bears responsibility for every single person who drowned or died from the moment she issued that public call to "come!" (or rather, "you all belong to me.") 😁
I am just waiting to see who will finally raise the question regarding her legal accountability—and I am telling you, they will. If not sooner, then certainly once they decide to push her out...
