ANOTHER MERKEL BLOW: German police blame crime increase on Chancellor’s migrant policy

Angela Merkel is under fire again for her policy on migrants
The police believe that crime increasing by 31.6 per cent to 436,387 offences last year is because the Chancellor is allowing too many migrants live in the country.
And German police President Dieter Romann reported he wants his country to have stricter rules for letting migrants live in.
In the recently released report, Mr Romann said that there was a “migrant crisis” which increased the police’s workload.
