Migrants and refugees are not pawns on the chessboard of humanity.

I encourage you to welcome refugees into your homes and communities, so that their first experience of Europe is not the traumatic experience of sleeping cold on the streets, but one of warm welcome.

At the beginning of the 60's our country called the foreign workers to come to Germany and now they live in our country. We kidded ourselves a while, we said: 'They won't stay, sometime they will be gone.' But this isn't reality.

This multicultural approach, saying that we simply live side by side and live happily with each other has failed. Utterly failed.

We have some "bad hombres" here and we're going to get them out.

I can't tell you when the government's going to be open. I can tell you it's not going to be open until we have a wall or fence, whatever they'd like to call it.
