Anti-Immigrant Sentiment and German Chancellor Angela Merkel

German Chancellor Angela Merkel: German Chancellor Angela Merkel attacked the anti-immigration movement in her New Year speech, saying its leaders have prejudice, coldness, even hatred in their hearts, according to The Telegram. Anti-immigrant sentiment in Western countries is always highest where there are few or no immigrants. In big German cities like Hamburg, Berlin and Stuttgart, that do have large immigrant populations, the counter-demonstrators outnumbered the Pegida protesters 10-to-one. But the debate is not over and The language of the immigration debate in Germany has gotten harsh and extreme. The anti-Islamisation protests all across Germany on Monday fizzled out in the end. 18,000 people showed up at one rally in Dresden, where the weekly protests by the Patriotic Europeans against the Islamisation of the West Pegida began last October, but that hardly counted because there are few Muslims indeed few immigrants of any sort in Dresden.
