Platforms of top 2 parties in German election call for immigration crackdown

Germany will hold a snap election in February to elect a new Bundestag (parliament) after the current "traffic light coalition" collapsed. Polls put the traditional conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) with its more conservative sister party the Christian Social Union (CSU) that runs only in Bavaria, in first place, with the populist nationalist anti-immigration Alternativ fur Deutschland (AfD) a close second. The lead party of the current coalition, the Social Democrats (SPD) are a distant third.

The CDU and AfD have released their platforms and both want major crackdowns on immigration, which has become a key issue in the election. Crime by migrants is soaring and migrants now consume 63% of Germany's welfare budget. The CSU, which has always been to the right of the CDU on immigration, has not yet released its platform.

The CDU is now led by Friedrich Merz, a longtime rival of former chancellor Merkel, who is to Merkel's right politically. Under Merz, a central principle of the party's manifesto / platform is "Leitkultur" (guiding culture). This concept rejects "multiculturalism" and insists that to enter or remain in Germany, it will be necessary to adopt German cultural norms including respect for equality of women, acceptance of Israel's right to exist, and respect for democracy.

"It concerns not only our language and customs, but our historical and cultural foundations," explains the CDU spokesman on Interior Ministry matters, "It ultimately means that people, no matter why they come to Germany,orient themselves to this cultural basis, not the other way around."

AfD calls for closing the borders to Third World migrants and embarking on a course of "remigration", the favored European term for deportation. Under its eloquent party leader Alice Weidel, the AfD also takes a strong sovereigntist position including leaving the EU and reintroducing Germany's own national currency to replace the euro.

It looks like Germany's Trump may turn out to be a woman, and it looks like they need her bigly.

What is needed is the traditional right and populist right in Germany to form a coalition government like those same elecments just did in the Netherlands to prioritize a crack down on illegal immigration.They would have a clear majority in parliament according to the polls to be able to end that national nightmare. Polls in Germany show that German voters would accept such a coalition, but the key to it is the leadership of the CDU accepting it.

It was a clear beautiful, royal blue sky day on Wall Street. The S & P futures were up markedly, awaiting a positive open, as I turn to get my first cup of coffee. I return to CNBC to get the morning business news, when I notice that the S & P futures are falling, and they're falling fast.
