Germany’s Finance Minister Markus Söder has called for refugees be sent home over the next three years, saying that Germany does not want a multicultural society and it is impossible to integrate people from such different cultural backgrounds.

He said, “Even with the best intentions in the world, it will not work to integrate successfully that many people with a completely different cultural background,” adding that many asylum seekers pose a security threat.

He also said that many parts of Iraq and Afghanistan are currently recognized as safe, and mentioned that the war in Syria will end sometime soon, also saying “According to legislation, people have to return home when the reason for fleeing is no longer valid.”

Earlier this year he criticized Angela Merkel for allowing so many refugees to enter Germany, saying “It is a big mistake to open the borders without any checks.”  Over one million people have arrived in Germany over the past year.
