Cologne attacks: Merkel proposes tougher migrant laws

Article 1: Cologne attacks: Merkel proposes tougher migrant laws
Article 2: Pressure mounts on Merkel to close the door to migrants
Article 3: Cologne attacks deepen anxieties over migrants in EU

An example here for the point on how migrants can create social problems or crimes for the country.
And let's not forget Donald Trump's recent proclamation that migrants from Mexico are thieves, drug-traffickers and rapists! (See HERE)

Note also how media reports can fuel existing prejudice by validating views already held by people, i.e. media can be a cause of prejudice and discrimination. This can be seen as unfair (a case of perpetuating unfair stereotypes) because:
"the assaults in Cologne were carried out by hundreds of men, a narrow sliver of the more than one million asylum seekers who entered Europe last year."


Qns:
1. Should immigration be embraced?
2. Can prejudice ever be eliminated? (Cam. 2011)
3. There is no such thing as bad publicity.’ To what extent is this true? (Cam. 2015)
