Re: it was a policy bungle Doc.
It was intentional. No one is that stupid. It should have been clear that large portions of the immigrants did not want to become Europeans but just wanted to be in Europe.

Re: "Nazis were not socialists so we have never tried true Nationalist Socialism"

If socialism is essentially tribal collectivism, or the group dynamic over the individual, what's the difference between having the group dynamic derived from differences in class or differences derived from genetic or racial identity???........

Re: "Nazis were not socialists so we have never tried true Nationalist Socialism"
You conspiracy theorist fools overlook the fact that as a rule the refugees usually wanted to leave their home countries even less that Europe wanted to accept them. If you yourselves lived in a life threatening situation in the midst of civil war, would you not want to flee to somewhere more peaceful?
