Excerpt:

Of some 850,000 refugees who've arrived in Germany, over 50,000 have already been deported. But more are coming every day. In some areas, they've been housed in school gyms. That has angered some parents because their kids are not getting physical education. In the last elections, the far right Pegida Party won 12% of the votes. Christmas music fills the air. So does tension. I can feel it emanating from people.
