[QUOTE]The message changed in 2014, as the euro crisis temporarily disappeared from the front pages of newspapers and the party began attracting people with different interests. These (mainly eastern) new fans dislike immigrants, Muslims, homosexuals, “political correctness” in the media, a perceived anti-Russian bias in foreign policy, and the EU and NATO generally. Bernd Lucke, an economic liberal who was the party’s public face, at first went along with this drift to the nationalist right, in the hope of electoral gains. The AfD duly entered the European Parliament and several regional assemblies. To Mr Lucke’s chagrin, however, the party’s growing right wing also spawned some rivals. The most charismatic of them is Frauke Petry, a mother of four, a (failed) businesswoman and party boss in Saxony. Light skirmishing turned into open fighting within the party, with the far right backing Ms Petry and moderates lining up behind Mr Lucke. At a party congress on July 4th Ms Petry trounced Mr Lucke, winning 60% of the delegate vote to his 38%. Barely suppressing tears, Mr Lucke slammed his laptop shut and left the stage. On July 8th he quit the party altogether. So did hundreds of his supporters, including four of the party’s seven members of the European Parliament. One of them, Hans-Olaf Henkel, warned that the AfD was now an “NPD in sheep’s clothing”, a reference to a German neo-Nazi party. Ms Petry denied any such tilt. But in effect the AfD is now the German equivalent of France’s Front National.[/QUOTE] Sounds like they are trying to benefit at the expense of the natural party that would benefit (NPD) by behaving in a similar way to other anti-immigrant parties.
That title is uber misleading.

There is laws that grant everyone who enters the right to asylum.[/QUOTE] I should have been more specific. I meant to specify that any random non-citizen who shows up on a European country's doorstep should not be granted immediate right to asylum. They should obviously be granted human rights, but I don't think they should be given asylum as they are now. Asylum today means, for all intents and purposes, you get to stay forever.
