Her best feature is simple: She actually seems to care about Germany and Germans. Merkel makes no such impression - she's all about virtue signalling and diluting anything German about Germany.

No. There are no other (realistic) options. The other options are fantasies that you need to lose.

Okay, that's a stretch. If they could provide that there would probably be no need to leave their countries..
One problem was a lack of qualified Arabic interpreters (Arabic and Turkish are vastly understudied in Europe). Typically they rely on semi-trained bilingualish people. But... the translators were required to translate what people said and not allowed to give their own judgements so they couldn't point out that the guy claiming to be from Syria had a strong North African accent (Arabic accents are very distinct to fluent/native users).
ly those with legitimate travel documents inlcuding fingerprints and ideally DNA indication would qualify for further vetting, not automatic entry.

Who cares what she says when they can't actually return them? North African countries are notorious for not cooperating in the return of undesirables like the Christmas truck driver whose crime you think is no big deal.
It can be quickly established hat someone is not a real refugee but then since they've destroyed their documents and their own countries don't want them back (because they're criminals) Germany is stuck with them.

You don't think that two billion people showing up in Germany and claiming to be refugees would be a threat to Germany's existence? You're demented.
For whatever reason Merkel wanted the non-refugees (every single one of whom passed through numerous safe countries before arriving in Germany).
Now one of Merkel's pets has murdered a Polish citizen and a dozen other people and you're quibbling about whether she ever used the word "invite". How many more people wil have to be murdered before you admit her policy was a failure and that Poland should not enable it by accepting her ersatz refugees?

How would the arrival of billions of people (which your reading of the refugee act would not prevent) _not_ be an imminent danger to the existence of a free and democratic basic order.
And Merkels plea for pseudo refugees to come marching up through the balkans has absolutely created friction between the state of Bavaria (where they first showed up and the federal government).
That was just one million or so. How would GErmany ever survive the two billion refugees you think it woud be obliged to take in.
Merkel allowing a million unvetted migrants into her country is the worst political decision in the last 50 years in Europe. Why are you trying to pretend it's been anything but a disaster for all concerned?

In that case the law is clearly in violation of article 91 of the German constitution in that the presence of billions of people in Germany would constitute a threat to the free and democratic legal order. Therefore the whole thing is null and void and we are right back where we started.
Merkel had no obligation to tell hundreds of thousands of unvetted migrants they would be welcomed in Germany.
Given that the convention says "any", there would be a legal obligation to let in thousands of millions of people who claimed to be refugees if they turned up.

There are actors who want to spread conversion (like US ally Saudi Arabia) but the problems besetting muslims in Europe are usually more related to cultural issues (the dominant values in muslim countries are very different from the dominant values in Europe) exacerbated by the tendency for muslims to confuse cultural and religious practices. Europe is not a climate that muslims thrive in (unless you count welfare dependency as 'thriving') but the biggest problems are cultral, not religious.
