After the Solingen knife attack: Should Germany change its migration policy? | To the Point

Germany is still in shock after the knife attack in the Western city of Solingen, where three people were killed on a Friday night.
While families process the grief and horror, questions arise. Why is Germany subject to these types of attacks?
The suspected perpetrator, with alleged links to ISIS, came from Syria, eluded the German authorities, and committed murder.
The result: heated political debates about weapon laws, deportations, and asylum. All this just days before crucial state elections.
