Clip: 2/7/2018 | 8m 18sVideo has Closed Captions

A spike in crime is leading some to question Merkel’s open door policy for immigration.

A brutal murder of a 15-year-old girl in Southern Germany has placed the country's open-door immigration policy under intense scrutiny. In addition, a new government-sponsored study found that violent crime rose in one state by 10 percent in two years, with 92 percent of the increase attributed to young male migrants. Special correspondent Malcolm Brabant reports on the political fallout.
