that whole argument 'could have been prevented had we just shut down our borders to brown people' is as disgusting as it is flawed: people from all over the world have been immigrating to germany long before merkel ever took office. if you wanted to make a serious (as in causal and logically coherent) argument, you'd have to prove that a specific policy of hers was directly responsible for him getting into germany even though it was reasonably possible to know he was (or would be) a (potential) threat, a violent criminal / murderer. THEN we could talk about some kind of political (not legal ofc) responsibility - but your argument (and the available information about this case) falls well short of that, so it's simply political hackery, motivated by obvious bigotry.
It's really simple: I advocate for an end to any kind of poverty migration, no matter the country of origin or color of the skin; and I advocate for a stop to the migration of people with a third world culture and socialization, except in cases of extraordinary merit. Humanitarian aid to refugees or victims of natural disaster should be provided - but exclusively in the region of the war/crisis/natural disaster, or as close to it as possible.
Therefore, an individual case-by-case assessment of the potential for violence would not be necessary for people from African or muslim countries.
Also note that criminal statistics show asylum seekers in Germany being vastly overrepresented amongst almost all sorts of violent crime, to a degree that cant be explained away by a higher share of young males or any other demographic factors. Cold hard numbers already show that these people are more prone to violent crime (also ones from non-war countries like Algeria, so "trauma by war" is not an adequate explanation) on aggregate, and the only logical explanation is the culture and environment in which these people grew up and were socialized. Since it is unrealistic to ever be able to identify and sort out he "foul apples", shutting down migration from such cultures is the only way of protecting our own people.

also, whenever i point out your and your fellow nazi's cherry picking, you resort to some sort of idiotic justification for it, as if there was anyone who disagreed that such crimes, when committed by migrants, were despicable acts. the lübcke murder, its political implications, its connections to the far right political movement in germany, the recent history of political murders by right wingers, all that is actually a much more relevant topic for political discussion than a random disgusting act by one individual with seemingly no political motivation. but of course you don't want to talk about that, about the toxic and violent environment that is the radical right in germay, and how it's on the rise thanks to people like you, willing to play down their crimes and providing them with a populist cover to hide behind...
random invidiual act? according to the BKA (= German FBI), in the 2018 crime statistics alone, there were 27 Germans who were murdered by asylum seekers, compared to one asylum seeker murdered by Germans. there were 3261 cases of sexual violence with an asylum seeker as the perpetrator and a german victim, compared to 89 cases of sexual violence from germans against asylum seekers.
https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/article191584235/BKA-Lagebild-Gewalt-von-Zuwanderern-gegen-Deutsche-nimmt-zu.htmlamong the 47000 overall cases of violence (predominantly assault) against asylum seekers, german perpetrators made up 8400 (18%), while the remaining 38500 (82%) of these cases were committed by non-germans, mostly fellow asylum seekers.
tldr: statistically speaking, an asylum seeker is safer on a random german street than inside a refugee facility.
