Dunno for sure why Merkel sponsors refugees. Presumably, some portion of the country is okay with accepting refugees. Perhaps her supporters are predominantly pro-refugee. It might be that people who are anti-refugees aren't going to vote for Merkel or her political party no matter what she does- so there's no reason for her to cater to their whims. Just speculating further, but there might be international benefits to accepting refugees. Maybe some behind closed door deals? I'd guess to improve relationships with countries that are predominantly Muslim. All of this, of course, is bullshit, I can only guess.
