Migrants walk along a street after crossing the Austrian-German border from Achleiten, Austria, in Passau, Germany, October 29, 2015. German Chancellor Angela Merkel came under intense pressure for her handling of the refugee crisis on Wednesday, with her Bavarian allies warning of a full-blown coalition crisis unless she takes immediate action to limit a record influx of migrants.
