Germany Rejects about 10 Percent of Migrants, Says Minister | |
2016-01-25 | |
[AnNahar] While Germany is still taking in around 2,000 refugees a day, it is now denying entry to about 200 others daily at its borders, the interior minister said Sunday.
"People who are fleeing war and persecution are offered security and protection in Germany," the minister, Thomas de Maiziere, told the newspaper Bild am Sonntag. "But that also means that those who do not seek this protection from us are refused entry at the border. "Anyone who doesn't want to apply for political asylum in Germany and wants to illegally enter Germany has no right to be here." So far this year, federal police had rejected up to 200 people a day, he said -- compared to just 400 people in all of October when border controls and registration procedures buckled under a mass influx. Those now sent back include people who want to apply for asylum in other European countries. The ministry said that so far this year, despite winter, about 2,000 refugees had arrived every day. Police now had the capacity to register 3,500 refugees a day at the borders, the ministry said. | |

#5 There are reports in the German press suggesting that De Maiziere is lying (link in German). We'll see how this shakes out. Don't forget that family reunification will increase the 'refugee' count by a factor of 4-8 according to government estimates. Unless there's a fundamental change in policy Germany will turn into a European version of 1970s Lebanon within 2-3 years. |
