Asylum policy
Dobrindt: 12,000 rejections at the borders since May
Despite a lot of criticism, the Federal Minister of the Interior to contain irregular migration in a harder course at the borders. What did that do?
Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt sees noticeable effects of the increased rejections at the German borders since the new federal government was started. “Since May 8, there have been 12,000 illegal entries that we have rejected,” said the CSU politician in the ARD program “Caren Miosga”. Among them are around 660 people who had desired asylum. Word got around quickly that this was no longer a difference at the border, which is why the number of “asylum nions” was low.
No number for migration border
Dobrindt did not want to commit to a number for an upper limit of migration. There is an integration limit and stress limits, where you have to make sure that you do not reach them. You have a problem situation that has thawed over ten years. “And everything we create is coming on top.” Therefore, it is about correction of the situation and about ending the “overwhelming of Germany”. “And I would like to take that in a number.”
Germany had strengthened the previously sporadic controls at German external borders in May shortly after the Black-Red Federal Government took office by ordering Dobrindt. At the same time, he ordered that asylum seekers should also be rejected at the border in the future. This procedure is legally controversial.
