Government is pace: Kabinett decides further reforms on migration policy

The black and red cabinet has launched a further reform in order to complete the course change announced by the Union in migration policy. According to the government spokesman, it decided on a formulation aid from the Ministry of the Interior for the coalition factions to name states as safe countries of origin: According to this, the Federal Government can in future make this classification by legal ordinance – i.e. without the Federal Council’s consent.

Because countries with government participation of the Greens and Left have blocked corresponding projects in the past. The change now decided that the Bundestag still has to decide should accelerate asylum decisions for people from these states and facilitate the deportations of rejected asylum seekers.

It is about completing the “asylum seeker”, said Federal Minister of the Interior Alexander Dobrindt (CSU), who, after the cabinet meeting in the interior committee, answered the questions of the MPs about the rejections he arranged asylum seekers at the limits. This change of course will be positively accepted by Germany’s neighboring countries. Politicians of the Left and the Greens criticized that the minister only spoke to press representatives before his interview in the committee.

Safe countries of origin: Maghreb countries

The reform now decided by the cabinet is intended to accelerate asylum decisions for people from these states and facilitate the deportations of rejected asylum seekers. The classification of additional countries is made possible by regulation, because it should not extend to the right to asylum for politically persecuted, which is only granted very few people seeking protection. Most of the asylum seekers who receive protection status in Germany apply refugee protection or the so -called subsidiary protection for people who are at risk of serious damage in the country of origin.

The classification of safe countries of origin is not an administrative act, but an intervention in individual property rights, criticized the Greens MP, Filiz Polat. “Anyone who acts like this shakes on the cornerstones of our law principle.”

The coalition agreement had been agreed to first classify Algeria, India, Morocco and Tunisia as safe countries of origin.

No longer a lawyer from the state

According to the cabinet resolution, a regulation that people who are affected by deportation or exit deteriority will also be deleted, a lawyer appointed by the state. This obligation had only been included in the right of residence in the time of the traffic light government at the urging of the Greens. It also applies to asylum seekers who are to be transferred to another EU state in the so-called Dublin process and for which a so-called transitional custody was arranged.

Less family reunification, no more naturalization after three years

According to previous planning, the Bundestag will deal with the planned suspension of family reunification this Friday with the planned suspension of family reunification. In contrast to refugees who do not have limited protection status, this is already limited to 1,000 relatives per month.

The abolition of the naturalization of particularly well integrated foreigners in the coalition agreement also passed the cabinet last week after three years. The Union was a thorn in the side of the regulation that it described as a “turbo naturalization”, which had been introduced by the traffic light coalition. Her argument: Nobody can fit into German living conditions so quickly.

Rejection of asylum seekers

Asylum seekers are now also rejected at the German borders. The Federal Government also records this practice even after an endurance decision by the Berlin Administrative Court. The court had noticed that the rejection of three Somalians during a border control at Frankfurt (Oder) on May 9th was illegal. Without a clarification as to which EU state is responsible for an asylum application by the person concerned, they should not be rejected. The three affected people had been sent back to Poland.

Federal Interior Minister Dobrindt said that he is not afraid that federal police officers can be liable for their actions at the border. “This is completely absurd that police officers are being prosecuted if they do what their mission is,” said the CSU politician in the ARD talk show “Maischberger”. The order was formulated by politics. “And that’s why I find it an assessment that is already far -fetched.”

Mihalic: Police are not committed to politics

The Parliamentary Managing Director of the Green Group, Irene Mihalic, said it was remarkable that Dobrindt puts on the police officers in a difficult situation. “I just want to remind you that police officers are not committed to politics, but are only bound by law and law,” she said.

If civil servants believe that an official instruction is illegal, they can object (remote). This has not yet been done with regard to the tightened border controls.

Left politician met affected Somalier

According to Dobrindt’s information, the Somalians, who turned to the court with the support of Pro Asylum, had already tried to enter Germany on 2nd and May 3 – each without an asylum application. You would only have done this on the third attempt on May 9th.

However, left-wing politician Clara Bünger assumes that the three migrants also expressed the desire to apply for asylum in Germany when attempts to enter. She said, “I met the three myself. You credibly assured me that you said clearly that you wanted to apply for asylum.”

Around 140 rejected asylum seekers

People who do not apply asylum and foreigners with a reinforcement lock were rejected before Dobrindt on May 7th. According to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the change now had around 140 additional rejections.

After a meeting of the Interior Committee, the domestic spokesman for the Greens, Marcel Emmerich, said in which Dobrindt took part: “The numbers speak for themselves and expose this border blockage circus as what it is: expensive symbol policy at the expense of economy, commuters, federal police and those seeking protection.”
