MIGRATION: Nancy Faeser's new border controls at all German borders! How effective are they?

Marie Droste is in my studio. Marie, you have now taken another look at these measures and, above all, what they would bring. Yes, I'll put it this way: The big game changer is probably not expected. A smaller piece of work is now being used to at least convey the feeling: “We are aware of the problem and are making changes.” Maybe we will take a closer look at the border controls, which really represent a major change of course for Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser. Border controls should now be introduced at all German borders. So far it is the case that controls are already being carried out at many borders. The key point is that when people come here and tell the federal police at the border that they are applying for asylum, an asylum procedure usually has to be initiated. These controls have been intensified in recent months. Now the whole thing is to be expanded again. Of course, if you look closer, you'll notice more. The border with Poland and the Czech Republic in particular has led to significantly more illegal entries being detected there. Controls have been in place in Austria since 2015, and France also introduced controls. And if we look at it now: what does that actually do? What is the balance so far ? It must be noted that 42,000 unauthorized entries were registered in the first half of this year. There have already been rejections at the borders in 21,661 cases, i.e. in 51% of cases. They are not always asylum seekers in the classic sense; sometimes people have expired residence permits or they are seeking re-entry after an earlier deportation. So these measures have already had an effect. The previous year the proportion was even lower because border controls towards Poland and the Czech Republic were only introduced in October. So you have a better overview of how this is developing and now you want to expand it. Whether this is just as effective remains to be seen, especially in view of the number of refugees. What you can already see: The number of asylum applicants has fallen massively this year . The particular focus of politics is currently on the so-called Dublin cases. These are people who have already been registered in another EU country, especially in Greece or Italy, as these countries are often the first reception country. The federal government is planning to cut benefits to create incentives for people to leave voluntarily when only shelter, bread and soap are available. It is questionable whether this will work , because reality shows that the Dublin procedure is complicated. In the first half of the year there were almost 50,000 takeover requests, of which 29,000 were accepted. But in practice, only 4,000 people were actually transferred because the process takes months. The planned asylum centers at the borders also pose major challenges . Significantly more capacity and staff would be needed. It is a signal, but whether it will bring about a major reversal in asylum policy remains questionable. It's complicated, and the devil is in the details. Border controls can be implemented quickly, but the implementation of the asylum centers could take a long time. Marie, thank you very much.
