Relocation of People - Kretschmer advocates for the removal of repeat offenders aged 18 and above.
"If a refugee commits a crime, their refugee status needs to be revoked more quickly," stated Kretschmer during the interview. There's also a need for increased external security via the EU and revisions to performance laws, according to him. Kretschmer also urged for a decline in the number of refugees over the next few years. Instead of the current 300,000 asylum seekers yearly, he suggested a cap of 30,000, 40,000, or 50,000. "Integration is possible only if we can accommodate and integrate as many people as there's space for," he added. This involves considering factors such as the labor market, language courses, housing, and education.

Kretschmer, the CDU leader in Saxony, advocated for the swift revocation of refugee status for migrants who commit repeated crimes over the age of 18. He also suggested reducing the annual intake of asylum seekers from the current 300,000 to either 30,000, 40,000, or 50,000. This, he argued, would allow for better integration efforts, considering factors like the labor market, language courses, housing, and education. Despite these proposals, there have been concerns about deportations and crime among migrant communities in Dresden and other cities.
