Migration - Schuster calls for a tough change of course by the federal government on asylum

Interior Minister Armin Schuster (CDU) called for a hard policy change in Germany's asylum and migration policy. There is a real problem with misguided asylum and migration policy, Schuster stated during a debate in the Bundestag on Wednesday. This was in reference to violent acts committed by people who came to Germany as asylum seekers. The subjective feeling of security among the population has been dramatically reduced by such acts.

"Integration is not a one-way street," Schuster said. We want to see migrants who want to integrate. The integration practiced in Germany is good, but the system should not be overburdened. "The feeling of security is in danger, integrative capacity is exhausted, the Dublin distribution mechanism is essentially insufficient, is dead, the terror threat is growing. In two words: It's not enough." The states urgently need a radical stop to asylum access and an expulsion offensive for repeat and violent offenders. The federal government needs a masterplan Migration.

Concretely, Schuster demanded more intensive border controls with the possibility of rejecting migrants and consistent expulsion of criminals: "We need a signal to the population now: This republic shows teeth. And whoever makes themselves punishable here, leaves." At the same time, he offered Saxony as a model project for the so-called departure centers of the federal government. The admission program for people from Afghanistan must be ended just as the family reunification for subsidized people.
