Amping Up Border Patrol: Germany's Tougher Stance under Saxony's Watch
Enhanced Border Patrol Actions Implemented by Saxony's Federal Police - Border controls expanded by regional police forces in Saxony, Germany.
Wanna know what's poppin' over at the borders, fam? The Feds are beefin' up their game! The Federal Police Directorate Pirna based in Saxony is kickin' it into high gear, cracking down on illegal border crossings at the Czech Republic and Poland frontiers. AndYeah, it's gettin' real with some extra manpower on deck, but don't ask for exact numbers 'cause the cops ain't spillin' the beans yet.
So, who's the big cheese behind this hardline policy? That'd be the new kid on the block, Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, from the CSU. He put out the word for stricter checks at the borders, threatenin' to turn 'em away if they've filed applications in other EU countries, but don't worry, the kiddos and pregnant ladies get a free pass, no questions asked.
For now, they're workin' with the troops they've got, according to Yvette Biesold, the cop's spokesperson, but if they need more help, they're ready to call up some reinforcements. And they're tryin' to keep disruptions to a minimum, so it ain't gonna be total chaos at the border, at least not yet.
Border patrols have been in place along the A17 and A4 motorways since last October, but now they're layin' down the law at more spots, doin' their best to ensure those sneakin' in illegally nationalIDENTITY (the enemy, if you will) are caught red-handed.
