Cranking Up Border Security: Strobl & Dobrindt's Tough Stance on Immigration
Border Control Enhancements Given a Thumbs-Up by Interior Minister Strobl - Interior Minister Strobl endorses heightened boundary surveillance.
Wanna know what's shaking in the world of borders? Baden-Württemberg's Interior Minister, Thomas Strobl (CDU), is all about it. He's blown a sigh of relief at the news of beefed-up border controls, stating, "Strengthened border controls and firm rejections at the border are a powerful tool for securing the border and limiting immigration."
New kid on the block, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU), didn't waste any time post-appointment. Just hours in office, he announced that asylum seekers could now be sent packing at the land borders. Looks like he's nixing a 2015 verbal courtesy that's been getting in the way. In addition, he promised an increase in federal police presence at border checkpoints.
The new feds are giving the public's worries a good ol' listen and are taking steps to thwart illegal immigration. According to Strobl, the state police have matters well in hand and are lending a hand to the federal police, all while maintaining some serious coordination. The focus lies on random checkpoints and intense communication between border patrol units. Nothing gets past the boys in blue, says Strobl, and they're all about assisting the feds with their border checks.
Minister of Migration Marion Gentges (CDU) is also giving Dobrindt's announcement a virtual high-five. "This move is without a doubt the right one to limit immigration," she said. Since the implementation of stationary controls at the Baden-Württemberg borders with France and Switzerland, thousands of unauthorized breaches have been stopped, loads of smugglers nabbed, and hundreds of arrest warrants served. The influx of asylum applications has seen a drastic reduction too.
The feds have been keeping things lock-tight at all German land borders since October. For the Stuttgart crowd, that means the French border. The Swiss border's been secured for a while now.
