"They'll take it in stride" - Söder's confident asylum dispute stance among neighbors
Neighbors' Alignment is Endorsed by Söder in Asylum Conflict Resolution
Markus Söder, the bossman of Bavaria, reckons Germany's neighboring pals won't bat an eyelash at our tougher border controls and asylum rejections. In a chat with "Bild am Sonntag", he dropped a hint that discussions with neighboring countries' partners are just around the corner. "I'm dead sure they'll eventually go along with it," Söder said.
Söder's latest moves to combat illegal immigration include a hard-hitting plan to tighten citizenship laws and snuff out flights from Afghanistan. He went on to say that deportations will get a boost from expanding and reinforcing safe countries of origin, thwarting folks from barging into Germany and encouraging others to hightail it outta here.
365 illegal entrants in just two days
According to "Bild am Sonntag", sources say that 19 would-be refugees were rejected despite applying for asylum at the German border over the past two days. The Federal Police has been busy recording 365 sneaky entries on these days, with 286 migrants being given the boot. The main reasons for rejection include lack of visas or paperwork, forged documents, and entry bans. On the side, 14 smugglers got cuffed, 48 warrants for seizure were carried out, and 9 individuals from the extremist or Islamist gangs got caught.
Tightened controls, first asylum seekers turned away
Since mid-week, the Federal Police has been carryin' out Dobrindt's orders to fire up the rejection of asylum seekers at border checkpoints. The cream of the crop at the GdP (Police Union) told the "Bild" newspaper that they're gonna reject every asylum and protection seeker, except for pregnant ladies, sick individuals, and unaccompanied minors. Dobrindt's command is strictly binding for the border agents, and the legal responsibility for these actions rests solely with the Federal Ministry of the Interior.
