Dobrindt Doubles Down on Tougher Migration Strategy, Alarms Public Stability
Political stability at risk, according to Dobrindt, who staunchly defends current migration policies. - Politician Dobrindt upholds migration stance, issues caution on political stability's preservation.
Alexander Dobrindt, major influencer in Germany's new administration under Chancellor Friedrich Merz, has leveled accusations towards the Green party over societal polarization from their previous policies in the government. Dobrindt alleges the rise in polarization is a direct result of the Greens' unwillingness to take decisive action, leading to the AfD's significant Bundestag election wins.
In response, Dobrindt proposed several reforms, including:
- Abolishing Express Citizenship: Dobrindt plans to end the fast-track naturalization program, tightening the criteria for citizenship.
- Halting Family Reunification: Dobrindt advocates suspension of family reunification for specific refugee groups.
- Ending Voluntary Resettlement Programs: Dobrindt intends to terminate voluntary resettlement initiatives wherever possible.
- Enforcing Deportations: Deportations to Afghanistan and Syria will be actively enforced, as will "permanent departure detention" for potential risks and criminals.
Despite these harsh measures, Dobrindt insists that Germany will continue to welcome legal migration. "Our nation will remain open to legal entry into our labor market and society," Dobrindt stated firmly, "yet the capacity for integration within our borders has its limits when it comes to illegitimate migration."
