Even if you would think that were a good thing - which I don’t - there is no business case justifying spending all this money on border controls, impacting travel, increasing congestion and pollution just to ’catch’ 19(!) “illegal” immigrants. Even the numbers don’t add up.
Also: Nobody is illegal!
Nobody is illegal
I hate this so much…
The thing is: YOU might not be “illegal”, but entering your neighbors house without his consent indeed is illegal.
What would you do if a random number of strangers would tomorrow at noon decide that it would be a great idea to just enter your house?
There is a huge difference between your house and a country.
And also between the thing you are doing being illegal and you being illegal
Then at least they should start saying “people who illegally immigrate” or something like that, because “illegal immigrants” does make it sound like its the people themselves who are illegal and that rhetoric only serves the far right
Exactly, see my first comment above
Is it really?
Yes.
The right to asylum was put into the constitution because many victims of the holocaust where denied entry to other counties before getting rounded up and killed.
If a stranger is running down the street, chased by a guy with a blood soaked knife, would you let them in?
Edit: spelling
Many of the people coming to germany are not in danger tho. Which is a requirement for asylum.
…which is why there is a due process that applies to all asylum seekers.
Duh.
ITT: someone who understands fuck all of what makes the world run.
It’s sad that people looking for better life are illegal
It’s absolutely not illegal to look for a better life in another country. What IS illegal is crossing the border without using the proper immigration procedure.
Seeking refuge is different from immigration… the right for asylum is there to give you the opportunity to escape a dangerous place and stay TEMPORARILY in another country
a fricking tragedy, and sadly one we all already saw coming when Merz was buddy-buddy with AfD on this very topic.
Immigration isn’t the issue; xenophobia is.
Immigration is an issue too.
Immigration drives up rents in cities while at the same time giving the economy cheap labour and keeping wages down.
As long as immigrants are not guaranteed the same wages as citizens and are not distributed across the country, including the country-side, immigration is a net negative. The only ones profiting are employers and retirees.
I will not accept this injustice as long as bavarians and swabians are still free to roam germany as they please.
Good point!
Disappointing but not surprising.
Well done, Germany.
