Border controls are increasing: Federal Police pushes thousands of migrants!

Deutschland - The federal police have significantly reinforced its controls at the German external borders since May 8. As part of the new migration policy, which was determined in the coalition agreement, this initiative aims to reduce incentives to immigrate to social systems and to better control migration. The President of the Federal Police, Dieter Romann, recently took stock and reported by 3,387 unauthorized entry and 2,613 migrants rejected until last Friday. Of 160 asylum applications, 125 had to be rejected, while only 35 refugees were allowed to enter, mostly for humanitarian reasons such as illness or accompanying children. The Nordkurier reports that criticism from the red-green political milieu is also loud of this exacerbated migration policy.

Romann said skeptically that missing personnel could affect the border controls. With around 56,000 employees, the federal police are able to effectively carry out the controls. This statement is in contrast to the statements of Andreas Roßkopf, the head of the police union (GdP), who pointed out the high burden on the staff. In a survey, he confirmed that around 70% of the federal police officers find current border controls not persistent. In addition, 77% of restrictions on vacation and exemption from service reject, which illustrates the pressure on the emergency services. The Tagesschau reports that the federal police currently have between 13,000 and 14,000 civil servants.
