The current developments in the field of border controls and irregular migration are in the context of the political measures that have been initiated in Germany since the change of government. Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) has expanded border controls at all German land borders. In the first week after the change of government, the federal police rejected 739 people at the border, including 51 asylum seekers. In the second week there were even 1,676 rejections. The decline in illegal entry in recent years has been attributed to several factors, including more stable conditions in countries of origin and the tightened control of the EU external borders.
