Protests in San Francisco: Detections in demonstrations against deportation

San Francisco, USA - in San Francisco, protests against the deportation of migrants without a residence permit caused a sensation. As reported our Central Europe , there was riots in a demonstration in front of the US immigration authority, which led to around 60 arrests. The police classified the assembly as "illegal" after there had been damage to the property.

These protests are in the context of an intensifying asylum policy across Europe. In the Netherlands, the government has launched a legislative package that provides for the tougher asylum rules and the introduction of border controls. From the end of November, migrants who have entered illegally are to be deported to Belgium and Germany. Prime Minister Dick Schoof introduced the parliament in the Hague this plan, which relies on an agreement between the four government factions, including Geert Wilders' radical rights. Wilders described the measures as historical and the hardest asylum policy that there have ever been, so reports Tagesschau .

discussion about human rights aspects

Individual measures from the law package are particularly controversial. In this way, parts of Syria are to be declared safe areas in order to send refugees back to their homeland. In addition, the permanent residence permit for asylum seekers is affected: from now on, a three -year -old temporary residence permit will be introduced, which severely limits the possibility of family reunification. Lawyers and authorities are concerned about the feasibility of these measures, while the association of the municipalities speaks of "chaos".

organized social fraud in Germany

In Germany, Karin Welge, Mayor of Gelsenkirchen, raised the alarm about systematic social fraud by criminal clans, especially in relation to people from Romania and Bulgaria, who receive social benefits. This warning was supported by Bärbel Bas, the Minister of Labor, who confirmed the organized abuse in the civil allowance. This fits into an overall tense picture regarding migration and asylum policy in Europe.

The current developments show how different the approaches and challenges are in different countries, while the companies and governments of the EU and the United States try to find the balance between humanitarian obligations and national security interests.
