Saxony-Anhalt: Prime Minister calls for border controls and reforms!

Sachsen, Deutschland - In the past few days, discussions about border controls in Germany have taken on speed. Saxony-Anhalt Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU) tirelessly highlighted the urgent need for border controls and rejections from asylum seekers. In his view, it is essential that a nation ensures the integrity of its state border, and it may require adaptations of applicable law if courts should come to check deportation. This measure, from his point of view, is in a greater political context, because currently there are no absolute majorities of the Democratic center in Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg, as the Situation also complicated, as [https://fundscene.com/sachsen-anhalt-written-d----dest-wort-der-denzkonollen/).

On the other hand, the Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister Alexander Schweitzer (SPD) warns that border controls must not be permanent. The Federal Council President Anke Rehlinger (SPD) also demanded that Germany should return to a Schengen area without border controls and criticized the need for border officials on non-existent beak trees. These contradictions within the political landscape make it clear that the topic of immigration and asylum is still highly sensitive and controversial.

The Dublin system: rules and challenges

In the context of the asylum applications, the Dublin system plays a central role. The Dublin-III regulation regulates which EU member state is responsible for asylum applications. It applies to all member countries and Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. The aim of the Dublin system is that the personal background and escape stories of applicants are only determined and evaluated once. For example, a secondary migration within Europe, where refugees travel to another country to apply for a new asylum application, is to be prevented. The BAMF checks whether another state is responsible for the asylum application, such as [wdr] (https://www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/zuwerung-gregen-gen-faeser-asyl procedure-100.html) reports.

If it is determined that another country is responsible, a takeover requirement arises. If the other state consent, the transfer is carried out, which is considered deportation. However, these legal framework conditions are not always easy to enforce: In the first half of the year, around 40,000 takeover searches were made to other member states, but only around 25,000 were accepted, and in fact there were only around 3,500 deportations.

deadlines and procedures in the asylum process

The Dublin process is limited in time. The German authorities have six months for the transfer, whereby in special cases this period can be extended to up to one and a half years. If this does not happen in time, Germany becomes responsible for the asylum procedure. This represents an additional challenge, because the legal foundations and deadlines are complex. Applicants can file a lawsuit against decisions from the BAMF, which can also delay the process. It is also important that the transfer is not to the applicant's home country, but to the other member country, as on bamf.de is explained.

This confused mix of political demands and legal challenges shows that the debate about asylum procedures and border controls in Germany is far from complete. Affected countries such as Saxony-Anhalt see their position in a new light and rely on clear scope for action to secure their own limits. It is hoped in this mixture that a factual discussion and sustainable solutions will be found that meet both humanitarian obligations and real policy.
