Tighter Border Controls in Germany

Who'd have thought it! German police say tighter border controls have had a HUGE impact on the 'migration crime crisis'

Border controls are working wonders for Germany's national security, the country's federal police union has announced, massively helping fight criminals, terrorists, and unwanted entries.

In just five days since the reintroduction of border checks at all eight of Germany's borders, federal police have detected almost 900 unauthorised entries.

And of those, 640 people were turned back, almost 100 migrants were stopped at the western border, 17 extremists were identified, and 114 arrest warrants were executed.

In an interview with Germany's Focus magazine, Manuel Ostermann, deputy federal chairman of the Federal Police Union said: 'We are witnessing the efficiency of the federal police and, above all, we are once again seeing confirmation of the necessity of border controls.'

Ostermann said that for too long, Germany had acted as 'the moral fortress of Europe,' letting in people with little scrutiny and paying a heavy price.

'So far, Germany has almost blindly let in and taken in every person and acted as the moral fortress of Europe. With fatal consequences for our country.'

'It has long been statistically substantiated and more and more people in Germany are experiencing it every day: the migration crisis is increasingly becoming a crime crisis and is leading parts of our infrastructure close to collapse.'

He said the migration crisis had now grown into a crime crisis, putting major strains on the country's infrastructure and leading to widespread public safety concerns.

And he slammed Schengen, the EU's open-border scheme, arguing it had failed miserably.

'Hundreds of thousands of migrants travel across the European Union via safe third countries to apply for asylum at a German internal border. These facts are impressive proof of the failure of Schengen for the time being.'

'It is therefore essential that we implement national measures to relieve the pressure on Germany.'

The solution, according to Ostermann, is for Germany to now turn back to national law to enforce stronger border controls for Germany.

'The border control that obviously did not take place at the EU's external border is now being carried out. Article 16a of the German Basic Law and the Asylum Act are now decisive and define the measures at the borders.'

'The federal government must now use the broad majority in parliament to set the course for crisis resistance' he said.

He urged urging lawmakers to give federal police permanent authority as border agents, saying this would eliminate debates about the necessity of border controls and enforceability of deportations.

'We could set up federal deportation detention centers and hold people there for up to six months.'

Ostermann also slammed Germany's flailing three-party coalition federal government headed by Social Democrat chancellor Olaf Scholz, say it is was underfunding the federal police.

'This federal government is almost financially bleeding the federal police, which has massive effects on Germany's largest security authority.'

'Ultimately, we have to realise that we are facing a global problem, which Germany can and must solve for the time being only at the national level.'

'The federal police are ready and waiting! We can provide security – the federal government just has to finally let us do our job.'

EU tries to solve migrant crisis by shipping them to UK

France and Germany are pushing for the EU to negotiate a migration deal with Sir Keir Starmer's government, which they view as being 'conducive' to advancing their demands.

Brussels would seek to create legal routes for asylum seekers, including through burden-sharing quotas which would see people distributed from Italy and Greece to the UK.

The prime minister's 'reset' of Britain's relations with the EU is being seen by France and Germany as an opportunity to win concessions.

The arrival in office of a new British government, demonstrating its intention to co-operate constructively with the EU, seems to us to be conducive to extracting concessions.

The Labour government has indicated that it is keen to work with the EU on illegal migration.
