The German government has passed a series of laws that will make it more difficult for immigrants to enter Germany, including fewer social benefits, the increased deportation of existing immigrants, and the processing of applications for asylum in a third country.
After Italy announced that it would send immigrants to immigration centers in Albania, Germany has now also embarked on a fight against the entry of immigrants into its territory.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced that the German government has agreed on a series of new measures designed to block the entry of immigrants into the country, as well as to enable the faster deportation of immigrants already in Germany.
The new plan includes a significant decrease of social benefits for immigrants, speeding up of the deportation process for immigrants who are already in Germany, and the establishment of processing centers for immigration applications in a third country, where immigrants will wait before being allowed to enter Germany, if at all.
Britain is the only country in Europe that has already established asylum centers in a third country, Rwanda. Italy announced sending immigrants to Albania, and Austria is also now considering taking similar steps and sending the immigrants to immigration centers in another country. The measures taken by the German government come after political pressure to fight the phenomenon of mass immigration to the country.
One in five Germans expressed support for the Alternative für Deutschland [Alternative for Germany] party, which placed the fight against immigration at the center of its platform.
“This is a very historic moment. Illegal immigration to Germany is undoubtedly a great challenge,” said Scholz after the approval of the series of anti-immigration measures.
In the first nine months of this year, 230,000 people sought asylum in Germany; a higher number than those who sought asylum in all of 2022.
