Gottfried Curio, June 13, 2022, Immigration and Germany

AfD Kompakt, June 13, 2022.

With her willingness to partake in a so-called coalition of the willing to accept illegal immigrants from the states on the southern external border of the EU, Interior Minister Faeser further increases the burdensome migration pressure on Germany. Following the so-called prospects – right of residence at the national level, the participation in the aforementioned measures at the EU level is a further signal to illegal migrants and traffickers that Germany stands open to them without limit.

It lacks any logic that states like Italy and Spain which – in relation to population – for years ordinarily show a smaller charge with asylum applicants, shall now still be relieved by Germany. Especially from the Mediterranean neighboring states, there is still a substantial, illegal secondary migration to Germany of persons who were already recognized there as asylum applicants entitled to protection.

Tellingly, this coalition of the willing consists of not over half the member states: Besides the eastern European states, the Netherlands and Austria, among others in the interests of their populations, do not take part. Ultimately, the coalition may include, with France and Germany, just two states with a large population figure and on which may then fall a large part of the burden resulting from additional migration. Instead of opening itself to still more irregular migration, it would be in the German interest to conform to the Austrian position which urgently considers an effective defense of the European external border from irregular migration.

Germany already strains all of its available reception resources for overcoming the refugee crisis following the Ukraine war, in regards to which we – after the eastern European neighboring states of the Ukraine – are the most important goal country for authentic war refugees. In just such a situation, to declare an implicit invitation for illegal mass immigration from outside of Europe is completely irresponsible.
