In the two days since the new German government under Chancellor Friedrich Merz tightened border controls, 19 people who had applied for asylum have reportedly been turned away.
I don’t understand what you’re arguing. That because Germany has 84M people they should just let smugglers, people with open arrest warrants, terrorists, and extremists into the country as they please? Why? That seems crazy to me.
I am saying that it does not sound like a very effective measure.
There are, give or take, 2m crime suspects per year in Germany–while many are likely counted twice, the number still gives an idea of the dimension. That makes roughly 5500 criminal suspects per day. 70 suspects/2d is 0.6% of that.
In addition, I find it exceedingly likely that they caught a bunch of low-level people who didn’t care to protect themselves but missed out on higher-level, systemic cases they’d have caught given a different personnel allocation.
Yeah, that totally sounds like a lot in a country of 84m. /s
