Solingen: Political demands for faster deportation of rejected asylum seekers
Berlin - After the shocking bloody deed in Solingen from last Friday, politicians are once again under pressure to accelerate the deportation of rejected asylum seekers. Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) in Solingen emphasized the need to carry out deportations with "legal regulations" faster. "Finally, applicable law had to be enforced," said Brandenburg's Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD) in an interview with Deutschlandfunk. These statements are not new, but appear regularly for tragic events.
not on October 23, 2023, a few days after the Hamas attacks on Israel, the Spiegel reported that Chancellor Scholz declared the irregular migration as a top priority and planning measures to reduce the number of refugees. However, such initiatives are not new; As early as January 9, 2017, the then Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) announced a "national effort" to deport rejected asylum seekers.
The reality of the German asylum system
The efforts of the politicians often remain without concrete measures. So far, the German asylum system has enabled numerous legal continuations that considerably delay the deportation of rejected asylum seekers. Authorities and courts face a flood of complaints that paralyze the system.
An asylum seeker has up to eight options to object to the rejection of his application before he is finally required to leave. The typical legal process begins with a lawsuit against the rejection of the asylum application by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) before the Administrative Court (VG). If rejected there, the asylum seeker can pull in front of the Higher Administrative Court (OVG). If the rejection is rejected, there is the possibility to report to the respective state government as a "hardship case" or to submit a follow -up application.
also occurs in the second round, the asylum seeker can complain of "subsidiary protection" or deportation protection. These complaints are supported by a free lawyer provided by the Federal Government, a measure that was enforced by the Greens at the beginning of the year.
The costs of the long legal process
The entire legal process can take up to two and a half years. During this time, the complaining asylum seeker receives social assistance. Numerous NGOs (non -governmental organizations) and committed refugee lawyers accompany the asylum seekers through the procedure. The state bears the state's aid, as well as the costs for the numerous legal proceedings.
Many see this system a way for migrants to paralyze the state by complaining for years without the politicians being able to influence it. This is an uncomfortable truth that is rarely discussed publicly.
Gunnar Schupelius summarizes the situation and suggests shortening or even abolishing the legal processes. According to him, the BAMF should decide without further judicial authorities. This is the only way to make the asylum procedures more efficient and ensure the deportation of rejected asylum seekers.
Whether Schupelius is right with his claim remains open for discussion. Readers can express their opinion and contact him directly: gunnar.schupelius@axelspringer.de
