Germany also wants a crackdown on irregular immigration by simplifying deportations and extending detention periods. In an interview with Zdf, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz confirmed his support for the plans proposed by Interior Minister Social Democrat Nancy Faeser, where he spoke of the “package” that followed a definite “line”. Laender will be interviewed first and then “bred to the legislative stage”.
According to the Interior Minister’s plans, the rules on the deportation of migrants whose asylum applications have been rejected and who have been barred from staying will need to be tightened. For example, persons concerned may be detained by the police for a longer period of time to prepare for repatriation: 10 to 28 days. Social democrat Faeser will discuss the draft reform with Laender and German municipalities, which have been asking for new rules for some time, and then prepare a final proposal. Police will also be given more powers during deportation. On the other hand, appeals to entry and stay bans will likely no longer have a suspensive effect and therefore will not serve to prolong the time frame of a previously agreed deportation.
The digitization and unification of the work of the competent authorities for foreigners is also planned to facilitate the exchange of information and work in general. In addition, countries such as Georgia and Moldova will be classified as “safe” for repatriation and therefore asylum applications of citizens from these countries will most likely be rejected. On the other hand, to relieve immigration authorities, the residence permits of refugees with subsidiary protection will be extended to three years. People whose asylum applications are denied but whose life or health is at risk in their home country can thus stay in Germany longer.
According to the plans, in the future the Central Registry of Foreigners will also record whether a person receives state aid to earn a living, which authority is responsible for them, and for what period of time these benefits are granted. This should relieve the burden of immigration authorities, welfare offices and employment agencies by eliminating manual inquiries.
