The migration crisis is overloading Germany, with financial and cultural dangers, warned Markus Söder, the President of the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU) and Minister-President of Bavaria, the Migration Research Institute told MTI on Tuesday.
They wrote that Markus Söder urged a radical transformation of immigration policy in an interview with the Bavarian newspaper Augsburger Allgemeine.
“Many no longer feel at home in Germany, some school classrooms hardly speak German anymore, and some refugees are responsible for violent attacks, such as the knife attacks in Mannheim and Solingen,” Markus Söder’s words were quoted, adding that the politician’s proposals include limiting asylum and restricting the number of asylum seekers to one hundred thousand per year.
They reported that Söder emphasized that Germany must decide who can cross its borders, and those who are not entitled must be sent back to their country, even if they are from Syria or Afghanistan.
They said that among the CSU’s proposals is the ability to reject asylum seekers at the external borders, and those whose asylum applications are being considered should wait in a third country for the outcome. The party also supports agreements with gatekeeper countries such as Tunisia and Egypt, and proposed the abolition of dual citizenship for those committing crimes.
They also pointed out that in terms of security, Afghans and Syrians pose the biggest threat in Germany, with an Afghan behind the Mannheim stabbing and a Syrian migrant behind the Solingen attack.
Furthermore, they indicated that according to statistical data on preschoolers, every fifth child aged 3-6 does not use the German language at home nationwide, while in Hesse, Berlin, and Bremen, every third child uses another language at home.
