Germany is witnessing a significant shift toward tougher immigration policies as leading politicians advocate for mass deportations of migrants. With elections approaching, issues surrounding nearly 1 million Syrian refugees have become a top concern for voters. Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz's parliamentary motion proposed stringent measures, including permanent border controls and daily deportations. This marked a first-time collaboration with the far-right AfD party, stirring controversy and backlash, even from former Chancellor Angela Merkel. Polls indicate a rising public support for the proposed entry bans and curtailments on family reunification rights.
Politicians advocating for deportations argue that migrants have jeopardized Germany's security, as the country shifts toward stricter migration policies and mass returns.
