Germany has witnessed a significant decline in illegal migration, dropping from over 127,000 entries in 2023 to just over 22,000 in 2025. This change follows the introduction of stricter border checks by the new Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt. He aims to limit illegal entries while maintaining a stance that Germany remains open to legal migration. Dobrindt emphasized the need to respect citizens' expectations for political change regarding border control. Notably, current figures indicate that border checks have effectively deterred many illegal attempts to cross into Germany.
The integration capabilities of a country have their limits when it comes to illegal migration. Citizens expect a political change from us and this change has begun on Germany's borders.
The new border checks are working. We have thwarted 729 attempts to illegally enter Germany in the last seven days.
