Germany's
Migrant Deportation Plan: "Political Charade"
by Soeren Kern
• February 1, 2016 at 5:00 am
After three months of political infighting, Germany's coalition
government has announced new measures aimed at making it easier to deport
migrants who are convicted of committing crimes.
The measures emerged in response to voter outrage over the sexual
assaults of hundreds of women by migrants in Cologne and other German cities
on New Year's Eve — and alleged attempts by the government and the news media
to cover up the crimes.
Known as the Asylum Package II (Asylpaket II), the draft law was
announced by the cabinet on January 28 and must now be approved by the
Bundestag, the lower house of the German parliament, for it to come into
effect.
A central feature of the plan involves increasing the number of migrant
reception centers to five, up from two today. The centers would supposedly
fast-track legitimate asylum requests submitted by people who can prove they
are fleeing war-zones.
