Scholz Says Germany Needs to “Deport People More Often and Faster”

In a recent interview with German magazine Der Spiegel, Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced a new focus on addressing illegal migration in Germany. 

Scholz emphasized the need for large-scale deportations of migrants who do not have a legal right to stay in the country. He identified two key categories of immigrants that Germany should continue to welcome: workers needed in the labor force and individuals seeking asylum due to political persecution.

“On the one hand, there is the immigration of workers that we need. And there are those who are seeking asylum because they are the targets of political oppression. On the other hand, though, that means that all those who don’t belong to one of those groups cannot stay. That is why we are limiting irregular migration to Germany. Too many people are coming,” Scholz said.

Germany has seen an influx of migrants and refugees in recent months as more and more asylum-seekers flock to the country following the over 1 million Ukrainians who have arrived since Russia began its war in Ukraine.

The rise of right-wing, migration-sceptic parties like AfD in Germany has intensified the debate on immigration. Scholz acknowledged that measures are being taken to tighten border controls with neighboring countries, reduce incentives for irregular stays, and expedite deportation processes. He stressed the importance of digitalizing immigration authorities to streamline procedures and called for more efficient court proceedings in deportation cases.

“In some states, initial rulings in deportation cases come after four months, while in others, it takes 39 months. That is unacceptable. We have to deport people more often and faster,” he said.

Furthermore, Scholz mentioned the necessity of working with other countries to ensure the return of individuals who have left for Germany. In return, he proposed opening regular pathways for needed labor forces.

The chancellor dismissed the idea that this represents a new stance for his government, claiming that he has always held these views. Despite skepticism from journalists and concerns about the stance of The Greens party, Scholz insisted that the federal government is unified on the issue.

Additionally, Scholz noted the impending wave of retirements among “baby boomers,” which will create a heightened demand for labor. He highlighted the importance of legal migration to address these labor needs and encouraged integration among migrants.
