The new “repatriation law’: Hopefully not just a paper tiger. The Chancellor's promise that Germany must "deport on a large scale" probably cannot be fulfilled with such paper tigers.
It will not be possible to regain control over illegal migration through half-hearted measures. In addition to the citizen's money, which destroys work incentives, it remains the Achilles heel of this left-dominated government. The Greens have negotiated an obligation into the law to provide legal counsel to deportees in advance. This will likely present police officers with new problems.
