The Moussa Nomoko case drew attention to a well-known problem: Well-integrated people who have lived and worked in Germany for years, but whose asylum applications have been rejected, have no right to stay.
There are no laws to find a solution for the refugees.
A jump from the asylum law to the immigration law is not possible.
A loophole in the law that not only had tragic consequences for the refugee Moussa Nomoko (27), but also for the family business Polz bakery.
Because Nomoko was taken away in handcuffs by the police in the district office on Tuesday and deported to Mali that same evening.
Nomoko has lived in Hebertshausen since 2013, worked full-time at the Polz bakery, which overnight "a top man who is as good as any specialist", as Thomas Polz said, lost.
Duldung only suspends deportation
At the moment, people like Nomoko, whose asylum application has been rejected, only receive a tolerance - but that means nothing other than that the person has an obligation to leave the country and his deportation is only suspended. District Administrator Stefan Löwl emphasizes that he and his authority always endeavor to “find and point out individual solutions”. Löwl would like to be more committed to the well-integrated people - the problem is the corresponding laws. “In principle, we cannot change the legal conditions”, and he will not “instruct his employees to break or not to apply laws and regulations”.
In the case of people who have been living and working in Germany for years but whose asylum application has been rejected, he emphasizes: “We need a solution for these old cases.
I would like to see a law from the new Bundestag at the latest that finally gives people with good integration success, but also our companies who have campaigned for integration, planning security. "
Politicians are calling for a change in the law
Löwl had already drawn attention to the lack of relevant laws. As a member of the Expert Commission for Integration Skills, he has already made a recommendation for new structures. It says that it “makes sense to give tolerated people the prospect of staying if they have integrated well and cannot be returned at short notice. Therefore, the existing regulations should be thoroughly evaluated in order to decide whether they should be expanded, changed, abolished or supplemented by instruments such as a cut-off date regulation. "
This is exactly what the Bundestag member Katrin Staffler (CSU) emphasizes, she was already in contact with the Polz family and offered to check whether there was a way to help Moussa Nomoko. She emphasizes: "We urgently need a law that gives well-integrated people who can secure their livelihood through work the opportunity to stay here and get on with their lives." This is "absolutely necessary quickly" for the refugees and the companies. . Bernhard Seidenath (CSU) also takes this point of view and wants a "change in the law at the federal level".
District Administrator Stefan Löwl knows how much resentment a case like Moussa Nomoko's can cause. "I absolutely share people's lack of understanding that well-integrated refugees have to leave, but at the same time it is so difficult for us to deport criminals who can use every loophole."
