In a meeting with her Tunisian counterpart Tuesday in the Federal Chancellery in Berlin, German Chancellor Angel Merkel pushed for ways to encourage rejected Tunisian asylum seekers living in Germany to depart the country and return home.
Germany plans to offer stronger support for measures facilitating voluntary return, such as educational incentives and financial support for entrepreneurs. In addition, Merkel emphasized that the German government would seek to deport individuals who refuse to return to Tunisia of their own violition.
"We must make it clear: whoever does not choose to return of their own free will then have to be returned involuntarily," Merkel said. "We will speak with the Tunisian government about this, and we must be faster."
Tunisian Prime Minister Youssef Chahed called on the German government to improve the flow of information from their end. He said "cooperation with Germany works very well now" but said "we need from the German side clear evidence that we are really dealing with Tunisians," alluding to individuals who falsify identity documents.

RACIST !!! HATER !!! NAZI !!!
ya know it would be interesting to know just why they were “rejected”
She says that, but the pace of the Syrian invasion has not ebbed by very much. Another problem is many thousands have simply ‘gone missing’. Most likely those who did not expect to be granted asylum. Where are they, and what resources are they using to live? Sweden also has a multitude of these unvetted people just ‘vanish’ off the public records.
Then there are the No-Go Zones, that their police are warned never to enter. America has a similar problem along the Texan/Arizona borders they share with Mexico. Drug Gangs rule those areas for now.
Didn’t like German cuisine-—smirk?
article says something about falsified documents...
but she let them in with falsified documents ...OR NONE AT ALL...
the time to be concerned about not wanting them in Germany was BEFORE they came in...
once theyre in they either disappear or burn down the shelter...
but women get raped and murdered anyway...
theres something here about a horse and a barn door...
Merkel trying to gear up for reelection.
My daughter was their 2 years ago with a friend. They went to an orphanage for 3 weeks first (Doctors without Borders thing volunteer work over summer). Then joined some Swedish friends in there for a week after the orphanage work was complete.
First night there, they were in a bar and all hell broke loose, guns, knives, fighting, etc. They pushed the women in the group behind the bar while their male friends bribed the bounces to get them all out. Nasty place...
Stationed in Mainz, Germany with the 8th. ID. from ‘88-’90. It was a beautiful town plus Fraulein and bier. The best times of my life as a soldier was this duty assignment. The Berlin Wall fell and we were spared having to go to the Fulda Gap for real for the Cold War Soviet invasion. My unit’s colors were folded and absorbed into 3rd ID. at Ft. Carson, Colorado. Fast forward today and the barracks are refugee housing, call to prayer replaced church bells and the 8th. ID. is back but forward deployed all the way to POLAND and beyond. I could never have imagined this scenario.
Is she facing an election soon? She sounds worried.
I live in Germany, so I can speak to this visa-test business.
Few people realize it...even Germans. But there is a packet of forms you fill out for asylum/visas. You list your full ID, past educational history, certificates, etc. At the bottom, you are made to understand that it’ll be evaluated and you may or may not be accepted.
So, the first hurdle is your ID. Do you have a passport or some form ID to prove who are. Some folks show up with none and think the Germans are that stupid to just overlook that. Some folks show up with a really good fake ID (usually Syrian or Iraqi). Some show up with their real ID.
The Germans have a list of prioritized countries. If you are from Iraq or Syria...your odds of approval are near 95-percent (because of the ISIS business). If you are from Afghanistan...it’s closer to 75-percent. North Africa? It’s closer to 10-percent.
What helps you pass? Well...if all you did was sell watermelons on the side of the road for five years, and you only speak Tunisian...there’s pretty good odds that you will fail the visa application.
Those folks who engage in bad behavior during this waiting period (it can take up to a year these days in Germany to finish a review)....help their failure situation. Starting fights at the refugee center or getting arrested for illicit drug sales....all hinder your process as well.
Assad had for years and years...more funding for occupational schools and university classes than any other Middle Eastern country....so the Syrians have a remarkable high rate of education or craftsmanship. Language classes are necessary but probably two-thirds of the Syrian individuals (men and women) have something in their background which will help in the job process. The North African crowd? It’s probably near 5-percent that have some craft or university degree that helps.
The sad thing is that a lot of these people have spent thousands of dollars to get smugglers to put them in the right place...then spend almost a year in some refugee center...and then wake up to get a failure-notice and then can’t understand why the Germans are so unfair. You’ve got various pro-immigration German groups who hype up this unfairness and want all refugees to stay. Then you wake up some morning to discover this failed applicant had nine different IDs on him...when he tried to jihad a couple of Germans to death.
On the Tunisian side, they really don’t want the young punks back. They think most of these young guys all got radicalized while in Germany and simply trouble-makers. Add to it that a fair number have fallen into the drug-trade and have other issues now. The general public in Tunisia have seized on this and politicized it enough...so that Germany will have to pay a fair amount of money to make them change their mind.
In the end....you’ve got a whole generation of ‘losers’ who are reaching their mid-20’s and never had a real job in their entire life, and with their failed visa deal in Germany...going back to Tunisia just means a continuation of their loser status. In the long run, these losers are not a plus-up for Tunisia or Germany.
“Merkel trying to gear up for reelection.”
Yep. And the gullible Germans will fall for it.
