Last year there were 65,000 people whose lack of travel documents prevented them being deported from Germany. Now, though, people who don’t cooperate in obtaining a new passport will be punished.
In 2014, John O. (not his real name) received a letter informing him that his application for asylum had been rejected. John O., then 41, is from Nigeria. At that point, he had already been living in Germany for three years. The immigration authority wants to deport John O. — but it can’t, because he has no passport. He says it was stolen. There’s no way of sending someone back to Nigeria from Bavaria without travel documents. “His exceptional leave to remain keeps being extended, one month at a time,” his lawyer Lother Panzer told DW. Panzer provides legal advice for asylum seekers, including John O. “Every month, he has to go to the authorities and make sure he gets it renewed.”
John O. is one of the hundreds of thousands of foreigners living in Germany as rejected asylum seekers. There are various reasons why they haven’t been deported: because they’re sick, because there’s no safe way to return to their country of origin, because that country is at war, or because they’re considered to be stateless. Or, as with this Nigerian man, because they have no passport or ID.
According to the German interior ministry, 65,000 people who should have left Germany were granted exceptional leave to remain last year because they had no documents. That’s almost twice as many as the year before. This increase is related to the large numbers of refugees who arrived in 2015 and 2016, says Ernst Walter, the chairman of the German Police Union. The federal police are responsible for deporting those required to leave the country. …

That's pretty much the most stupid thing i've read in a long time. Thanks Olog-hai.
I was wondering if I was the only one who thought that way.
In Russia they’d assemble the whole section of immigration detention center who can’t identify themselves and then declare they consider them Somalians and say they have chartered a plane for Somali to bring the guys home on the very next morning.
Every Nigerian immediately reminds his true name and age, contacts of relatives and often whereabouts of passport and other documents.
Sounds backwards to me, but I guess I can understand it. But how did it get there in the first place with no documents?
The sound you hear is a zillion immigrants to Germany shredding their documents.
Someone is stuck on stupid.
All they have to do is make him ANOTHER phonyass “passport” and send his ass home. It’s simple.
I thought people were deported because they DIDNT have papers.
What happened to “May vee see yer paperz, pleeease?”
“65,000 people whose lack of travel documents prevented them being deported”........so how did they INTO Germany without travel documents?
No papers, you’re an illegal (sound familiar?) thus you’re out of here.
In America, that was also the situation permitted to fester & grow under Democrats Obama & Clinton and both RINO Bushes:
100,000 in U.S. Ordered Deported, but Their Countries Won’t Take Them BackThen Trump came and things changed and the sellout of Americans was no longer US government policy:
Trump cuts off visas for countries that refuse deported immigrants
1. I am not now, nor have I ever been in Germany
2. I am not now, nor have I ever been from Nigeria.
3. Now that I have that cleared up. The proper way to deal with people who have no papers is to shoot them. Shoot the first couple hundred and then give the rest a one week head start towards the borders. Shoot anyone who doesn’t make it.
Solves the entire problem.
“The increase is related to...” blah,blah,blah
Related to immigrants taking advantage of German stupidity.
Just like here, that only applies to the law abiding.
It’s kind of like the paradox in the short story, “Gift of the Magi”, except, well, completely stupid and not a love story at all.
Can’t blame the ****holes involved, they’ve offloaded a bunch of criminals, underproductive parasites, and/or political adversaries. But that’s their tough ****.
