Germany deportation headache with North African migrants
Digital Journal ^ | 22 December 2016 | Antoine LAMBROSCHINI

Since the million-strong influx of migrants into Germany last year, authorities there have struggled to deport failed asylum seekers from Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria when their home countries refuse to take them back.

The issue has been put into sharp focus by the massive manhunt for Anis Amri, the 24-year-old Tunisian who Chancellor Angela Merkel confirmed on Thursday is the alleged perpetrator of the truck attack on a Christmas market in Berlin that claimed 12 lives.

Months earlier, Amri's asylum application was rejected but he could not be expelled from Germany because Tunisian authorities blocked the procedure.

German authorities put pressure on Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria when police established that most of the hundreds of men believed to have sexually assaulted women during New Year's Eve celebrations in Cologne hailed from those countries, but were in the country illegally.

When German authorities want to deport someone from the three countries in question, authorities in those countries insist that the individual must have a valid identity document. Without it, they cannot return.

So in order to avoid deportation, Tunisians, Moroccans and Algerians simply destroy their identity papers.

That sets in motion a long and laborious administrative process in Germany. Authorities must first make a formal request to the countries concerned to issue a temporary travel document -- and to do so they must provide proof of identity, such as fingerprints.

I wonder if DNA tests would distinguish those originating from the three nations involved?

Deportation from 10,000 feet, parachutes optional.

this is similar situation facing US - Trump’s solution is to use other leverage to ‘convince’ the other country to accept its wayward criminal citizens.

Germans have plenty of empty prison cells. I suspect if the migrants whose asylum requests were denied ended up in a prison cell until their status was resolved; they’d magically discover their papers and work hard to get deported back home as quickly as possible.

Does France supply any monetary assistance to those countries? If so, cut off the cash flow.

You mean all those African countries refuse to take back the engineers, scientists, and doctors we hear about? Why, I thought all those people coming over were the best and brightest looking to contribute greatly to German society. How can this be?

Germany (and not only Germany!!!!!!) needs to repatriate (deport) millions of them, not just a relative handful while letting or bringing millions more IN

Trump has talked about this same problem here. He says if they won’t take them back, cut off any aid to them. That’s a first step but not the only one.

Also halt all visas and money transfers.

I heard a very good report on this on John Batchelor’s show. His guest pointed out that the security services had more than enough information to deport the Berlin truck jihadi, but the bureaucracy released him for lack of a couple of papers and Tunisia said they wouldn’t take him back without them.

This is a simple, straightforward example of how a liberal bureaucracy can overrule logical action. Rule of law is a good thing, but irrational implementation of that law leads to disorder, and in this case, death.

Make a deal with Russia. Russia has a LOT of empty camps in Siberia where refugees could sit while petitioning to resolve their status.

Drop them back on an African beach somewhere. Somalia would be a good spot. Let the “Africans” sort it out after that.

Transport them to the North polar ice cap and drop them off there.

If so, cut off the cash flow.

That's a start, then cancel issuance of any EU visas to said countries including diplomatic visas.

Then hold all economic agreements in abeyance for non compliance. They would have the little problem solved in a week.
