Armed police officers wave cars off the motorway going from Poland to Germany.
They're searching for people-smugglers and their desperate cargo.
This is the German government's latest bid to show it is getting a grip on rising levels of irregular migration.
But, as we found in a rural border district, there's little sense of control.
Altenberg is a small town in Saxony, right by the Czech Republic.
Families race down a toboggan run that weaves through the forest and, when winter's here, there's even a small ski resort.
The local mayor, Markus Wiesenberg, says that - in this area alone - smugglers drop off people as often as once a day.
"The trafficker disappears and probably picks up the next load."
New arrivals put a strain on local services, he says, as well as local people.
"Sometimes they find sleeping bags and campfires in the woods and they are worried for their children."
Migration is looming large in the national debate after the far right is seen to have capitalized on the issue, fuelling recent gains in regional elections.
Ministers ordered "temporary" checks last month on Germany's land borders with Poland, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.
The controls were renewed this week, as they have been for years on the border with Austria, and they are all within the EU's supposedly border-free Schengen Zone.
Registered illegal entries into Germany this year are set to be their highest since 2016.
The country remains a top destination for asylum seekers.
In August, it received around 30 per cent of the 100,000 applications lodged within the EU, Norway and Switzerland.
Inside an old youth hostel in rural Saxony, more than 50 men are waiting for their future to begin.

Sign should say: “Come rape me”.
Forgive them lord, for they know not what they do. Luke 23: 34.
They might mean well, but my guess is they are just conforming to the current fad or zeitgeist. Either way, everyone has a problem on their hands.

Captain of the Titanic to a sailor:
“Quick! Grab some sponges to soak up the water.”
Ain’t gonna do any good.
It’s almost like muslims have a plan or something...
I wish we had somebody in our socalled “government” who GAS about the invasion coming across the border. The Texas illegal “refugeez” have already started doing their Christmas shopping. I don’t know how those Ghettopotamuses could ride all the way up here from central America on a bus or in a pickup truck and only get out for photo ops and not lose a single pound of weight.
“after the far right is seen to have capitalized on the issue,”
Oh how I detest the media clowns. As if not wanting your village invaded and your daughter raped is a “far right” issue. I have stories of those invading violent bastards when I lived there during Merkel’s invasion. Horrible violent dirty people who HATE everything about the culture and purposely go to destroy it.
“Wring out the sponges over the side, sailor... Do I have to do all the thinking around here?”
A border crackdown. Hmm, that’s definitely a foreign concept.
They found out some weren’t so nice, hard working and upstanding. In response, females began wearing plastic bracelets stating, “Please, don’t rape me.” Yeah, what a brilliant idea.......
Absolutely right. But don’t tell Dfwgator, who won’t know the difference;-)
The West is being destroyed systematically.
You’ll find Soros and allies behind most of this.
On BOTH sides of the Atlantic
He’s got a lot to answer for !
It’s much too late for Germany. I remember in the 70s when I was stationed there their massive use of Gastarbeiters from Turkey to do all the crap work Germans didn’t want to do.
Now the country is riddled with Muslims who know full well how to take advantage (abuse) it’s social support system. Germany’s done for.
He’ll likely be dead sooner than later. His progeny are equally scum…
They’re the problem now.
