People need to keep in mind these are rejected asylum seekers. Their application has been processed and denied. These are not all legitimate refugees, and especially not those with an ongoing asylum application. Normally these rejected asylum seekers would be put in jail pending their deportation but due to the fact that
the temporary detention term ("Abschiebehaft" and "Vorbereitungshaft" in DACH countries) has simply often not been applied. Many of these rejected asylum seekers then end up absconding. It may sound harsh but Denmark has been doing these deportation hubs for many years already and they're highly effective.
This isn't Reddit, you don't have to reach boiling point just because you disagree with someone online. I have a German passport but my parents were "legal" immigrants from a non developed country. My wife is a "legal" immigrant (I'm not even mentioning skin colors because I think it's a stupid way of trivializing one's whole identity and life experience). They respected the conditions of moving to this country and they abided by them. But you call me a nazi because I don't agree with your idea of who should be conditionally allowed in our country or not.
We went through the whole legal rigamarooo and I know how German civil servants can be painfully slow. You and me can clearly both agree that German authorities (I can't speak for other EU countries) cannot efficiently deal with the influx of illegal immigrants. But if I think that centralizing the process with EU funding is possibly a good thing, I'm a nazi.
I never voted and never will vote for AfD but if you believe that someone from a warzone in the Middle East can simply make their way through the Balkans or North Africa and then the Mediterranean, choosing to claim asylum in a Western European country like Germany, after having passed half a dozen safe countries, where other Europeans go for a vacation, along the way, and throws away their identification papers to increase the processing duration of their asylum claim and make the possibility of a deportation is near impossible is unconditionally entitled to asylum - then we'll forever agree to disagree.
Not the person you're responding to, but I think we should have open borders*. The whole "you were born here so you're cool" thing is archaic and cruel.
We could use some of the immense wealth of the ultra wealthy to build more housing and infrastructure. (This is a US-centric visualization, but in case you forgot how much wealth is concentrated in so few humans: https://eattherichtextformat.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/ )
*I would mandate vaccinations and similar for entry, but would provide them free of charge. So not quite "unconditional" but I think "no measles, please" is a pretty understandable condition. Unless you're some parts of the US right now, I guess.
Your original comment was dismissive of the realities of what happens to people seeking asylum, and your followup is to be a condescending prick spouting nonsense about reddit because someone challenged you on your dumb fucking bullshit where you didn't consider for 2 fucking seconds the actual reality of what these policies do to people.
Fuck off you disgusting cunt.
"I got mine so fuck you" classic children of immigrants who see nothing wrong with pulling the ladder up behind them because survivorship bias means clearly the system is good and my family is deserving and yours isn't.
Fuck off you disgusting cunt.
