Germany could admit 100,000 refugees per year through regular pathways | DW Nachrichten

"In the United States, the fight to combat irregular migration became a fight against the rule of law itself. But it must be possible to control migration without violating human rights and without abandoning the rule of law. If the fear of losing control disappears, German society will continue to support migration."
From Dayton to Dodik, what’s at stake in Bosnia? | Atlantic Council

"Ordinary citizens do not want to see borders between the entities becoming stricter and stronger or the country collapsing. [...] What Milorad Dodik now says is that all these institutions were in vain, in fact, and he wants to collapse them all."

The failure of German coalition promises on reducing irregular migration | Markus Lanz
27 March 2025
"The traffic light coalition promised in the coalition agreement that we want to reduce irregular migration. However, each year under the coalition, the numbers have been higher than the year in which the promise was made. But now we hear that the SPD is still opposed to making safe third-country agreements possible during the current coalition negotiations."

How the AfD could come to power even with results far below 50 percent.

GEAS wird – u.a. von SPD und Grünen – als Allheilmittel der Migrationspolitik postuliert. @rumeliobserver, Mitinitiator & -aushändler des Flüchtlingspakts zwischen der Türkei & der EU, legt dar, weshalb die Behauptung „unverantwortlich und kein Ausdruck von Ernsthaftigkeit“ ist. pic.twitter.com/ZHufgpVwTC

Was für eine üble Dystopie.

„Dauerhafte Grenzkontrollen heißt: Ausstieg aus Schengen. Ein Ausstieg Deutschlands aus Schengen würde letztlich bedeuten, dass Schengen tot ist. Das heißt, alle Länder Europas würden dann beginnen, ihre Grenzen wieder zu bewachen.“ - Gerald Knaus pic.twitter.com/JahYVtUrY2
"Permanent border controls mean: leaving Schengen. German leaving Schengen would ultimately mean that Schengen is dead. This means that all European countries would then start guarding their borders again."
