Germany’s new Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt told reporters on Wednesday that he had instructed federal police to tighten border controls with the goal of turning back more irregular migrants, including those who intend to seek asylum.
Poland and Austria have criticized the new government’s plan, which would also see Berlin rejecting people who want to claim asylum.
The states generally have shit covered on their own and aren’t relying on the BPOL, the BKA certainly won’t get involved, they could divert some personnel from the railway system or Bepo. I very much doubt that, though, why do things when you can say that you’re doing things.
…in fact, if I were a BPOL higher-up I’d interpret “tighten border controls” to mean “stop that pointless driving around in the countryside and station those people at international airports, instead”. You know, places where there’s actual border checkpoints that can be tightened. Let state police deal with stray foreigners dumped roadside.
