Those Lost 48

I noted a few days ago about the 'missing' refugees who were encountered down near Oder-Spree (on the far eastern side of Germany).....a group of fifty Iraqis who were picked up by a truck inspection at the end of last week.  All were Iraqis (or so they said).

They were sent off to the regional refugee center in Eisenhuttenstadt.  Within forty-eight hours....they'd mostly disappeared (two were left there).

Cops?  Total mystery to them where the refugees went.Well....some witness came up and spoke to the cops.  Several cars showed up near the refugee compound....all with Bielefeld tag plates.  Bielefeld is on the northwest side of Germany....in North Rhineland Westphalia.

By the general rules established by the Germans....you don't necessarily get your pick these days on where you will be distributed.  There's a system to it.  So if you had relatives or friends in Hessen....it doesn't mean you would get to go to Hessen for resettlement.

What happens now?  Cops are looking for the 48-odd individuals.  They need to square things up and just simply return to the processing compound.  Arrest and charges?  Well....it is possible.  But I kinda doubt it.  At the heart of the matter....the system will process you through and you get a 'ticket' to one particular state.  That's your home until you get through the paperwork and approval process.
