After the murder episode in Kandel this week, I kinda expected some political fallout over migrants.
The basic story that occurred is that a underage Afghan kid (15 years old) got into a relationship. Somewhere in the past month, things went south in this relationship, and this past week....the kid confronted the German girl (15 as well)....and stabbed her dead. Locals are asking questions, and the authorities are in a fair amount of discussion.
For probably two years, this whole discussion of underage migrants has been around. Over and over, various cases are laid out where it's obvious that the 'kid' is not 15 or 16 years old....but in his twenties.
Out of Bavaria, CSU political folks are calling now for a reliable age determination. They want it mandated throughout Germany.
Some doctors will say that you can do various tests to prove someone is not a juvenile. Others will say that NO reliable form of science or medicine can arrive at a reliable age situation.
Going back to the kid's home country and demanding some factual evidence of life history? Oddly, it's the piece missing out of this story. No one wants to challenge the kid's in any court. This is the part of the theme that I've watched for several years in Germany and be unable to understand.
The German system prior to the last decade was fairly simple. You went into a German embassy in your home-country....showed a passport or identity papers, and then stated your need to apply for residency or asylum in Germany. In roughly a hundred days, they either approved or disapproved your paperwork.
These days....you skip all that paperwork, pay some smugglers several thousand dollars or Euro, and arrive in Germany with or without an ID. If you state you are under seventeen years old.....you get treated differently and it's practically a 99-percent chance that you will be staying. Even if you get into criminal efforts.....sell drugs on the side....or cause trouble, it won't matter....the Germans won't send you away.
As for the possibility that every single migrant unaccompanied kid will be forced to take an age test? It'll never happen. The German court system will stop it....or the Bundestag will drag it's feet enough to prevent this from occurring. How many are actually fake jurniles? Unknown. It might be five-percent.....it might be fifty-percent.
The curious thing, which you could bring up to any German intellectual all hyped up and positive about this game....is that you could have nine-year old Afghan kids seeing this vast open door and stealing enough money to pay-off smugglers and make it all the way into Germany. Thousands, upon thousands of kids....could be on some road from Afghanistan to Germany....simply because of the attitude of German society.
