I sat over a short story from ARD this morning....concerning migrants who failed the German visa exam. It's an odd story.
There are (at least toward the end of 2017) around 65,000 failed visa applicants in Germany...who have this massive problem....no identification papers, and thus no way to be returned to their homeland.
It's a 71-percent increase over the previous year and a sign of long-term problems.
From this group.....around 5,700 folks from India....almost 5,000 from Pakistan....almost 4,000 from Afghanistan, and almost 4,000 from Russia.
In fact, the Germans even acknowledge they've got around 3,800 folks who won't give them any idea of their originating country.
So as they tell the story.....the second and more critical part of the problem comes out. Even when you get the guy to give them enough info to hand to the second country.....it doesn't really mean anything because they may not react or even acknowledge the guy was originally in their country. Yes, there are various countries who really don't care to get their people back from Germany.
The carrot-and-the-stick method of getting responses? No one suggests that but you have to wonder how exactly you can move this along, or if it'll ever move along. To be honest, I don't see any 'ace' that Germany holds....unless you were to deny visa-entry into Germany to a vast crowd unless the governments react.
