Over the weekend, one of the CSU political folks hyped up a new German expression..."anti-deportation industry". The basic description? There is a suggestion that various pro-asylum, pro-immigration, and pro-migration folks are banding up to help defeat legal deportation efforts of failed visa applicants.
The public TV folks reacted and criticized the words used and strongly suggested that there is no 'industry' of such existing.
My general view is that limited number of people....probably in the 10,000 range....are working to find legal means to extend out failed applicant individuals, and helping those individuals use the court system to delay deportation. In some cases, it works....in others, it merely stalls the deportation another three to six months.
To suggest it's an industry....would be a joke. To suggest it's a conspiracy and some political individuals are behind it....yes, that's probably to some degree true.
The question to ask at this point....do working-class Germans believe in the expression "anti-deportation industry"? My guess is that more than two-thirds of the German working-class would say yes....it's going on. The attempt by the public news media to suggest otherwise? Not really believable.
I might go and even suggest that 'industry' really doesn't fit....it's more of a cult-like group than anything else. As far as these folks are concerned.....no one should ever be deported. And their belief in this....reaches a cult-like stage.
