On the Topic of Deportation

There's a interesting story off of ARD (German public TV, Channel One), which talks to a immigration issue that the public is pepped-up upon.....deportation.

So the German government admits that there are approximately 248,000 people who are on a deportation list....in Germany today.  It's a pretty fair number.

However, they also kinda admit that 50,000 of them (more or less) may have have already left the country.  They say this mostly because they can't find the guy or gal.  The fact that the person may have moved to another EU country?  Maybe.  But they can't say much of anything for a fact.

But here comes this other highly criticized fact.....there's 77,000 of this quarter-million group, who've been on the deportee list for a minimum of three years.  For roughly half of these people....they've been on the deportee list for five years.

For a lot of these people, it's simply a lack of 'papers' (passports or entry paperwork to their old home-country).  It's figured that roughly 80,000 of the quarter-million deportees lack the paperwork.

Where all of this leads onto?  Public frustration over the program, the lack of someone to blame, and a perception that political chatter leads nowhere.

Some people have suggested that there needs to be deportation centers built, and the minute that the judge has signed off the failure of your application....you get picked up and put into the center (maybe for months, or even years), so you get the idea that you will be leaving.

Officially, some additional deportation centers are being built....but no one really says how they will be used, or if this is simply political bluffing....to assure the public that 'something' is being done. 

The suggestion by some Germans that I've heard on occasion....that the deportee listing is made up of 98-percent males?  Merely a rumor....no substance and no government statement.

The path ahead?  Almost every single time now that you have a German seriously assaulted or killed, by a guy on the deportee listing....it gets into the public eye rather quickly (within 24 hours usually).  Then questions start to arise....who can be blamed, and who can be 'fired'.  Officially, you can't fire anyone...because no one is really responsible. 

At some point, in a political election year (like 2021 coming up).....a murder or two by deportees will occur, and this will push more in the public to vote for the AfD Party.  Merkel's crew (the CDU-CSU).....realize this, as does the SPD Party.  Even with a win of 32-plus-percent, it remains to be seen how they'd find some party to be a coalition group with.  This would simply create a number two party taking the eventual lead, coalition-building into a highly weakened and ineffective group, and creating even more chaos in the future. 

An unsolvable mess?  Probably, but you need not worry about 'firing' anyone.  It won't happen.
