The Deportation Story

It's one of those page six stories that won't get much traction in Germany.

So, yesterday....at the Frankfurt Airport....they had an episode where some Afghan folks were delivered and put upon aircraft back to Afghanistan.  Twenty-seven folks were escorted upon the flights to leave.  It's safe to say that they were being deported by the German government.

Around 500 Germans came into the airport and protested the deportation....saying mostly "no human being is illegal, right of residence everywhere."

Some of the deported folks were from the region of Hessen....some from Bavaria.

How do you get on the deportee list?  Well....you can ask a German government official and it'll turn into a sixteen-minute answer that almost makes you weep tears because of the intensity of the talk.  To make it simple....it comes down to three situations:

1.  You openly lied on your application, and when caught lying....you just kept on adding to the lie episode....to the point that the German government guy gives up on your case.

2.  You supposed to attend language and integration classes, and you basically skipped them to a degree, failed the classes, or just didn't make any effort on the mandated orientation situation.

3.  You got yourself arrested for a felony situation (usually robbery, assault, threats, repeated drug sales violations, etc). 

The hype of the protest crowd?  They see Afghanistan as being a threat-area and think that it's unfair to force people back there.  The fact that several million Afghan folks live there in the German-perceived threat area...should make each of the five-hundred ask the question....if it's unsafe there....and all of the residents of Afghanistan feel unsafe, shouldn't German take all 34-million Afghanistan residents?

Oh, well.....yeah.....that logic doesn't seem to creep into the mindset of the 500 Germans.

Worldwide, I would take a guess that over three-hundred million folks are in an unsafe country and need to leave.  Naturally, if you were picky about this.....they ought to all come to Germany. 

How many Germans feel happy over the protest and support this stoppage of the deportation?  If you asked folks if this issue ranks on their top hundred list of problems in Germany....the vast majority will say no.
