return

The topic of repatriation is also always very welcome in order to be able to pursue populist clientele politics as much as possible. And anyone who thinks that only parties at the two extreme ends of our party spectrum do this is very wrong. Our so-called people's parties in particular are causing a storm of enthusiasm among their respective party peoples with this topic. And that is precisely why there will never be a solution that is acceptable to everyone.

Repatriation, which is also often referred to as deportation or deportation, is an expulsion of illegal immigrants or rejected asylum seekers.

The member states of the European Union have different return agreements to third countries. Germany has e.g. B. Repatriation agreements with Morocco and Algeria or some Balkan countries and surprisingly also with Spain and Greece. However, one cannot speak of a concept behind it, here agreements are concluded at whim by politicians who happen to be responsible at the moment, whereby the short-term mood swings of their own clientele are likely to be the main cause.

Some bilateral repatriation agreements within the EU fell away due to the Schengen Agreement and the regulations under the Dublin Regulation, which in turn probably led to the agreements between Germany and Spain and Greece - that's really exciting, because the politician responsible for it is serving both wings of his party, those who welcome Schengen and Dublin and those who then celebrate the agreements with the Mediterranean countries. Career politics at its best: one step left, one step right, and then celebrate the years to come for the progress you've made!

And the EU also has repatriation agreements, but they are called readmission agreements there, which simply sounds much better. These were concluded with the Russian Federation and Turkey, among others, and we can all very easily imagine what these agreements are actually worth.

And that brings me to the real point, because for the most part it is not the lack of laws, agreements or agreements that cause us all the problems, but it is always the people who have to fill these agreements with life or even implement them. I'm not talking about the decades-long inability of our politicians to develop a viable overall concept or even to tackle the causes of this problem, but about the more than amateurish implementation of the agreements, some of which have been in existence for decades.

And we have a system for this!

As a soldier in the 1990s, I had to experience the deportation practices, especially those of the Bavarian state government in the Balkans. There, those people were deported who were easiest to get hold of and who couldn't or didn't want to defend themselves. I had to experience, among other things, how entire family lives were destroyed - simply for the quick fame of individual politicians or because of fascist ideas of violence by some civil servants.

And even today, the question of who is actually being deported from us repeatedly leads to indignation and shaking of heads among the entire citizenry. I, too, am firmly convinced that criminals who have no civil right to stay with us should be deported to their countries of origin or even to transit countries better yesterday than today.

I see things differently for all those who want to and are able to get involved productively for the benefit of society as a whole. We should really do everything we can to ensure that these people can integrate with us as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, however, our “public servants” deport people who are willing to work and perform better than criminals; the fates behind them are completely irrelevant to these fellow citizens.

In addition, and you have to look at it that way, there is already a separate branch of industry here that is concerned with keeping people who have no business here for as long as possible, thereby trampling on the principles of our legal system — just and solely for their own benefit.

And so we will also see in the future how nice and productive people are deported and how repeat criminals are allowed to stay with us until they are automatically granted the right to stay due to their old age.

But that way we can always enjoy one or the other story that probably comes to our ears. Just recently, a good friend of mine told me about an employee who worked very diligently and properly for him as an unskilled worker. And so my good acquaintance was not very happy when this employee gave him notice because he was returning to his home country with a lucrative return assistance from the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees.

My good friend was delighted when, after all the holidays, the said employee came back to his farm — just in time, since business is going well — and asked to be hired. A query revealed that his name is now just different. Impossible? I don't think so, because we can now easily change names.

I haven't checked out that nice story, but I'd like to take this as an opportunity to ask who got it wrong on this one; Of course, this is only a rhetorical question that I am very happy to answer myself.

Firstly, our politics, which is hardly able and willing to enact understandable, sustainable and, above all, effective laws, and secondly, an administrative apparatus that more and more often lacks the technical and social competence to make laws, agreements, rules or regulations implement and enforce.
