Family from Syria: Rejected to Austria twice in 48 hours!
Last weekend, more precisely on June 28th and 29th, a Syrian family consisting of five people was deported to Austria twice in Bavaria due to a lack of travel documents. Loud Innsalzach24 The officers initially discovered the family during a check on the Inntal Autobahn (A93) in a coach from Italy. Despite showing photos of Greek asylum cards, the family was unable to provide any relevant documents for entry or stay in Germany.
The following night, another check, this time on a long-distance train from Kufstein to Munich, led to another rejection. Here, too, they had valid train tickets, but the lack of documents meant that the family was deported again to Austria. These incidents highlight the stricter border controls that have been in force in Germany since September 2024 and have been proven to result in a significant number of unauthorized entries.
Stricter controls – a look at the numbers
As the daily news reported that since these systematic controls began, over 22,000 unauthorized entries have been detected. In the first 140 days of controls, 13,786 people without valid documents were rejected or deported. With these measures, the policy aims to reduce irregular migration.
Despite this harsh approach, analysis shows that there is no direct connection between the controls and the number of refugees. In 2024, around 250,900 people applied for asylum in Germany, which corresponds to a decrease of around a third compared to 2023. The number of unauthorized border crossings fell by 36% to 83,000, according to the report Media service integration determines.
A changing picture of migration
A look at the different migration routes shows that the paths of those seeking protection are increasingly adapting to the new border controls. Although controls have been increased, more and more people are seeking legal routes to Europe. Interestingly, the statistics for 2024 show that most unauthorized entries took place via the German-Polish border. A third of this took place via the so-called Belarus route.
The changes in refugee migration are a dynamic process. Migration researchers recommend that a smarter approach to preventing humanitarian crises could lie in conflict prevention and diplomatic work. This could make it possible to reduce the number of people who have to leave their homes due to conflicts and crises and ultimately improve the humanitarian situation.
