Our means are finite - Europe must show its toughness against illegal migration

Everything is really coming together at the moment. War in Ukraine, energy crisis, Corona autumn, and now the number of refugees looking for security and a better life in Europe is skyrocketing again: most with the destination Germany.

There is talk of a “historic escape winter”. The federal police registered a record number of illegal entries, the Bavarian border police will intensify the search for smugglers in the border regions.

When the numbers rise and pictures of migrants cooped up in rickety vans make the rounds, criticism is not far away that Europe or Germany are “failing” in refugee policy. The governments should do more, help more, in this country, in the EU and "on site" to combat the "causes of flight". But if you look around the world a little, you will see that in view of the flood of refugees you can only fail.

Many things have been tried: the EU paid Turkey not to let Syrian refugees through; Southern Europeans made deals with North African states to hold back migrants; Politicians traveled to sub-Saharan countries for talks to stop the exodus from there to the north.

Austria's Chancellor Sebastian Kurz already wanted to handle asylum procedures in Albania or Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Great Britain is now cooperating with Rwanda so that asylum seekers can wait there for the outcome of their procedures. Denmark wants to do something similar, the goal of the Social Democrats there is “zero asylum”.

According to their own statements, the Serbian police discovered 200 migrants in a makeshift camp near the Hungarian border. Several smugglers were also arrested. Authorities estimate that there are hundreds to thousands of people trying to get to western Europe via the Balkan route.

And yet the stream of refugees does not stop. Because they know that all they have to do is reach EU territory: then they will receive basic services that would be unattainable for many in their homeland, and even if they do not receive a right to stay, almost none of them will ever be sent back.

This practice may be wished for as an ideal, but it has become untenable. Because our resources are finite and because the refugee issue threatens to tear many societies apart.

Europe's governments must fight illegal immigration with determination and toughness: through communication with the countries of origin, through increased controls at the borders, through fences, through repatriations. Like US Vice President Kamala Harris, who called out to migrants in Central America: “We will send you back at the border. Don't come!
