In Germany, about one million people who have been rejected for asylum remain in the country, the Epoch Times reported. In most cases, these people are living in Germany illegally, waiting for appeals to be decided or facing deportation difficulties. The country’s authorities recognize the problem and are actively seeking ways to address it, but the deportation process is hampered by political, legal and humanitarian aspects.
The denial of asylum affects several categories of migrants. Among them are:
1) economic migrants – people who are seeking better living conditions but have no grounds for asylum by international standards,
2) non-status migrants – those who have no legal basis for staying in Germany, including tourists and people with expired visas,
3) refused status reviewers – migrants whose applications have been rejected but who continue to stay in the country by filing new appeals.
4) Refused deportees – people who have been denied asylum but are evading deportation, often using legal loopholes or for humanitarian reasons.
These are mainly citizens of Afghanistan, Turkey and Kosovo who are often denied asylum because they do not meet the criteria for refugee status. These countries are seen as safe, with low levels of violence or political persecution.
Also included in the refusals are people who have not proven to belong to vulnerable categories such as refugees from violence, persecution or war.
The issue is hotly debated in German society, and the authorities are taking steps to improve migration policy, including efforts to speed up deportation processes and reform the asylum system. However, political and humanitarian considerations continue to be major obstacles to an effective resolution.
