Migration: Saxony's CDU Interior Minister wants to abolish the fundamental right to asylum
Armin Schuster wants to replace the individual right to asylum with a quota plan. The idea is not the first move in this direction.
Dresden, Germany - The CDU-Innenminister of Saxony, Armin Schuster, has proposed a new plan to tighten asylum laws in the region. According to a four-point plan, the focus should shift from individual asylum rights to a quota system for future asylum grants in Germany. The CDU politician believes that the country's security interests should take precedence over the stay interests of convicted criminals.
This would mean that the state's security interest would outweigh the integration prospects of convicted criminals, according to Schuster.
In addition to the new quota system, Schuster also proposed that rejected asylum seekers could be held in detention centers to ensure their departure. For this to happen, the foreigner law would need to include a "departure enforcement detention" provision. Schuster argued that this change is necessary to fully implement the migration shift, and suggested that priority should be given to deporting individuals who have committed crimes and those who are not integrating into society.
