Germany’s new Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt told reporters on Wednesday that he had instructed federal police to tighten border controls with the goal of turning back more irregular migrants, including those who intend to seek asylum.

Poland and Austria have criticized the new government’s plan, which would also see Berlin rejecting people who want to claim asylum.

    It’s all about that nice fuzzy feeling, not actual results.

      Hmmh, you’re right. And it makes something tingle inside of me as well. But it’s not a nice feeling… Let’s just hope they don’t waste too much effort on this. And they don’t molest me when I’m shopping or on a weekend trip. Maybe they should invest the money into some social media propaganda campaign. I heard that aligns with the zeitgeist as well. And it’d also make people feel a certain way. I’d say that’s likely cheaper and more effective.
