NEW ASYLUM LAW

The European Parliament has adopted a law containing new restrictions on asylum applications. This law will come into force after it is approved by the European Commission. Each member country must include this EU-wide law in their national laws. It can be said that it is its officialization. Many countries were already implementing new restrictions on asylum applications and asylum seekers bringing their families.

The question must be asked: Eight years ago, Germany opened its doors to approximately one million refugees, who started from Syria, passed through Turkey and left the Balkan countries behind on foot. At least 800,000 of them were Syrians.

While the French administration of the time determined that Germany was "crazy",  Merkel, who was the prime minister of Germany, said her famous sentence: Wir schaffen das. We will handle it, we find jobs for everyone, we ensure integration…

Why is Germany, which accepted such a large immigration by opening its doors, not in the same position now? span>

In response to the criticism against Merkel, the President of the Employers' Association at the time announced that these people were needed. There was a shortage of personnel in Germany, especially in the cheap labor sector. These people could be sent to German courses, learn some language, and then be put into the job market with a short training.

Indeed This was how it was going to be.

After eight years, it is possible to see Syrians everywhere. There are almost no German bus drivers left. New professions emerged. For example, the number of protection and control personnel has increased tremendously.

There are almost no supporters of the Islamic State or similar organizations among Syrians. It can be said. They even recognized and captured a few torturers of the Assad regime who had mixed up with them. It is said that he is a supporter of the state or similar organizations. This understanding, which is especially common among Alevis, is wrong. Since it cannot be said that the Islamists stayed in Turkey and the others went to other countries, especially Germany, this understanding is unfounded.

Being a Sunni and an Islamist are different from each other.

Germany could block such a law if it wanted, but He didn't. Cheap labor is no longer needed. The market is saturated. Additionally

over one million Ukrainians live in Germany. They do not need to apply for asylum.

Tightening or loosening asylum laws according to the needs of the labor market is not new. In the 1980s, when jobs opened in the garment industry in Paris, police supervision in the workshops was removed. When the garment industry was in depression, police raids would begin, looking for illegal workers. Even in places where it is larger, immigrants do not want new cheap labor to come. In fact, many immigrant organizations advocate the same thing, but they say the opposite in their statements.

Germany's more overfilling may also lead to the restriction of the rights of those living here. In the crime statistics for 2023, the high increase in the crime rate among those who do not have a German passport is already the subject of debate. While the figures are brought to the agenda especially by the CDU and AfD, the demand for further restriction of immigration is started.

Consequently, the general demand is for new futures to be as few as possible
