We must besides take into account the programme of all those who say, yes, we must reduce the number of illegal migration, but we must besides proceed to respect our values," she said.
Government defends its policy
According to Angela Merkel's assessment of the return of border migrants, the administrative court in Berlin late ruled for 3 Somalis who entered Germany by train from Poland. According to the court, returning them during inspection at the first station after crossing the border German was against the law.

– But of course times have changed. In 2019, and thus inactive under Angela Merkel's rule, we developed a large migration package, which besides included a bill aimed at improving return policy. It is so absolutely clear that we must do more to regulate, control and, above all, limit migration," added the head of the Kancler Office.
