More money from the federal government for migration policy, deportations of serious criminals to Syria and Afghanistan, no more citizen’s benefit for Ukraine refugees: In a new resolution, the state parliament CSU presents a comprehensive catalog of demands for reforms in asylum and migration policy. In the paper entitled “Limit migration”, the Christian Socialists argue that “irregular migration” must be “effectively combated using all permissible state means”.
Otherwise, social peace in the country would be at risk, the population’s general willingness to help would decrease, while right-wing populist and right-wing extremist views would noticeably increase. What is necessary is a “limitation and control of immigration,” demands the CSU. In large parts, the paper summarizes old and well-known positions of the CSU – but in certain points it is also clearer than before.
Framework conditions must be created “to enable deportations of serious criminals and threats, including to countries of origin such as Syria and Afghanistan.” The introduction of “transit centers” at the German borders should be examined if the EU’s external border protection is not effectively implemented. The CSU also calls for a “rethinking of the entire asylum and protection law in a pan-European context”. And war refugees from Ukraine should no longer receive asylum seeker benefits and no longer receive citizen’s benefits.
The state parliament CSU is permanently demanding more money from the federal government than was agreed upon in the most recent federal-state round of Prime Ministers with Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD). “The funds currently made available by the federal government and planned for the future for refugee-related costs are inadequate and do not come close to doing justice to the dramatic situation on site,” says the paper that was presented to the parliamentary group on Wednesday.
Most recently, the CSU, under its new parliamentary group leader Klaus Holetschek, had already drawn up a paper on integration policy in which the concept of the German “leading culture” was revived.
