Border enforcement reduces illegal migration in Germany
The number of illegal migrants known crossing into Germany has collapsed in just weeks after the government decided to try something new… border control.
Around 300 illegal migrants are detected crossing on average into Germany every day, down considerably from the roughly 700 a day a month ago, analysis of police figures in a German newspaper claims. The sudden change follows a new policy of border control from the nation’s ‘traffic light’ coalition government, dominated by the pro-open borders left-wing Social Democrats and the Green party, with some input from the free-market liberal Free Democrats.
The idea of increasing border controls was not popular with the SPD, but was eventually sold as a humanitarian action intended to protect people being abused by people smugglers in a bid to claw some popularity back after serious defeats in local elections. Initially intended to be active for just ten days, it has since had two 20-day extensions. While the number of arrivals are still considerable, the experiment at least shows that even trying to police a nation’s borders can be effective.

It also worked for the US when Trump was in office. Biden opened the borders and all of a sudden millions began illegal entry into the US. Since Biden took office the number of illegals entering the country has been about eight million and is still growing.
