Criticism of Refugee Rejections at the German Border

Migration researcher Gerald Knaus has sharply criticized the practice of rejecting refugees at the German border. He described these measures as 'contrary to European law' and as 'failed symbolic politics' that have very little impact on the actual migration situation. Knaus advocates for a new and more effective approach that respects the rights of refugees while addressing the challenges of migration in Europe. He argues that current practices are not only legally questionable but also undermine the humanitarian principles that Europe is based on.
