Freiburg (dpa / lsw) – Minister of Justice Marion Gentges has rejected the immediate suspension of deportation for migrants who, under the new federal rules, could have the prospect of remaining in Germany. “We have agreed in the coalition in Baden-Württemberg that we will not make an advance decree,” the CDU politician of the German News Agency in Freiburg said Tuesday. However, it is wrong if the SPD or the Young Greens give the impression that the country is still deporting masses of people who could stay here in a few months due to the new regulations that will then apply. “This simply does not correspond to the facts.”
There is a tension here between the applicable law and the personal hardships for people who will soon be subject to the new legal regulation. “We try to take this into account on a case-by-case basis,” Gentges said. This also corresponds to the intention of the Greens and the CDU in the coalition agreement to make it easier for people to stay with sustainable integration.
The state SPD and the Green Youth had asked for a decision to stop the deportations due to the so-called right of residence, which the federal cabinet decided in July. The new right of residence should apply to people who have been residing in Germany for at least five years starting from 1 January 2022 and who are committed to the free democratic basic order. Foreigners who have lived in Germany for years without a secure residence permit must have long-term residence prospects.
