Spahn said in December that integrated Syrians migrants can stay in Germany but others should leave the country, proposing the payment of 1, euros to each Syrian migrant willing to return to their country. Angela Merkel, former Chancellor of Germany who was also the leader of the CDU, opened Germany's doors particularly to Syrian asylum seekers, but now the party has introduced a bill to parliament seeking the deportation of those migrants whose residence permits have been rejected, those who commit violence, and even includes Syrians who have subsidiary.
The following is the full transcript of the interview with Spahn. Rudaw: Mr. Jens Spahn, thank you for this opportunity. Your party wants to tighten immigration policy. What exactly do you mean by the five-point plan? Spahn : First, we need to know what kind of immigration we are talking about.
We want immigrants for the labor market. We are happy with those who have come to Germany in past years and decades; they are part of German society. For many years, they have been working normally, are cooperative, and learn the language. We are designing Germany's future together. What is being discussed now is illegal and irregular immigration.
Some people who come in easily, mostly young men. We do not know why and for what purpose, from day one they receive social welfare benefits. We see this is a burden for society, schools, and municipalities.
It is also a security risk. Solingen, Mannheim, Magdeburg, and now very badly Aschaffenburg, where a two-year-old child was stabbed and killed. We want to end this kind of illegal immigration. I want you to tell me about this five-point bill that you want to take to Parliament.
