Question: why does Germany allow those looking to apply for asylum into thr country when there is no war in any of Germany's neighboring country?! Can't they request asylum in that neighboring country? Just asking.
According to the Dublin-procedure asylum seekers have to apply asylum in the first secure state they enter, which, for most asylum seekers, is not necessarily Germany. Some immigrants travel through safe countries to apply for asylum in Germany, their country of choice. I guess the border controls are also to make sure that does not happen all the time.
Well, as another Dutch citizen I think it's a load of BS. If you do not search vehicles, and patrol every possible crossing, it doesn't make sense. In the meantime, goods will become a lot more expensive, tourism will decrease, and people will generally be annoyed. Focus on the outer borders of the EU, not internal borders.
I used to live in Schärding in Austria which is near Neuhaus am Inn in Germany, these checks were always there as far as I remember, I was only stopped once and they let me go within 30 seconds as soon as I presented them with the right documents. For people with documents I do not think this will create any problem at all.
When Hungary or Poland does that Germany cries out loud: closing borders is a violation of this or that. When they do it, its national security. Such glaring double standard shows germany's hypocrisy.

@@martavdz4972 yes, you will. To the extend that your cross border traffic isn't affected, it's also not effective at keeping asylum seekers out. Also, most likely, countries like Poland and Czech Republic will just refuse taking them back when they crossed from there... So in the end this will be much ado about nothing.
Yeah, this isn't going to enrage too many countries except Hungary. They did the same thing but are now letting Russian ex-Pats flood in, some of whom are to replace lost intelligence assets. I think Orban understands that this is laying the ground work to exclude Russians from gaining the freedom of movement that Shengen provides.

It's enough to go through the commentaries to see that plenty buy it, even though in this same video they explain that if someone comes for asylum, they are welcome in. People are going to wait in queues and nothing will really happen. I've gone through these checks plenty of times and it's nothing more than an annoying show that wastes normal people's time... and I'm pretty sure also lots of money
I understand the sentiment of the concerned germans. However, would it not be more logical to impose border restrictions at the border with the EU and not on individual member country's borders? The whole reason the EU works is b/c of the free borders between member countries. Re-instituting border checks nullifies any advantage of that arrangement.
Go tell that to Bryssel. But sinse they dont do anything to secure the European outer borders, countries has to start to protect their own borders one by one. Poland, Netherland, Germany, Finland few to mention has already took action. But its not enough, more has to be done and should have been done already 15 years ago.

It's the American way ! Germany's following the Big Brother. We in the U.S.A. clamped down hard after 2001-Sep-11 but the World Trade Center was bombed in early 1993 shortly after Bill Clinton was inaugurated. There have been numerous warnings and intelligence. Neither William Jefferson Clinton nor George Walker Bush did much to take out the doubt, even after Osama bin Laden had announced on the ABC Nightline news program that he would be murdering "Americans, military or civilian."
People who claim you racist for doing so usually have their own political agenda for doing so. It's always rich folks who live in gated communities with a non-white percentage of 2-3% per 100 people or so, or people who live inside Social Media consuming too much brain-rotting extreme leftist stuff (not that the extreme-right stuff is any better - social media stuff, just so)
I crossed into the BRD from the Netherlands on Sunday and got fished out of the Autobahn for a spot check. They were quick and efficient so it only took 5 minutes. I have no problem with being checked and welcome improved security.
Well, it adds! I don't think it's a bad measure. We're in an emergency, and the rest of the serious countries will follow, creating a safety net between countries.

Yesterday I was coming from a wedding from Warsaw. We had to wait 4 HOURS sitting on the border, Ind a HUGE traffic jam, where we were able to move 250 meters per hour. The whole city was in a complete gridlock, caos everywhere, people driving on the wrong hand out of despair, city live completely disrupted - people were not abe to drive from the supermarket parking lot, ambulances could not reach the hospital. I had a 3 year old child with me, we have to have her urinate on the sidewalk twice, like an animal. I recorded the whole ordeal on my dashcam and plan to pursue legal action. This is an abuse and a violence on our rights. I will NERVER, EVER vote again for the SPD. (BTW, we are all Germans in a german car - so this stupidity in an attack to our citizen rights as well.)
This is not something new. I live near border of Netherlands and in most Sundays I visit NL, and plenty of time border police check IDs when I'm coming back. Last December I visited Austria and didn't have the documents. I show a photo of it and they get confirmed that with their system and no questions asked.
Even if I wouldn't agree more in tackling extremism and irregular migration, I am very sceptical of the validity of this move, especially as EU citizens would be hit too. I thought the Germans were very smart, but no, I was wrong.
Es gab in letzter Zeit zu viele Tote. Die Politik musste handeln, sonst wäre die Regierungspartei unter 5% gerutscht. Die haben nur Angst um ihre lukrativen Posten. Die Bevölkerung ist denen schon lange egal.
Helping displaced people by providing temporary shelter is one thing, but giving random people that showed up at the border citizenship is quite another IMO.
This whole European open border thing is a weird concept for me. When they came up with this it never occurred to them that people were going to milk the system? It wasn't the Europeans to be fearful of but other people that would take see ways to take advantage of the system.
I was having conversation with a lady asylum seeker and on asking what problem she had in her home country she answerd nothing and adding on it she mocked that who more lies to german govt will get more. Since then i am speechless as we are paying high taxes to sustain normal life. Can one tell me how to report such people ????
I think the EU should close borders, reevaluate things, clean up and then if you still want and CAN. Open them with lots of caution. What was wrong with keeping them in Rawanda anyway? Why jeopardise your own people for someone else?
Been recently crossing the Poland-Germany border, and what happens in reality is they're making all the vehicles move into a single lane and slow down to 20km/h. So that they're looking through the windows of every passing car at the skin color of their passengers. This way the pull over and perform document checks only within the specific spectrum range. DW journalist was too shy to tell the truth.
I fully support these checks, security is not a joke and should not be undermined. I hope all countries in the EU and Switzerland increase and maintain these checks. It brings no harm, just increased security for us all in Europe. I have a spanish passport and I live in Switzerland.
This is just symbol politics. You think people trying to enter the country will be impressed by a passport check..? They'll hide in trucks and vans, or find alternative routes into the country. So you'll need to search all trucks, vans, caravans, etc. etc., and patrol the borders too. I'm willing to bet there's no budget for that. Plus, everything will become much more expensive because of the endless queues. And I'm not even talking about the general annoyance, decrease in tourism, etc.
In 2018 the bus I was traveling on from Innsbruck to Munich was checked and three people were asked to get off. These three people only got out after half an hour when the police arrived with gloves and truncheons...
What's funny is in the US people who talked about the borders were considered right wing racist. So the governor of Texas decided to send immigrants by the thousands, to liberal cities and expensive places like New England. Now, all are concerned about illegal immigration, LOL!
As a Dutch/German I dont see the issue here! We can still travel quite freely to and from germany. You just can be stopped and checked out that takes like 5 to 10 minutes of your time and than go your marry way.

Frankly, other Schengen countries should do the same...Don't complain about Germany supporting its citizens security, do something yourself for your own. I'm not anti-immigration, but I also don't find a problem with knowing who is coming and going. A country is a home.

@summerwest3099 I have seen check on train in the past. They do not interfere with the schedule. They simply board the train and check while the train is between stops. So either way you should not have any delays on trains outside normal issues.

Geert Wilders and the Dutch Minister of Asylum Marianne Faber said on Dutch television that they are happy with the German border controls. Wilders said that we should have done this earlier too, but were always thwarted by the left-wing parties. According to the left-wing parties, the EU would never allow this, well Wilders says it can, look at Germany. The Dutch Minister of Asylum has also offered Germany to send the Dutch Royal Gendarmerie to the border for cooperation.
Unfortunately that's what's happening if we don't work together but against each other. That's also why the EU can't be as strong as the US or China for example. Not because of our finances but simply because we're unable to coordinate our countries and to speak with one voice.
EU is adapting to external pressures in ways that weren't allowed for in its initial formation. There will be some conflicts, but despite the most fervent wishes of Russia, it will settle out. They still have tremendous advantage to gain from their cooperation and the sentiment across Europe is pretty much on the same page.
So instead of doing this on the EU external borders, we are doing this for internal borders. Absolute geniuses

Same here in the Czech Republic, I don't think we'll have any problem with it.
@@martavdz4972 yes, you will. To the extend that your cross border traffic isn't affected, it's also not effective at keeping asylum seekers out. Also, most likely, countries like Poland and Czech Republic will just refuse taking them back when they crossed from there... So in the end this will be much ado about nothing.
Yeah, this isn't going to enrage too many countries except Hungary. They did the same thing but are now letting Russian ex-Pats flood in, some of whom are to replace lost intelligence assets.
I think Orban understands that this is laying the ground work to exclude Russians from gaining the freedom of movement that Shengen provides.
@@Andreas-gh6is They can no longer "cross from there", as they are not allowed to enter.
These check are “temporary” for years now. This is a joke 😅😅😅
If any European conservatives govt did this it would be labeled Racist and Fascist.

@@Renard380doubtful it makes much of a difference
@@Renard380 the attacker in Solingen was in the country, a border check would not have stopped this person. These measures are more performative than anything.
@smac more laws are needed.
And then people will cry about higher prices for groceries and blame the immigrants again
They don't check the back roads and paths; you can just drive or hike a thousand people and they wouldn't even know.
Politicians putting on a show to fool people, but then why not? It's enough to go through the commentaries to see that plenty buy it, even though in this same video they explain that if someone comes for asylum, they are welcome in. People are going to wait in queues and nothing will really happen. I've gone through these checks plenty of times and it's nothing more than an annoying show that wastes normal people's time... and I'm pretty sure also lots of money
I understand the sentiment of the concerned germans. However, would it not be more logical to impose border restrictions at the border with the EU and not on individual member country's borders? The whole reason the EU works is b/c of the free borders between member countries. Re-instituting border checks nullifies any advantage of that arrangement.
Go tell that to Bryssel. But sinse they dont do anything to secure the European outer borders, countries has to start to protect their own borders one by one. Poland, Netherland, Germany, Finland few to mention has already took action. But its not enough, more has to be done and should have been done already 15 years ago.
Good job Germany! the entire European Union should start protecting its borders.
What Union would it be?
Are you paying attention Keir Starmer ?
A forest does not have border guards.
I suggest that German border Police make some border passer by buy a VW randomly. Doing so it makes the Border control more fun and who knows may be VW doesn’t have to close any factory in Germany by this fun measure.

So just say you want to claim asylum and they'll let anyone in!
This is like closing the doors after the robbers have entered your house.
It's the American way ! Germany's following the Big Brother. We in the U.S.A. clamped down hard after 2001-Sep-11 but the World Trade Center was bombed in early 1993 shortly after Bill Clinton was inaugurated. There have been numerous warnings and intelligence. Neither William Jefferson Clinton nor George Walker Bush did much to take out the doubt, even after Osama bin Laden had announced on the ABC Nightline news program that he would be murdering "Americans, military or civilian."
There is no problem just checking docs. What’s wrong with that?
"There Is Nothing Racist Or Xenophobic About Putting Your Own Citizens First , And Choosing Who Comes Into Your Country"... 💯%
People who claim you racist for doing so usually have their own political agenda for doing so. It's always rich folks who live in gated communities with a non-white percentage of 2-3% per 100 people or so, or people who live inside Social Media consuming too much brain-rotting extreme leftist stuff (not that the extreme-right stuff is any better - social media stuff, just so)

Need to start checking papers inside borders
Mindless nonsense, politically compensating for decades of inaction on the Schengen borders.
If external borders are not enforced, the interior borders have to be.
I'm Romanian and I'm glad Germany is imposing border checks on Austria.
How being Romanian add anything to your opinion?

Well, it adds! I don't think it's a bad measure. We're in an emergency, and the rest of the serious countries will follow, creating a safety net between countries.
It’s hard to fix now
i'm glad this explained the situation...i was seeing video titles about it but they all seemed to assume the schengen thing was known to everyone so i wasn't able to follow what they were talking about and would just watch only the first minute or so. 🙂
Yesterday I was coming from a wedding from Warsaw. We had to wait 4 HOURS sitting on the border, Ind a HUGE traffic jam, where we were able to move 250 meters per hour. The whole city was in a complete gridlock, caos everywhere, people driving on the wrong hand out of despair, city live completely disrupted - people were not abe to drive from the supermarket parking lot, ambulances could not reach the hospital. I had a 3 year old child with me, we have to have her urinate on the sidewalk twice, like an animal. I recorded the whole ordeal on my dashcam and plan to pursue legal action. This is an abuse and a violence on our rights. I will NERVER, EVER vote again for the SPD. (BTW, we are all Germans in a german car - so this stupidity in an attack to our citizen rights as well.)
Its usually fine, but on the weekend its tends to be a problem.
The queues reached till supermarkets in Warsaw and over the whole town? I think this is a fairy tale...
I understand your outrage. I feel it too. This is an unacceptable decision by the German government that will do much more harm than good.
This is not something new. I live near border of Netherlands and in most Sundays I visit NL, and plenty of time border police check IDs when I'm coming back. Last December I visited Austria and didn't have the documents. I show a photo of it and they get confirmed that with their system and no questions asked.
Even if I wouldn't agree more in tackling extremism and irregular migration, I am very sceptical of the validity of this move, especially as EU citizens would be hit too. I thought the Germans were very smart, but no, I was wrong.
Es gab in letzter Zeit zu viele Tote. Die Politik musste handeln, sonst wäre die Regierungspartei unter 5% gerutscht. Die haben nur Angst um ihre lukrativen Posten. Die Bevölkerung ist denen schon lange egal.
Helping displaced people by providing temporary shelter is one thing, but giving random people that showed up at the border citizenship is quite another IMO.
This whole European open border thing is a weird concept for me. When they came up with this it never occurred to them that people were going to milk the system? It wasn't the Europeans to be fearful of but other people that would take see ways to take advantage of the system.
The Schengen is not the problem. Asylum laws worldwide should be revised because of people who use it with ill intent.
They should have thought of it when the sat in the Berlin West African conference
Too late, the Trojan army is already well established within your borders.
this is too little too late germany is starting to fall already
"Wir zu früh alt, zu spät klug erhalten!"
It is a good and welcome development, only a country with careless behavior doesn't conduct checks in its borders.
The border exists already, it's the EU border.
For the last 3 years I traveled to Germany 4 times checking all there
Spate Aber gut!
I don’t understand if you have all papers still free zone to move or I am wrong ?
simple the EU countries should just impose any german citizens wanting to go to other eu countries
I was having conversation with a lady asylum seeker and on asking what problem she had in her home country she answerd nothing and adding on it she mocked that who more lies to german govt will get more. Since then i am speechless as we are paying high taxes to sustain normal life. Can one tell me how to report such people ????
AFD did a good job, the governing coalition is so scared that they make a rational border policy.
“Papers, please”.
Exactly. This is a nightmare
I think the EU should close borders, reevaluate things, clean up and then if you still want and CAN. Open them with lots of caution. What was wrong with keeping them in Rawanda anyway? Why jeopardise your own people for someone else?
Instead of doing this Olaf should do something about the €8 döners
Been recently crossing the Poland-Germany border, and what happens in reality is they're making all the vehicles move into a single lane and slow down to 20km/h. So that they're looking through the windows of every passing car at the skin color of their passengers. This way the pull over and perform document checks only within the specific spectrum range. DW journalist was too shy to tell the truth.
Random checks indeed. Shameful.
Shocking. Europeans are white. Shocking indeed
I fully support these checks, security is not a joke and should not be undermined. I hope all countries in the EU and Switzerland increase and maintain these checks. It brings no harm, just increased security for us all in Europe. I have a spanish passport and I live in Switzerland.
This is just symbol politics. You think people trying to enter the country will be impressed by a passport check..? They'll hide in trucks and vans, or find alternative routes into the country. So you'll need to search all trucks, vans, caravans, etc. etc., and patrol the borders too. I'm willing to bet there's no budget for that. Plus, everything will become much more expensive because of the endless queues. And I'm not even talking about the general annoyance, decrease in tourism, etc.
In 2018 the bus I was traveling on from Innsbruck to Munich was checked and three people were asked to get off. These three people only got out after half an hour when the police arrived with gloves and truncheons...
Hmm... should we go with "Ha-Ha"... or "Told you so" ?
What's funny is in the US people who talked about the borders were considered right wing racist. So the governor of Texas decided to send immigrants by the thousands, to liberal cities and expensive places like New England. Now, all are concerned about illegal immigration, LOL!
As a Dutch/German I dont see the issue here! We can still travel quite freely to and from germany. You just can be stopped and checked out that takes like 5 to 10 minutes of your time and than go your marry way.
...well Germany let many millions immigrants concisely in...hello?
Just a suggestion not a criticism but people smuggling is called human trafficking in English.
Now kick out all the ones who got through
These checks are about to be throughout the EU expect them getting off your plane on holiday destinations not just Germany ! They don’t want over stayers ! 90 days then goodbye ! Break the rules and you may never get back into any EU country !
What is wrong for checking passports. It makes total sense. Everywhere in europe should be doing this.
It's that they invited the immigrants and now want to block them to other countries
blatant violation of the schengen agreement. if jermanny weren't a voluntary signatory: nothing wrong
why not check it in super markets then? if you want to find illegals, everyone has to eat right? what is wrong with that according to your logic?
@@cl8804 Not if border security supercedes EU law. A country being able to control its own borders in the interest of security seems like it would be above the Schengen Agreement.
@@UlpianHeritor First off the Schengen Agreement isnt EU law, its international law, and it explicitly governs border controls between signatories, but youre clearly not aware of that
I remember, Poland was “teaching” other countries especially Germany how they deny any immigration. Now Germany is doing what Poland did before. And Poland criticize it.
Germany has all the rights to protect its borders by having strict border checks to avoid illegal migration, hope this stays forever.
I definitely don’t. This is the worse thing that can happen to Europe and a significant degradation of quality of life.
It goes against Schengen
Frankly, other Schengen countries should do the same...Don't complain about Germany supporting its citizens security, do something yourself for your own. I'm not anti-immigration, but I also don't find a problem with knowing who is coming and going. A country is a home. Guests and roommates can always be welcome, especially if they respect you and your home, but you have every right to know who they are and the nature of their intentions.
If a guy with a blunt cooking utensil is a "threat to national internal security" you really need to re-evaluate the skills of your military, police and intelligence agencies.
Europe is conquered and will be a useful servant to the Caliphate.
The safety of Germany change. Agreed 💯 por cent.
35k entered Spain since January and similar numbers in Italy and Greece. But they can't close their borders because the EU does not allow it.
Uhmmm. Nope. In IT from gen to may '24 we *have been forced* to welcome about 100'000 of those... people.

Ridiculous. If they say they want asylum they have to be let in😂 then what is the point of this "control". A joke
Germany exposed chicks on all borders😂
its made on pourpose they will start to collect FINGERPRINTS now: Yes, non-EU citizens will need to provide their fingerprints to enter Germany starting in November 2024 as part of the new EU Entry/Exit System (EES). The EES will apply to all non-EU citizens traveling to the Schengen area, which includes Germany, as well as four non-EU countries in the Schengen area.
I went to Germany from the Netherlands today, specifically Enschede to Munster, and did not see any checks.
@summerwest3099 I have seen check on train in the past. They do not interfere with the schedule. They simply board the train and check while the train is between stops. So either way you should not have any delays on trains outside normal issues.
Germany already let 3 Million in… The border isn’t the issue.
because of skin color
@summerwest3099 they won't stop the train
I also rode a train from amersfoort to hannover. The train announced we had to stop for a while and are told to prepare passes and ids in bad bentheim but it was just a 10 minute stop, no officers were actually going in and checking the documents. At least thats what happened yesterday 17. September
Geert Wilders and the Dutch Minister of Asylum Marianne Faber said on Dutch television that they are happy with the German border controls. Wilders said that we should have done this earlier too, but were always thwarted by the left-wing parties. According to the left-wing parties, the EU would never allow this, well Wilders says it can, look at Germany. The Dutch Minister of Asylum has also offered Germany to send the Dutch Royal Gendarmerie to the border for cooperation.
Finaly: R.I.P Schengen. 🇳🇱💪
Germany ❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍
EU seems getting seperated
Blame brexit
not really, only germain lost to nut crazy conservatives. Lets pray to god we dont follow suite.
Unfortunately that's what's happening if we don't work together but against each other. That's also why the EU can't be as strong as the US or China for example. Not because of our finances but simply because we're unable to coordinate our countries and to speak with one voice.
EU is adapting to external pressures in ways that weren't allowed for in its initial formation.
There will be some conflicts, but despite the most fervent wishes of Russia, it will settle out. They still have tremendous advantage to gain from their cooperation and the sentiment across Europe is pretty much on the same page.
People think the EU is this big thing its not really. The countries are still very separate entities...sorry if that hurts you!
I'm a German and a Dutchie and I react thusly; "Germany, you make me sad."
