Germany’s new coalition government is considering stricter migration policies, including designating Morocco, Algeria, and India as “safe countries of origin,” according to a leaked internal document reported by German media.
The alliance comprising the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the Christian Social Union (CSU), and the Social Democratic Party (SPD) is focusing on comprehensive actions aimed at reinforcing immigration policies. One of their suggestions involves increasing the authority granted to federal law enforcement agencies so they can more effectively apprehend and expel immigrants.
Upon approval, this classification would streamline the deportation process for asylum seekers from Morocco and other specified nations by assuming that their claims are not likely to fulfill the necessary protective standards. Individuals subject to deportation would find limited opportunities to contest their expulsion within Germany’s legal system.
The proposed plan additionally recommends eliminating the legal obligation for offering judicial support to those opposing deportation orders. Furthermore, federal law enforcement might obtain expanded power to hold migrants briefly pending their deportation.
Even though talks continue, disagreements persist among coalition members, notably regarding family reunification rules and the “Right to Remain” legislation. This law enables specific refused asylum applicants to stay in Germany following five years of lawful residency. The CDU disapproves of this policy, whereas the SPD pushes for greater compassionate safeguards.
The discussion also encompasses social welfare issues, where the SPD advocates for maintaining economic aid for migrants who may face expulsion, whereas the CDU and CSU advocate for more stringent rules to limit public support.
Previously, the CDU’s parliamentary group advocated for classifying Morocco as a safe country, contending that immigrants from this North African nation do not encounter persecution or insufficient governmental safeguards. It is anticipated that the alliance will conclude crucial immigration policy choices over the next few weeks.

Migrants will continue to be housed in asylum hotels and other temporary accommodation for years to come, the Treasury has admitted.
Prior to gaining control in last July’s
general election
, The Labour party promised to stop using hotels for asylum seekers.
However, an ongoing examination of government expenditures has recognized that “the demand for temporary housing facilities is expected to persist in the upcoming years.”
A
Treasury document
disclosed details about a research initiative exploring methods to enhance the acquisition of temporary housing by government agencies and municipal authorities.
It is being carried out by officials from the chancellor’s office.
Rachel Reeves
‘new Department for Cost Efficiency, along with the
Home Office
and other Whitehall departments.
The report highlighted that the Home Office allocated £2.3 billion for hotel expenses as part of asylum support during the period from 2022 to 2023.
It cited ‘pressure on housing supplies’ and ‘risks posed by global instability’ as factors contributing to the ongoing necessity of accommodating asylum seekers in hotels.
Labour is facing renewed examination as the count of immigrants entering the UK via the Channel reached an unprecedented high during the initial quarter of the year.
In his attempts to decrease the number of border crossings, it has come to light how Prime Minister Sir Michael is
Keir Starmer
might think about relocating unsuccessful asylum applicants to overseas ‘repatriation centers’ located in the Balkan region.
According to recent data from the Home Office, a total of 241 individuals traveled across the Channel using four vessels on Saturday.
Based on an examination of government statistics, this raised the cumulative total for the year up to March 22 to 5,512.
This figure stands at 4,306 as of the same date in 2024 and was 3,683 in 2023; meanwhile, by March 22, 2022, the number reached 3,836.
So far this year, the peak daily total was recorded on March 2 when 592 individuals arrived via 11 boats crossing the Channel.
The Treasury report detailed an examination of government expenditures related to temporary housing, encompassing accommodations provided for asylum seekers as well.
The data underscored a finding from a report issued previously by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), which revealed that the cost per asylum seeker surged by 141% between 2019-20 and 2023-24, rising dramatically from £17,000 to £41,000.
The report also noted that ‘private companies providing temporary housing have seen unprecedented earnings over the past few years, which has resulted in allegations of exploiting the market.’
‘Evidence suggests that certain types of temporary housing can negatively affect both children and their families.’
The Treasury determined that there was a strong financial justification for enhancing the acquisition of temporary housing solutions throughout central and local governments.
An official from the government alleged that companies were capitalizing on the small boats crisis for financial gain.
They told
The Times
: ‘Following the Covid pandemic, the last government bolted on hotel supply to the old contracts which were not designed for this purpose, and which have allowed the three major providers to rack up massive profits working within contracts not designed to manage that level of spend.’
The source indicated that over the longer term, the government was exploring ways to transition these contracts into more suitable long-term agreements. These new arrangements would emphasize better management of expenditures and performance.
In the meantime, Downing Street refrained from dismissing the possibility of relocating rejected asylum seekers to the Balkans today.
Recently, it came to light that Home Office officials have debated plans for establishing offshore ‘removal centers.’ These facilities would be used to accommodate asylum seekers whose applications were denied and who have exhausted all appeal options.
The plans include providing funds to the nations hosting individuals who are being transferred out of the UK.
This comes after the European Commission supported the adoption of ‘return hubs’ by countries within the EU.
A government spokesperson stated: “The expense borne by taxpayers for temporary housing has surged dramatically. This occurred following the government’s takeover of an asylum system that was facing unparalleled pressures, with numerous individuals trapped in a processing backlog without having their cases examined.”
We are fully dedicated to ceasing the utilization of hotels. Since entering government, we have promptly restarted the asylum process to start shutting down these accommodations, increased the number of deportations, removed over 19,000 individuals without a legitimate claim to remain in the UK, and formed the Border Security Command to break up the criminal networks fueling this trafficking.
The Value for Money office will collaborate with various departments, local administration, and the business sector to address these issues, fostering a more strategic and coordinated method that ensures greater benefits for taxpayers.
