From Breitbart: Chancellor Friedrich Merz declared Germany will restart deporting migrants back to Syria following days of confusion and mixed messaging from his government in Berlin.
“The civil war in Syria is over. There are now absolutely no grounds for asylum in Germany, and therefore we can begin deportations,” Chancellor Merz said on Monday evening, according to Die Welt.
The longstanding open borders policy pushed by the Berlin establishment, particularly under the government of former Chancellor Angela Merkel, which opened the gates of Europe to mass migration in 2015, has incentivised nearly a million Syrians to migrate to Germany.
Their presence in the country has become increasingly controversial in the wake of terror attacks committed by supposed asylum seekers from Syria, such as the mass stabbing at a “diversity festival” in Solingen last year that left three dead and six injured.
The German government has revealed shocking crime statistics, saying Syrian migrants are over five times as likely to be suspects in crimes as people born in Germany, with a rate of 10,587 suspects per 100,000 people for Syrian nationals compared to 1,879 for German nationals, Breitbart wrote.
In 2015, Germany under Merkel adopted an open-borders policy for migrants from Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq. When skeptics said the newcomers were unlikely to integrate, she responded with the slogan “We can do it!”

At least some Syrians appear ready to go home and try to rebuild their country. A post by Safwat Raslan reads:
“Twelve years ago, I was a refugee fleeing oppression in Syria. Germany opened its doors and hearts to me, welcoming me and thousands of Syrians with warmth and dignity.
“Today, I stand again on Syrian soil, no longer as a refugee, but as the Director General of the Syrian Development Fund @SYDF_Syria working to rebuild my homeland and restore hope to our people.
“It was a deeply moving moment to welcome the German Foreign Minister Mr. Johann Wadephul @AussenMinDE and Ambassador Mr. Clemens Hach @GERonSyria at the heart of a model housing project for returning displaced families, a symbol of the journey from exile to renewal.
“Syria opens its doors to all friends from Germany and the world, to join us in building a new, hopeful Syria.”
