Migrants Overwhelm German Courts With Asylum Lawsuits, as Critics Warn: System Will ‘Collapse’

22

Germany’s judicial system is being flooded with requests from migrants who want asylum — so much so that legal watchers are warning: the system is about to collapse under the weight of all the petitions.

Blame Angela Merkel. She’s the one who’s let in so many migrants and refugees, despite concerns of citizens who say the country can’t handle all the demands.

Angela Merkel’s open-door policy to migrants and refugees has tasked the judicial system.

The chicken’s coming home to roost. Not only is Germany’s culture faced a dramatic shift from the mostly Muslim migrants. But now courts are suffering.

A new report reveals that lawsuits have completely overwhelmed the judicial system.

From TruthRevolt.org:

The legal suits are filed after migrants are granted “subsidiary protection” (a temporary status) by German legal authorities. Their protected status gives them a platform from which to sue and file appeals on their immigration status.

Many of these migrants are seeking what’s known as “subsidiary protection,” meaning they can stay for three years but then have to petition for longer stays.

And the fact they’re returning to court is just adding to the work load.

The Washington Free Beacon has the story:

Those with subsidiary protection status can stay in Germany for up to three years, but do not have the right to reunify with family.

Two-thirds of cases in Berlin’s administrative court are from asylum seekers, as 250,000 appeals are pending across the country Germany.

“This will paralyze us for years,” a judge told Berlin newspaper Der Tagesspiegel concerning the build up of lawsuits.

In 2015, German Chancellor Angela Merkel took an especially liberal line in welcoming refugees. But when the country was shaken by terror attacks, including one on a Christmas market by a Tunisian asylum-seeker, concerns about the German open-door policy led to tighter regulations.

German courts, however, have disagreed with German immigration officials’ judgements the vast majority of the time, finding in favor of 90 percent of Syrians who sue for asylum. Some hail this proportion as a human rights victory.

“The courts are cleaning up the mess,” University of Hamburg law professor Nora Markard said. “The success rate tells us how important judicial review is — and how important it is for people to have legal representation.”

Geneva Convention guidelines define a refugee as someone with “a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.” When Germany’s migration office puts people in subsidiary protection rather than refugee status, it does so based on the belief that they are not facing political oppression in their home country.

The strain on German courts is likely to continue giving the country problems. Robert Seegmüller, chair of the Association of German Administrative Law Judges, said that the volume of asylum cases is bringing the system toward a crisis.

“The situation is dramatic for administrative courts,” Seegmüller told publishing group Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland. “We are now completely stretched to our limits.”

He said that having 250,000 cases pending is unsustainable.

“The administrative court system cannot endure such a figure in the long run,” Seegmüller said. “At some point, everything will collapse.”

They are willing to completely bankrupt Germany. These muzzies will get money by any means necessary.
Based on the fact they are invaders and not citizens the court should immediately throw out any claims made by them! What’s going to happen when Germany is broke and native German citizens can’t pay taxes or work a job?who I s going to pay for the muzzie upkeep? Everything will shut down completely and then the muzzie with really have something to complain about! We all know they feel above us all and will demand money that’s not there, very few of them are willing g to work they just want to rape, rob, pillage and murder and on the downtime file frivolous lawsuits.
Germany is finished !!!

A year ago, I was up in arms over Germany’s complete disdain for reason and justice. Now, I am near to laughing. Although most modern-day Germans are most guilty of simply being arrogant Leftist fools, their fatherland has been the home of most every error that ever shook the West – from Luther, to Marx, to Nietzche, to ‘multi-culturalism’. Well, for your many crimes against truth and beauty, may your highly favored Islamicwurst come to roost in your rotting gut and give you the all the existential heartburn your lousy anti-culture deserves.

Germany turns to be the most ignorance country on earth. In WW2 they murdered 6M Jews that was the elite of the German society. After WW2 the birth rate was very low so they let millions of Turkish immigrants to work at their factories. Now, it is not enough and they accept 2M Arabs (a part of them are ISIS terrorists) to fill their low birth rate. Instead to bring children they bring Muslims.
They eliminate the Jews and exchange them with Arabic/Muslims that like to change the culture from Christianity to Islam. Bravo.
A history lesson. The Roman Empire started to fall down when they recruit the Barbarian to their army instead of their own people. Alaric, the Barbarian commander, who conquered Rome, was an officer in the Roman Army.
The fall of Germany is written on the wall.

Well done, fuhrer merkel! See what your idiotic policies have left you with? You opened the door to a festering sore and Germany has caught the earliest symptoms of a virulent disease: a disease which is running unchecked through Europe, and of course the EU can’t avoid being blamed either, as they’re just as guilty as you. You’ve destroyed countries and economies with no thought for the problems you’ve caused or the lives that have been lost, innocent people who have been raped and murdered and excused by brainless, incompetent judges and greedy lawyers out to make money uncontrolled by conscience, and all in the name of what you call multiculturalism.
You opened the pits of hell and released every devil lurking there. No matter how you spin it, that is all islam is. There are no longer devils left in hell: they’ve infested our poor world and you, madam, you and the EU are to blame.

IT IS NOT A MIGRATION! Get it though your dense pate! It’s an INVASION OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS!

You have one chance at redemption and one chance only. Begin deporting these creatures back to the sh*t holes they came from and make Europe a clean place once again. Otherwise, madam, you are going to go down in history as the stupidest person in creation: the leader who destroyed Germany and along with the cretins in the EU, helped destroy Europe. Try reading the history of the virus you’ve let loose.
As ye sow, so shall ye reap, you stupid woman!

The enemies of western civilization are using it’s own laws against them. This is nothing new. Islam has been using this art of war for a thousand years. It was the way of their prophet muhammad.

Look, these people are NOT refugees. Germany was not the first safe country they landed in. Therefore they are all illegals, every one of them. Germany has no obligation to take them in.

Nor have countries like the UK or the Visigrad Four any reason to help clean up what is essentially a German mess.

The problem was created by Merkel and other European politicians who should face charges of treason for not upholding the rule of law , and whose punishment should be exemplary , with at least 10 years in prison and confiscation of their wealth and nationality

That is, of course, the point and the plan, to collapse the EU, and it is a plan that comes from the globalist cartel that put together the EU as a prototype for its NWO. It is using Islam to do its dirty work and will, then, subjugate it under its jack boot as well.
