It only affects a small group of around one hundred thousand migrants, which German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has in mind to reform the right to stay.

In doing so, she is implementing the coalition agreement that promises all so-called tolerated persons who have been living in Germany for five years and have not committed a crime a “probationary” right to stay.

Duldung means: The application for asylum was rejected, actually deportation should now follow;

however, initially insurmountable reasons speak against this, for example illness or unclear identity.

The obstacle of not being able to bring someone back to their home country because it is not clear what it is has so far been enough to object to a generous right to stay: that should not also be rewarded.

Why is the red-green-yellow coalition doing it anyway?

One of the reasons is certainly the persuasive work of organizations that advocate a general right to stay for everyone who comes to Germany and does not commit a crime.

They are also supported by business, which complains about the ever-increasing shortage of skilled workers.

However, virtually abolishing the toleration means also gradually undermining the right to asylum.

Why go through complex asylum procedures when it's already clear that almost everyone who comes can stay?

Are they really the specialists you are looking for?

Only one thing is certain: the group of those affected will increase.
