Berlin (dpa) – Germany has dramatically stepped up the number of
deportations this year as the nation struggles to come to grips with
a refugee crisis.
By the end of November, 18,363 people had been deported compared with
10,994 for the whole of 2014, according to Ministry of Interior
information in the hands of dpa.
The southern state of Bavaria, which has been at the frontline of the
refugee crisis, alone returned 3,643 to their homelands between
January and the end of November. This was three times the 1,007
people deported by the state in 2014.
Deportations from the state of Hesse in central Germany also tripled
this year to 2,306, while those returned to their country of origin
from Baden-Wuerttemberg doubled to 2,140, according to the
information provided by the ministry.
Germany, a popular destination for refugees seeking a better life in
Europe, expects applications for asylum to top 1 million this year.
