Germany Sees Significant Drop in Unauthorized Border Crossings

Enhanced border controls have led to a marked decrease in illegal entries, as new measures are implemented across all neighboring countries.

In September, Germany recorded 6,921 unauthorized entries, a significant reduction from 21,375 in the same month last year.
The decline in illegal crossings coincides with the introduction of expanded border controls on September 16, covering all neighboring countries.
The number of asylum applications has also decreased by 23% this year, according to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees.
Critics argue that the Schengen Agreement is failing, with calls for stricter national regulations and better resources for border enforcement.
The German Police Union highlights the need for increased staffing and technological upgrades to maintain effective border security.
