      I mean, technically, they aren’t concentration camps because as far as I understand those are just places to dump the caught and deported unwanted people. They aren’t being kept there forcefully, no?

        I have no idea if your comment is sarcastic or not, but those aren’t only concentration camps, they are outsourced concentration camps:

        Return hubs are a euphemism for deportation centers that would be set up in non-EU countries.

        The EU plans to deport rejected asylum seekers to these “return hubs” until they can be deported back to their countries of origin.

    People need to keep in mind these are rejected asylum seekers. Their application has been processed and denied. These are not all legitimate refugees, and especially not those with an ongoing asylum application. Normally these rejected asylum seekers would be put in jail pending their deportation but due to the fact that

    • we have more of them than we have free space in our jails,
    • many don’t have valid papers for whatever reason and
    • often come from countries that try to extort the deporting countries for taking back their own citizens

    the temporary detention term (“Abschiebehaft” and “Vorbereitungshaft” in DACH countries) has simply often not been applied. Many of these rejected asylum seekers then end up absconding. It may sound harsh but Denmark has been doing these deportation hubs for many years already and they’re highly effective.

      Duck off you nazi.

      My wife is one of those illegal immigrants. You have no idea how deshumanizing the whole process is. The “whatever reason” why she lost her visa was because the cops were supposed to check her address and couldn’t be bothered. It took 6 months. Meanwhile her visa was rejected. And before you ask, yes, even getting married doesn’t guarantee her to stay.

      Amazing how privileged idiots who probably live 2 hours from their mum have an opinion about immigration, as if we didn’t see all they care about is not having too much brown people around them. Meanwhile people are getting “pushed back” to drown in the mediteranea, the UE is paying charming people like Erdogan or the tunisian president to do their dirty job, all in the name of their barely hidden xenophobia.

      We should exile you out of the UE.

    “Today only around 20% of those who have a return decision leave Europe. This number is by far too low,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.

    Pretty worrying.
