German Chancellor Candidate Promises to Close Borders to Illegal Immigrants

German Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz has pledged to tighten migration policies and close borders to illegal immigrants. This announcement comes in the wake of a horrific stabbing incident in Bavaria, where an Afghan migrant stabbed a man and a two-year-old child.

If Merz wins the elections (his chances are significantly high), he plans to issue a corresponding order to the Ministry of the Interior on his first day in office. Entry into the country will only be permitted for those who meet the legal border crossing requirements and possess the necessary documentation.
