EU plans to deport more migrants, create 'return hubs'
The European Union will create a common set of procedures for migrant deportations. It has also proposed to create "return hubs" as part of a controversial plan to deport rejected asylum seekers to third countries.
'return hubs'
Yet another euphemism for concentration camps dropped
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.
Massively spend on weapons
Support a genocide
Create concentration camps
Boy I wonder what time it is
EU pandering to the far-right once again.
There is no left in Europe
"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.
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.
