The number of expulsions in Germany has increased as more and more people arrive from the world's conflict zones, especially from Syria and Iraq.
The number of those deported from the country reached a total of 10,884, the highest rate over the last eight years. At the same time, Germany is expecting at least 300,000 new asylum applications in 2015, according to the German “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung“.
As the influx of refugees to the EU countries grows, European governments have become wary of newcomers and have tightened their migration policies. German people view immigration as a major problem as the country is gradually unable to provide refugees with temporary housing facilities. The newcomers have also caused negative reactions among German society and contributed to the increase of the nationalist and anti-Islam sentiment.
A survey showed that about 61% of Germans are against immigration from abroad. Such rejection is also apparent in other European countries such as Italy (75%), Latvia (79%) or Slovakia (74%), “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” reported.
