BERLIN (Sputnik) — Under the proposal, migrants from Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco would have less chance of getting asylum and would be deported from Germany on a priority basis, Der Tagesspiegel newspaper said.
According to the media outlet, Germany's authorities registered almost 26,000 refugees from Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania and Libya in 2015, while only some 0.7 percent of them were granted asylum in the country.
Germany has become a key destination for the migrants fleeing war and poverty since the start of 2015. The country’s Interior Ministry estimates that Germany received around 1.1 million registered migrants last year alone, while about 500,000 undocumented migrants are currently staying in the country.
