Why Bother? German Left Says No Point Deporting Afghan Criminals, As They'll Just Come Back | |
2025-07-21 | |
![]() Green party politician Anton Hofreiter — the party of so-called ‘watermelons’ because they are green on the outside but hard-left Marxist reds below the surface — decried the first German deportation flight to Afghanistan of the year taking off on Friday morning, because he found the exercise pointless. Those aboard would be murdered by the Taliban or would simply break into Germany again, he argued. He said, reports national broadsheet Die Welt: “Under certain circumstances, some of them might be back here more quickly to commit further crimes in Europe than if they had remained in prison”. It would be safer to keep them in prison indefinitely on the German taxpayer’s dime, he said, while also criticising the government for having recently toughened border checks, arguing it is better to talk rather than throw up walls. Hofreiter’s interjection came as the first deportation flight to Afghanistan of the year took off from Leipzig to Kabul on Friday morning. There were 81 people aboard, down from the 100 who were meant to fly due to incomplete paperwork, while Afghans are said to have gone to ground recently in a bid to resist being removed. All abroad were described as serious criminals, with convictions including murder, manslaughter, attempted murder, and assault. Others were serious sex criminals, and the flight reportedly contained several convicted drug dealers. One passenger of the deportation flight was convicted for his part in the gang rape of a 14-year-old girl in Germany. Deportees were handed €1,000 ($1,100) cash as they departed Germany. In the past, deportations have been blocked because lawyers argued that sending Afghans to Afghanistan with nothing would harm their human right not to be “impoverished”. The cash would give the passengers a fair start at a new life in their native land, therefore. The flight is the first this year and only the second from Germany to Afghanistan after the Taliban took power following the Joe Biden withdrawal in 2021. Afghanistan is one of the largest origins for non-European migrants in Germany, with over 440,000 known to reside in the country. Earlier this year, the German government published per-capita crime rates for the first time. It found that non-migrant Germans were listed as the suspect in a crime at a rate of 18 per 1,000 head of population. Afghans were four times more likely to be named as the suspect in a crime than Germans — even when excluding migration-related crimes, like being in the country illegally — at a rate of 87 per 1,000.

#5 It's kinda like sending them to prison, then. They'll still be a criminal when they come back. But you're rid of them in the meantime. |

#4 Time to revive the old 'outlaw' classification. That meant that the individual had no protection of the king, or in today's parlance the law. |

#3 /\ European human rights The term is almost laughable. But no humor should be found in centuries of continuous human tragedy. The disaster in Ukraine is a modern-day example. |

#2 It is against European human rights to deport people anywhere they may face harm. A while back they kept a rapist because they said if he were sent home he would be at risk of violence since his country looks poorly on rapists. It sure must feel good, sitting on top of morality like that and looking down on Americans. |
