Wladimir Kaminer: Ein Vorschlag zur Güte - wirres, konsequent alles falsch describes the situation for people entering the country. Jutta's brother had some experience with this topic (entering Germany, applying for visas, etc.) a few years ago in Hamburg. His wife (Thai) brought two children into the marriage. They have a third child together. Of the two children from the first marriage, she could only bring the younger girl to Germany - she had to give up the boy (under 16 at the time of the application!) to at least have her daughter in Germany. Can anyone imagine what this means for a mother?
Sorry, but all the politicians who scream about how dangerous and bad all the people who apply for visas are should be thrown out of the country and have their German passports taken away. And then they should try to get back into the country through our great embassies and consulates ...
