... the German government is tightening immigration law:
According to the plans, spouses should only receive a residence permit from the age of 21 to "protect young foreigners from forced marriages". Residence permits are explicitly prohibited in case of sham marriages. The German government wants to counter abuse "particularly for illegal purposes such as forced prostitution" in this way.
From personal experience, I can say that the interpretation of the authorities is much more concrete. A sham marriage is simply assumed - in an attempt to get rid of the annoying foreigner. Even direct biological children from the marriage are not automatically considered proof of a genuine marriage. But of course, it's not about deporting annoying foreigners, it's only about limiting sham marriages and forced marriages.
The changes in tax law are not about giving those who already have a lot even more, but only about promoting tax honesty. And the Hartz IV changes with the attached impudence towards the unemployed are not about harassing and bullying those who already have nothing, but only about motivating long-term unemployed people.
Of course. And pigs can fly.
