According to the German Border Guard, illegal immigrants and their smugglers are increasingly presenting well-forged EU documents when stopped. This shift underscores a sophisticated underground network that exploits modern transportation, turning high-speed trains and international flights into conduits for unchecked migration.
One wonders how officers used to be able to meaningfully fill their working hours—before there were large numbers of illegal immigrants in the EU. The fight against immigrants who don’t belong in the EU fills the daily lives of officers not only at the external border; it’s no different at inland train stations and airports in Germany for example.
What was once routine patrolling has morphed into a relentless cat-and-mouse game with forgers and fugitives, draining resources and eroding public trust in border security.
The headlines of the latest press releases from the German Border Guard in North Rhine-Westphalia alone show what we would face if we had to do without illegal migration:
“Essen Central Station: Federal Police execute pre-trial detention warrant”
“Federal Police execute arrest warrants as part of border controls”
“Fake documents detected – Federal police arrest man”
“Federal police execute international arrest warrant at Cologne/Bonn Airport – 28-year-old arrested for aggravated robbery”
“Federal police find axe, knife and pepper spray on a man”
“Federal Police execute arrest warrants as part of border controls”
“Suspected of smuggling foreigners – Federal Police arrest Tunisian.”
These are just the cases that have occurred over a few days. “One man” keeps the authorities fully occupied, revealing a pattern of recidivism and audacity that strains law enforcement to its limits.
It’s always worth delving into the details of the cases to gain an impression of the multicultural reality in the country, as in the quite intriguing case of the arrested Tunisian: “On October 18, 2025, federal police arrested a 27-year-old Tunisian man suspected of smuggling an Algerian and a Moroccan from the Netherlands into Germany. The man himself violated an existing entry and residence ban by entering Germany. He was also wanted on an arrest warrant. The three men were traveling without a valid ticket on an ICE train from Cologne Messe/Deutz to the long-distance train station at Frankfurt Airport. The train staff then called the federal police. Since the officers were initially unable to definitively establish the identities of the individuals, they were taken to the police station. There, the federal police determined that none of them had legal residency status in Germany. The Moroccan citizen, like the Tunisian, was also subject to an entry and residence ban. During questioning about his route, the alleged smuggler stated that he intended to bring his two fellow travelers from the Netherlands to Germany. Officials then initiated an investigation on suspicion of, among other things, smuggling foreign nationals and fraudulently obtaining benefits. Since the Regensburg public prosecutor’s office had also issued an arrest warrant for him, officials transferred the 27-year-old to Frankfurt am Main Correctional Facility. He is currently serving the remaining 119 days of his prison sentence there.”
This incident is no anomaly; it’s symptomatic of a system overwhelmed by repeat offenders who flout bans with impunity. Forged documents, weapon possessions, and smuggling operations on public transport highlight not just migration woes but associated crimes that burden taxpayers and endanger citizens.
Echoing concerns across the Atlantic, former U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that migrants entering America come from “insane asylums,” a blunt assessment that resonates when viewing Germany’s own influx of individuals with criminal warrants and banned statuses.
How long do we want to continue to tolerate such conditions? The open-door policies of the EU, once hailed as compassionate, now facilitate a revolving door of illegality. Stricter document verification, enhanced international cooperation, and unyielding enforcement at transport hubs are imperative.
Without decisive action—deportations, border tech upgrades, and policy reversals—we risk EU countries where lawlessness thrives on the rails, and security becomes a relic of the past. It’s time to reclaim control.
