Critics call the plan poorly crafted, risking refugee rights, while Germany’s asylum applications have plummeted from 330K in 2023 to 113K in 2024, with projections below 90K this year. Globally, 117 million displaced people—mostly due to war and climate disasters—face dire conditions, yet only a fraction reach Europe or North America. Turkey, Iran, and Sudan see fewer refugees, and many Ukrainians have returned home despite ongoing conflict. Syria’s collapse—ruined infrastructure, economic ruin, and no safety for minorities—makes mass returns impossible. Meanwhile, Germany’s own humanitarian aid budgets are shrinking, forcing a tough choice between global responsibility and domestic priorities.
