Ten-year policy shift: German Interior Minister rejects entry of undocumented immigrants.

The newly appointed German Interior Minister, Alexander Dobrindt, issued an order on May 7th local time, refusing entry to undocumented immigrants at the German border, including asylum seekers. Dobrindt announced that he has decided to revoke the directive from 2015 that allowed undocumented immigrants from third countries to enter Germany in order to reduce the number of illegal immigrants, stating that the current number of illegal immigrants in Germany is still too high.
