German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, is calling for the accelerated deportations of foreign nationals who are denied asylum. The call is a change of tone for Merkel who, in recent years, has called on the European Union to quickly resettle migrants from outside the region. As a result of her open-borders policies, her approval ratings have declined due to increasing economic and security concerns.
Though Merkel refused to back down on her open immigration policy even after Germany suffered four terrorist attacks in July, she now claims that Germany needs to focus on deporting those who have been denied asylum.
"The most important thing in the coming months is repatriation, repatriation and once more, repatriation," Merkel told the German parliament. Last year, she opened Germany's borders and refused to limit the number of refugees Germany would take in.
