German government plans to allow asylum-seekers to work sooner and punish smugglers harder
Associated PressBERLIN — The German government has approved legislation that would allow asylum-seekers to start working sooner and a plan to stiffen punishment for people who smuggle migrants. Shelters for migrants and refugees have been filling up across Germany in recent months and Scholz, who faces enormous pressure on migration from the opposition and elsewhere, has said that “too many are coming.” The country also has seen more than 1 million Ukrainians arrive since the start of Russia’s war in their homeland. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said that, under the government’s plan, asylum-seekers will be allowed to start working after three to six months in Germany, down from nine months at present. Andrea Lindholz said that is desirable for “people with clear prospects of staying” but complained that the plan also would ease access to work for people who have no right to stay or where it isn’t yet clear whether they will be allowed to stay.
