Thank you for that response.
It leads me to the next question. I had a chance to visit the Netherlands and meet with officials there. One of the interesting aspects of how they determine how people can actually stay in the Netherlands is that people have to have clear and concise documentation with them.
They indicated that in the Netherlands, any time people come into the country on a specific airline and no longer have their identification or their passports because they've either eaten them or have thrown them out, and they claim refugee status, those individuals aren't detained anywhere other than right at the airport itself. Once their identification is determined, if they do not qualify to apply for refugee status in the Netherlands, they're put on that same airline and flown back to their country of origin.
Do you have a similar process in Germany?
