Hamburg: Children Face Deportation
In my eyes, an absolute scandal, but one that doesn't surprise me. Unfortunately, it's not the first time something like this has happened in Hamburg, and unfortunately not only since Schill. Even before that, Jutta's brother had problems bringing his wife's children to Germany - ultimately, only the daughter from his first marriage could be brought to Germany, while the city of Hamburg delayed the son's entry until he was no longer allowed to enter due to his age. Can anyone imagine what it means for a mother to have to sacrifice one child in order to bring another child to her? Mind you, the woman is married to Jutta's brother, and an apartment is already available.
In my eyes, the behavior of the immigration authority - especially towards children - is completely unacceptable. There is certainly no sign of the free spirit of a free port city there.
