BERLIN, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 10: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (L) looks on as Finance Minister Christian Lindner speaks during debates over the 2025 federal budget at the Bundestag on September 10, 2024 in Berlin, Germany. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser announced yesterday that Germany will widen its police monitoring to all of its border crossings in an attempt to stop irregular immigration. Immigrants arriving to seek asylum will be turned away with the the directive to seek asylum in the country from which they are crossing. Germany's leading political parties are negotiating over new legislation to stem irregular immigration following a terror attack by a Syrian man in the town of Solingen recently that left three people dead.
