Germany’s Parliament passed a motion for stricter migration rules on Wednesday. The nonbinding motion, backed by the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD), calls for permanent border control, rejection of all illegal immigrants, and detention of “those who must leave.” It was passed with 348 votes in favor and 344 votes against.

The motion described the current immigration policies as “clearly dysfunctional” and described measures to implement immediate measures to end illegal immigration. According to the motion, all those who attempt to enter the nation without the proper documentation must not be allowed to, regardless of circumstances. Further, police would be allowed to apply for deportation warrants directly.

The passing of the motion represents a break in the Brandmauer, or firewall, that German political parties have traditionally kept against right-wing parties such as AfD, in order to prevent the advent of right-wing extremism in the country. AfD in particular, espouses extreme anti-immigration and anti-foreigner views, with members being fined for using Nazi slogans.

Right-wing parties in Germany have been increasingly taking anti-immigration stances, with parties calling for a total pause on the entry of refugees. Following a terror attack in Solingen, Chancellor Olaf Schulz stated that the government would be conducting faster deportation of illegal immigrants, in order to combat increasing security concerns.

The motion passed with the support of Afd, Christian Democratic Union (CDU), and Christian Social Union (CSU), has been condemned by left-wing parties and Chancellor Olaf Schulz, who claimed that such measures would violate European law. Following the vote, protestors gathered outside the headquarters of CDU, with the slogan “Firewall over arson”, in support of upholding the firewall, while several opposition party leaders condemned CDU for allying with AfD.

Security authorities in Germany have also expressed doubt over the feasibility of implementing the motion. Given the system’s lack of resources to process and conduct such an operation, it may overwhelm the system.
