What is it now? Are they deported because they’re illegal or because the are “convicted of heinous crimes (drug trafficking and rape)”, as you wrote before?
And if they’re “only illegal”: how can they not be qualified for an asylum case, if their country tortures and murders political opponents?
Edit: and if they’re criminals, but are deported because they’re illegal: where’s the justice in that? The law states 6 months to 5 years minimum for different acts of rape, for example. So they get a free pass now, because they’re of another nationality? Society deems that the proper punishment for rape, apparently, so why are they not punished accordingly, then? And our juidical system thinks of people who served their sentence as redeemed, so after their sentence they could qualify for asylum again, as maybe Afghanistan is still unsafe then, but they’re redeemed?!
It’s not complicated:
Foreign national enters the country illegally to seek asylum (which is fine) -> commits a serious crime -> their asylum case is no longer valid -> they no longer have legal status to remain the country -> deported
They don’t. They almost carry out their sentence in Germany first and the get deported right after. This is not a get out jail free card. This is a you’re leaving the country after you finish your sentence in jail card.
