While CDU/CSU, AfD, and BSW advocate for a restrictive approach with strengthened border controls and deportations, SPD, Greens, FDP, and Left Party focus on greater humanity, European solutions, and, in some cases, the promotion of labor migration. The Left Party explicitly opposes deportations. read more
