As reported by the newspaper, Merz aims to implement a “radical shift regarding asylum and migration at every German border.”

The resolution comprises five points. Specifically, Merz suggests implementing ongoing surveillance at Germany's borders, to refuse entry to foreigners lacking consent to reside in the nation, to strengthen actions against possibly hazardous individuals and those who have previously offended, and to commence the detention of those required to exit Germany in deportation facilities until their removal. Moreover, Bild reports that a proposal to strengthen asylum laws has been completed.

Merz points out that Germany is "required to focus on national laws," since, in his view, European standards are ineffective. Thus, according to the newspaper, with the implementation of the emergency regime, he aims to bypass EU regulations on German borders. As reported by Bild, the proposal will be voted on this week.
