Union and SPD negotiate a limitation of migration. However, the head of the BAMF is concerned with the wrong points in the debate. He calls for more fundamental reforms and an end to "old thinking schemes".

Instead, Germany should "take up people in a considerable amount" according to humanitarian considerations, demands Sommer. Keeping to existing law is wrong.

A new asylum system could manage migration sustainably. BAMF CEO Sommer calls for a rethink and proposes a radical migration turnaround.

Hans-Eckhard Sommer, head of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees, advocates the abolition of individual asylum rights and calls for a new model.
