Dobrindt: Well-integrated Syrians have a prospect of staying in Germany - Germany’s Controversial Plan to Deport Syrian Refugees Sparks Internal Clash

Syrians who temporarily visit Syria may lose their right to stay in Germany. Dobrindt has assured that not all Syrians will be affected. Despite this, disputes have arisen within Germany’s conservative Union bloc over potential deportations.
