At the Border: Failed Policies, Excessive Demands, Refugee Misery – How a Federal Police Officer Experiences the Reality at our Borders

As a federal police officer, he risked his health and life for the security of society, faced countless criminals and too many unsolvable moral conflicts. Every day he had to deal with people who entered Germany without permission. No real protection for those in need of it, no effective way of dealing with illegal immigrants, distorted reporting in the press and a striking discrepancy between political aspirations and police reality: the consequences of a lack of direction and serious mistakes in Germany's migration and integration policy determined his daily routine. Until it became too much. Jan Solwyn left the police after 15 years, disillusioned by politics. Now he gives an unflinchingly honest account.
