Germany could in future check asylum claims as migrants arrive at its land borders, the way it already does at airports, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere proposed Wednesday.
He stressed that the cabinet had not yet signed off on the idea, but said his ministry was drafting legislation that would be in line with EU rules.
"We already know this from airport procedures. You can hold someone at an airport, check whether his asylum request is obviously unfounded and send him back," the minister said on Berlin public radio RBB.
