German authorities are having trouble expelling some 65,000 illegal migrants because they have no papers, the German Interior Ministry recently revealed. Some 65,000 migrants have been denied shelter in Germany, but have been able to stay in the country nonetheless because they have no identification papers, says Germany's Interior Ministry, according to a report by Funke media company. The number of migrants subject to deportation nearly doubled during 2017, as by the end of 2016 this number was roughly 38,000 migrants. Most migrants denied shelter in Germany came from India (5,743), Pakistan (4,943) and Afghanistan (3,915). The interior ministry report underscores that there is almost no contact between German officials and foreign embassies in Germany.
