49!
Germany has been controlling (some of) its border crossings for 2 months now, and has managed to find 49 people in that time on the border from Luxembourg https://infos.rtl.lu/actu/luxembourg/a/2249562.html
That’s FEWER THAN 1 A DAY! For ridiculous cost employing police to do these controls! 🤯
Regardless of what you think of the ethics here this is an insane waste of money
Whether it’s a waste of money or not can only be answered when looking at the goals they spend the money for.
That money wasn’t spent on security, but into a political message. And to those who wanted it, that was highly successful.

@Saupreiss @jon This is exactly it (and this has really always been the reason, border checks have never been effective)
