Germany has reintroduced border controls with five Western European countries, including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Denmark, as part of a six-month initiative to combat illegal immigration.

This expansion follows existing checks at other borders and comes amid growing political pressure over recent asylum-seeker-related incidents, including a deadly knife attack in Solingen claimed by ISIS.

Despite the increase in border security, experts like Svenja Niederfranke question the long-term efficacy of such measures, suggesting that they may only catch minor offenders and not significantly impact smuggling networks.
The controls have sparked debate about the impact on European unity and the Schengen Agreement.
