   Germany has introduced border checks along all nine borders to other EU countries. To understand how extreme these measures are perceived in an EU context, this is like if New York started treating all citizens of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Vermont with suspicion and demanding to see papers for them to enter New York.

   The populist government of Denmark tried this for years, leading to endless lines of cars at the border.

     @Szymon Nowicki @Randahl Fink there are nowhere near enough policeforces in germany to seriously control all border crossings at major routes. and controlling all border regions is totally impossible. germany has about 4000 km of borders. to control that you'd need to imitate the danes and build a wall along all these borders.
     
     the actual border checks now introduced will be "mobile" and "sporadic", whatever that means ...
