It's nuts. The fact the Polizei enforced some semblance of the stupid rail border checks for all of about a week before it went back to 'random checks, perhaps slightly more frequent than before', and now 'basically back to where we were before, just needlessly lengthened journeys' speaks volumes.

the parties of "economic reason" : Active border enforcement around 10 million €/Month. Economic impact up to €10 billion in relation to GDP.

Maybe Dobrindt got the job to demonstrate the impossibility of border control? Unless you go the Trump route using fear and violence?
