Breaking News: Merz Takes Over Germany

Merz Takes Over Germany: Is His 2025 Immigration Crackdown Trump’s Border Play All Over Again?

By JV Charles | May 7, 2025 | jvpolitical.com

Hey, Germany’s Got a New Boss!

Alright, let’s talk about what’s going down in Germany. As of yesterday, May 6, 2025, Friedrich Merz is the new Chancellor, and he’s already making waves. Today, he’s off to Paris and Warsaw to chat with big shots like Macron, but what’s really got people talking is his tough new immigration rules that kicked in yesterday. It’s got me thinking—this feels a lot like the kind of border security stuff President Trump’s been doing. Here at jvpolitical.com, I’m gonna break down what Merz is up to, how it lines up with Trump’s wins, and what it means for Germany with all its economic drama. Let’s get into it!

What’s Merz Doing About Immigration?

Merz, who’s running the show with the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), made a big promise during his campaign: Germany’s borders are getting locked down. And he’s not messing around. His new chief of staff, Thorsten Frei, came out on May 5 saying that starting yesterday, they’re cranking up identity checks at the borders and turning away anyone without papers trying to claim asylum. It’s a done deal—Germany’s not playing nice anymore.
This all comes after some really bad stuff, like a knife attack in Aschaffenburg back in January that killed a little two-year-old boy. Merz has been pushing this five-point plan since January, and it’s not just about borders—he wants to start deporting people to places like Afghanistan and Syria, which Germany hasn’t done in forever. Doesn’t that sound like something Trump would do? I mean, Trump’s been all about keeping the U.S. border tight, and Merz seems to be following that same vibe.

Trump’s Border Wins: Is Merz Taking Notes?

Trump’s been super tough on the U.S. border, and in 2025, he’s been killing it. He’s got these new rules that have cut illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border by like 40% since January. Plus, he’s using tariffs—like 25% on steel and aluminum—to make other countries play ball on migration. And don’t forget his “Remain in Mexico” thing, where asylum seekers have to wait outside the U.S. while their cases get sorted. It’s worked for us America First folks, keeping our jobs safe and sending a loud message: you don’t just walk into America.
Merz is giving off the same energy. He’s saying Germany’s borders are gonna be controlled “permanently,” and they’re not letting in anyone who’s illegal. It’s like Trump’s playbook, just in Europe. Merz is even pushing back on the EU, kinda like how Trump doesn’t care what the globalists think. Poland’s already mad about Germany’s border checks, saying it messes with EU rules, but Merz doesn’t seem to care. I saw this post on X from @PatriotDE that said, “Merz is channeling Trump, finally a leader who gets it! #GermanyFirst.” People are noticing the similarities, and they’re pumped.

Germany’s Economy Is a Mess—Does Immigration Fix It?

Germany’s been having a rough time lately—they’ve been in a recession for two years straight. Their big industries, like manufacturing, used to be 40% of the economy back in 1990, but now it’s down to 27%. People were fed up with the last guy, Olaf Scholz—his party was polling at a pathetic 15%. Merz and the CDU came in strong, winning the election on February 23 with 30% of the vote. But here’s the thing: Germany’s got a worker shortage. I read somewhere that 49% of refugees since 2013 got steady jobs within five years, but businesses are still begging for skilled people.
Merz’s tough border rules might help calm folks down—especially after attacks like the one in Aschaffenburg—but it could tick off the business crowd who need workers. Trump got some of the same pushback in the U.S., but his rules ended up dropping unemployment to 3.8% by last month. Merz might be thinking he can pull off the same thing: lock the borders, make people feel safe, and figure out the economy later.

It’s Not All Smooth Sailing for Merz

Merz has got some big challenges ahead. The EU’s got this thing called the Schengen zone, where people can move around without visas, and turning away asylum seekers at the border might break some rules. Some expert named Winfried Kluth said, “If someone asks for asylum, you can’t just send them away, even if they don’t have papers.” Poland’s leader, Donald Tusk, is already calling Germany’s border checks anti-European. Merz isn’t backing down—he’s saying the EU’s asylum rules are “dysfunctional” and Germany should do its own thing. That’s such a Trump move, putting your country first no matter what.
Then there’s this far-right group in Germany, the AfD, who’re polling at 20% and loving Merz’s border stuff. But Merz says he won’t work with them. Problem is, he was okay with taking their votes back in January, and that got a lot of people—like Angela Merkel—really upset. If he’s not careful, he might accidentally make the AfD look normal, and that’s a slippery slope in Germany. Trump dealt with some of that populist stuff in the U.S., but Merz has gotta be extra careful.

Why We Should Be Cheering for Merz

Here at jvpolitical.com, we’re all about America First, and I think Merz’s border crackdown is something we can get behind. It shows Trump’s ideas—strong borders, putting your country first, keeping the economy safe—are spreading around the world. Merz could make Germany a better partner for the U.S., especially since he’s all for NATO and wants to hit that 2% defense spending goal Trump’s always talking about. A Germany that’s got its borders under control is a Germany that can focus on being strong and stable, just like we want here in the States. If Merz makes this work, it’ll show just how much Trump’s changing things globally.

So, What’s Next for Germany?

Merz’s 2025 immigration crackdown is a big swing, and it’s either gonna be a home run like Trump’s border wins or a mess with the EU breathing down his neck. With Germany’s economy in the dumps, Merz has got a lot riding on this. Let’s keep the convo going on X—hit me up with #MerzChancellor and #GermanyFirst.
