I realise the problem, but what do you do
How would you try to find out who actually deserves the protection, especially considering the number of safe countries they already travelled through?
makes me far-right, as I was told in another forum.

You definitely don't do something that doesn't work (or makes things worse), just to say you are doing something.

That's not what I meant. If 80-90% don't have any papers and the total numbers continue to be high, you obviously have to find a way to find out where those people really are from, so you need to find some solution. How would you try to find out if you don't want to introduce real border controls like in Denmark or Sweden? How do other countries handle this?

Hire people who are familiar with the relevant linguistic differences?

Same over there?

Sweden tried, it backfired big time.
OK, our very naïve state hired companies who said they were up to it, and then things got really bad... As in, it turned out that the people in question weren't experts, they mostly knew the basics but couldn't pick out a country divide that should have been a given (North Korea vs South Korea) or in some instances couldn't hear the difference between Amharic and Tigrinya...

Then why is it so important to identify where people come from in the first place? What do you do with that information?
