(ANSA-AP) - BERLIN - German officials rejected criticism Friday of a draft law that would significantly overhaul the benefits system for migrants and speed up deportations for failed asylum seekers.
Rights groups claim the bill currently being circulated within the German government could result in migrants becoming homeless and destitute.
Interior Ministry spokesman Johannes Dimroth declined to comment on individual measures, saying the bill still had to be finalized, but said the overall thrust of it was to simplify procedures, remove "wrong incentives" for those without a hope of asylum and improve the integration of recognized refugees.
