Mr Kohl, the German Chancellor, reiterated his position that immigrants abusing their status as "guests" in Germany should be deported. He was speaking at an election strategy meeting organised by his partner in government the Christian Democrats (CSU) in Bavaria. The authorities in Munich have already ordered a 13-year old Turkish youth, Mehmet, and his parents to leave the country voluntarily or face forced expulsion; his father has been working in Germany for 30 years - the parents are appealing against the deportation order. Meanwhile the Bavarian government has proposed an amendment to the Aliens Law in the Bundesrat to introduce the policy of expelling the parents of "delinquents" as a national policy.
