And than there is a Syrian without a passport following our requirements trying to board a flight to Germany.....
Not to Germany, via Germany.

Given that the same administration that let it gazillions of badly documented Syrians upholds rules that serve no purpose or security enhancement is ... welll hypocritical would be a euphemism.
