There are around a million people with a Syrian passport in Germany .

Most of them came from 2015-16 , after Angela Merkel's government decided not to close borders to refugees fleeing Syria 's civil war.

Some right-wingers want to stop granting asylum to people from Syria immediately.

Left-wing and Green politicians have expressed outrage, calling such comments irresponsible, populist and inappropriate.
