How is he supposed to get there without a passport?

  Airport Procedure [Germany] Asylum seekers coming to Germany by air from a country of origin considered safe as well as refugees without passport asking for asylum at the airport are subject to the so-called airport procedure. This special procedure was introduced in 1992 when the fundamental right to asylum in the German constitution was altered. They may not leave the area of the airport and are accomodated in the transit area. Their request for asylum is heard and decided on by the BAMF (Federal Office for Migration and Refugees) in a summary procedure. Only if the request is approved or if the BAMF does not come to a decision within 2 days, will the refugee be allowed to enter Germany and to go through the regular asylum procedure. If, however, the request is refused as 'evidently baseless', the refugee may be deported without further judicial review. His/her only way then to avert this is a claim for [Eilrechtsschutz] which, however, is granted most scarcely. Many refugees in the transit area are awaiting their deportation for weeks. http://www.proasyl.de/en/topics/basics/asylum-from-a-to-z/ http://www.proasyl.de/en/topics/basics/asylum-from-a-to-z/
