ABSTRACT
Migration has a long history in Europe and it took centre stage in German politics since the 1970s. European Union (EU) immigration laws advocate for effective and efficient management of immigration in the EU. In this discourse, neoclassical economic theories were engaged to explain why people migrate and what are the factors that attract them to move. This research is aimed at examining the circumstances surrounding the deportation of Gambian nationals from Germany and assess EU immigration law to establish that Common European Asylum System which is neither a failure nor success in terms of implementation. This research adopts qualitative methods to discuss EU immigration law, Common European Asylum policy and provide an explanation of the actions of German government in the deportation of Gambian nationals from Germany. In conclusion, the Government of the Gambia needs to be serious about development and creates an initiative that will bring sovereign national wealth. The Government of the Gambia depends on EU for many processes such as budgetary support, development projects, etc. As long as the Government of the Gambia continues to depend on the EU for economic and social advancement, more Gambian migrants will continue to be deported from EU member countries.
