Germany re-established checks at all its land border crossings after two deadly knife attacks this summer were attributed to migrants. Neighboring nations are now concerned about the new measures and how they might impact travel inside the European Union. What does that mean for asylum seekers?

• Dimitrios Soultogiannis is the U.S. Correspondent at Star TV Greece.
• Joav Toker is an Associate Professor of International Relations and Diplomacy at The American Graduate School in Paris.
• Edmund Ghareeb is an Academic and Middle East Expert.
• Patrick Taran is the President of Global Migration Policy Associates.
