Mrs Merkel, 62, has failed to remove a total of 556,499 migrants who had their asylum applications turned down and have remained in Germany, according to figures released by the Bundestag.
According to the figures, four out of five of those have been in the country for more than six years which means they are now entitled to more rights.
Many of the total are believed to have been living in Germany since the 1990s.
The inaction of Mrs Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, flies in the face of growing pressure on Mrs Merkel to get tough with expulsion policies after an influx of more than a million people to the country seeking asylum since January 2015.
Christian Social Union (CSU) MP Hans-Peter Friedrich, who was a former Interior Minister in Mrs Merkel’s Government said: “Allowing rejected asylum seekers to dance around the state like this is destroying the confidence of citizens in the capacity of the state to act.”
Rainer Wendt, the head of the German police trade union, said: “There is a deportation prevention industry, which must be changed urgently.”
About half of the figure have an unlimited right to stay due to a variety of reasons including being stateless; their native country being unwilling to accept them back or they have a medical condition.
Others though have remained in the country illegally or have claimed they do not have any identity papers, delaying their expulsion.
