Great, i like that its getting better. Faster Passport as the goal of integration will be a positive for the integration of immigrants in Germany. And i also like that you have to accept our cultural values such as equality and the ban for antisemitic people.
Ithink it's an outright incredible sign that it is stated as a hard requirement ti accept equal rights.
Yes and i hope it works, the crimes against LGBT and Woman are on the rise again, especially discrimination. Its not acceptable to have that sort of people vote here. We already have enough people of our own with that mindset, and we cannot take the passport away again ever if someone violates our laws, cultural standards or Values as society.
And here’s why Germany is ranked among the worst countries for expats. You desperately need people. Both the dirty work like cleaning and blue collar work and high skilled jobs that most Germans aren’t qualified enough for, mainly in tech.
You still treat the Indian, Turkish, Vietnamese immigrant like they’re here to make your food and the Eastern European immigrant like they’re gonna steal your bike if they’re not alcoholics. Yet these are nowadays the people that pay the highest taxes in Germany and other countries with a tech sector.
Who’s gonna pay for your retirement? Who’s gonna take care of you when you’re old and your family dumps you at a nursing home? Germany is still doing well but SMEs aren’t as relevant as building software products, the 80s are over. This attitude is already hurting Germany and it’s only getting worse. Not gonna be my problem but people like you really need a reality check.
Regardless that we need more working age people, those coming to us have to follow our liberal-democratic basic order (freiheitlich-demokratische Grundordnung). We can't get rid of anti-democrats born here, but we must be able to chose who is coming into Europe.
I am familiar with the concept, I find it ridiculous to assume that the default is that foreign people would not follow the law.
I don’t agree with you that „we must be able to choose“ because I don’t believe it is our achievement that we were born here and we have contributed nothing to how things are in Europe.
The thing that has contributed most to how rich Europe is is colonial exploitation of the global south. As of now our European borders are a deeply racist construct aimed at keeping the consequences of hundred of years of exploitation away from us, and don’t get me started with climate change.
Just because fascism has become popular in Europe again, there’s no need to parrot their brainrot uncritically. I am very worried about the future of Europe due to the rise of fascism. I believe if we continue going down this route we will become economically irrelevant, all humanitarian aspects left aside.
Business and qualified people go rather somewhere stable and predictable than to Germany or France where a new Nazi Reich is a possibility. Europeans are just still too stuck in their colonial mindset to realize that. If you don’t believe me then just look over to the UK, this could be us.
