Germanies economy is in the shitter* and I have a feeling they will be tightening immigration shortly.
*Still a strong economy in the grand scheme of things, but during period of contraction unable to support short-term generalized expansion of foreign labor. I do think they are in a position to expand foreign labor again in the long term (although it may require finding a way to refactor their energy policies).
- patrickk 4y agoTightening immigration isn’t easy with Schengen and other agreements with EU partners. Unless you exclusively mean non-EU migrants. I haven’t seen any proposal from the current government suggesting they’d clamp down on migration when the population is slowly dwindling and there’s a permanent shortage of workers in most industries in Germany.
- notch656a 4y agoGermany does seem to be a case study that open immigration does "work" at least to the extent it hasn't destroyed Germany? The job seeker visa is trivial at least as an American to get, it has me scratching my head why my own country doesn't offer something similar.
