Immigration is really a major point. As an immigrant from south European country that moved to Germany with a plan to stay here with the already formed family, all I can say it's not that easy.
It's not only about giving the immigrant right to work, live, later vote in Germany. It's about absorbing them, making their life easier, and truly helping them to integrate into society. That's the effort that, right now, an immigrant has to make himself, but there's no much support from the state.
My own example, I came here on Blue Card. That was easy. Then, I had to wait for half a year before my wife and children could join me. Then we had to wait for another half year before my children could start with the kindergarten. Only after that, my wife could actually start going to language / integration course. All in all, a year wasted before we could even start integrating. In addition to that, my son will start school next year, and will have only one year at German kindergarten instead of two. That will severely impact his ability to actually attend school in a yet unlearned language.
What I want to say is that integration of immigrant is not easy, and there's much more that needs to be done. If you want them to integrate into the society, you should treat them much better, even better than citizen. Why? Because Germany needs them?
If it's not done properly, in 50 years there will be no more German way of life. Majority of the people will not know how to use "der", "die" and "das" properly and would not even care about that. Half of the German population will be made of non integrated immigrants, leaving in small communities of people with the same origin.
- kamakazizuru 13y agoyes - this is exactly the point I made in my comment above. Couldnt agree with you more. Dont just make getting a visa or a job easy - make it easier for people to integrate - make people more accepted.
