Germany nearly opened the doors for workers from abroad within the year

SPD Base Request

For years the requirement for an immigration law is part of the SPD programme, for years the SPD has failed in resisting conservative coalition partners CDU and CSU. The German is not the immigration place”, always listen to these parties. Later, an immigration law has been hindered by the fact that there are various legal arrangements for this, so an immigration law is not needed.
But the Social Democrats see this quite differently: the current immigration rules are a bureaucratic monster”, for example, complains the politician responsible for domestic politics in the SPD, Burkhard Lischka in conversation with the DI. Even if you keep in mind the only need for Germany to succeed in the international race for better qualified employees, you should seek a simple, clear and understandable migration law”, says Lischka.

Job immigration, not social protection systems

Meanwhile, even the union parties are willing to talk about a immigration law just because it shouldn't be called like this: the basic “orientation offers the government coalition agreement dealt with, and there we talk about a migration law of qualified employees”, points out Philip Amthor in conversation with the DI. The CDU MP in Bundestag is a member of the Home Affairs Commission, migration for him, as for all unionist parties, means: immigration to work. ” We don't have so little migration”, Amtor says.

Future conflict is pre-programmed

In the end, however: since October, Interior Minister Seehofer will present something that could have the appearance of an immigration law. Exactly what his content will be is unclear. The SPD had presented before parliamentary elections a concept that is highly oriented in Canada's model -- every year allowed to immigration a certain number of immigrants to Germany. They will be selected on the basis of a system in which points for education, professional experience, German knowledge and relatives in Germany would be provided. One of the founders of the concept is SPD deputy Karamba Diaby. Diaby's boyfriend explains:

With the immigration law we want to take care of transparency and show that on the basis of which criteria you can work and live in Germany.” According to this model, it would be theoretically possible to migrate to Germany without having an offer for a certain job.
This is also one reason why unionist politicians reject a dot model. The topic of immigration should be clear one thing”, says Armin Schuster, CDU spokesman at the Interior Commission. “igrim in Germany is carried out via access to the work market”. In other words, without concrete job offers, nothing is done.

From Indian Informacy to Ukrainian chef

But even in the unionist parties themselves, it is clear that the current rules are very complicated. So far we have very high difficulties”, says Philip Amtor. So it's probably a law that sums up the existing rules and makes them less complicated. And the migration expert council supports that. It's not just about people with high qualifications. Simpleer must become migration for people with simple but sought-out professions. “It's not only about the Indian Superinformacy, but I can say that from my electoral zone, even the Ukrainian cook. / DW/
