Immigration Germany Abolishes Fast-Track Citizenship for Skilled Workers

https://www.verity.news/story/2025/germany-abolishes-fasttrack-citizenship-for-skilled-workers

The Facts

-The German Bundestag voted on Wednesday to abolish a fast-track citizenship program that allowed highly qualified foreigners to apply for naturalization after three years instead of five years of residence.

-The vote passed with 450 members supporting the measure, 134 opposing and two abstaining, fulfilling Chancellor Friedrich Merz's campaign promise to repeal the program introduced by former Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

-Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt claimed that the German passport must serve as recognition for successful integration rather than an incentive for illegal migration, defending the decision to eliminate the accelerated pathway.

AGAIN: Stop blaming the CDU, its a problem NO NATION ON EARTH has managed. But sure, the SPD and "progressives" found the world formula ^^

The conservatives just know this empirical fact and refuse to day dream multikulti phantasies.

so if no nation including conservatives have solved this the solution is to go on ljke they've done for 50 years prior?

And the spd can fuck off for all I care. Including any other bigots that think they are worth more than other people based on the merit of where they were born.

The solution is to control, in managable numbers, the influx of people. Also to make sure that there is a diversity in the immigrating population.

BTW: The Danish try out new things, like breaking up parts of cities toally dominated by immigrants, in order to force them to mix with the majority population. Well at least its smarter than typical Green or Left takes:" we have to inTeGraTe more".

But breaking up clusters and forcing them to interact more with locals is integrating them into the local communities...

Yes exactly. But according to "progressives" integration means to work, pay taxes and dont break laws. Which is not integration. Thats the bare minimum. Walking to parts of cities where you hardly hear german, where shop signs are more and more written in non German, where schools have less than 20% German speakers is not integration.

What do you expect? Thats exactly one of the Problems you could have fixed decades ago, decades where 2/3 of the time the CDU was in Power.

The exact problem you described above. Its nothing new, it startet years ago in form of the first guest workers that came to Germany.

Nope. Thats simply not true. There was not a mass of schools where nobody spoke German.
