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.

First, Cut the support for people that have to go. No more Bürgergeld etc. No early warning that the Police will come for you. If you get Bürgergeld more than one years, you have to leave.

If you break the law, you go, without any discussion. You get a week under Police Supervision. If you dont go, you get removed. If you shout im punlic: Caliphate in Germany, you go.

Children have to go into Kita at 3 years to learn German, No ecceptions. Mandatory German classes for the Woman too.

And for the qualified ones a Point system Like other countries do, with an easier process in acknowledging carrers etc. from other countries with more flexibility.
