Migration Debates in Germany: Where Are We Headed and What Should We Do?
Open to the Public
Debates on migration in Germany are older than the Federal Republic itself. Recent debates evolve around whether a new immigration law is needed and what it should look like to meet the country's needs for skilled migrants.
The so-called “refugee crisis” of 2015 led to the omnipresence of the topic of migration in the political debate, not least because the newly elected right-wing party as well as other politicians have taken controversial positions in the discussion. Seeing itself under increased external pressure, the German government presented a draft for a new law on labor migration in 2018.
