People and Politics | Germany, a Country of Immigration – Why Integration is a High-Priority

"We asked for workers, but it was people that came thats how the writer Max Frisch once put it. When the first guest workers began coming to Germany more than 50 years ago, politicians didnt think about the long-term consequences of labor migration. Millions of people have come since then, first from southern Europe, then Turkey, and later from northern Africa. Now their second- and third-generation descendants live in Germany and have played a large role in the success of the country. But many of them are poorly integrated, living in parallel societies and sometimes in hostility to democratic values. Some of them drift into religious fanaticism or crime. Rupert Wiederwald takes a look at the whole issue of integration, one of the greatest challenges in German politics today.

Absolutely Discusting, did the germans as a people get castrated?? Now there future is to become an ethnic minority in their own fucking country, how pathetic!

raised, attending schools, making odd friends out of odd Germans, who bought a

little shitty shop and turned it into a kebab shop or whatever , invested in

various ventures, bought houses, got involved romantically with a German) to go

back says a lot about how poor you are in compassion and humanity.
