Asylum policy and the shortage of skilled workers: on The issue of immigration of new Trouble threatens the Big coalition. The DW explains which models are the planned immigration bill up for discussion. A Listicle.
After the Back-and-Forth in the case of the Constitution, protector of Hans-Georg Maaßen in the past week, many had hoped that the Grand coalition of CDU, CSU and SPD finally comes to rest and in-kind work. She does also. But whether the leaders can agree on the coalition summit on Monday evening on a common line in terms of immigration, is questionable.
The most important questions to clarify are: How to look like a new immigration bill, the much-needed skilled workers to Germany beckons? And how it can be achieved that is already built, but, nevertheless, rejected asylum seekers will receive a permanent perspective? In the Following, an Overview of which models and ideas are in the room.
Lane change
Who is applying in Germany, unsuccessfully, for asylum must leave the country – without exception. This rule wants the SPD to soften and proposes an exception, in order to keep skilled workers in Germany. Anyone who has used the long period of the asylum procedure, in order to find a job, learn the language and integrate, also with a nixed request to remain in Germany.
These people switch, so to speak, the “track” like a car on the highway, the SPD proposal. Instead of using the “lanes” of the asylum procedure, the stay you can reach right in Germany, a new immigration law. Vice-Chancellor and Finance Minister, Olaf Scholz, is counting on the “lane-change”-concept for the population arrives is positive.
“We push the Wrong, say many citizens of our country, if you see that there are offenders that you can do to put a deportation relevant and at the same time colleagues are next to you at work, the great work of which you want, the more,” says Scholz.
Sought after: The “blue card” for foreign it specialists
The Union rejects the “lane change” vehemently. The CSU land group chief Alexander Dobrindt says: “There can be no mixing between asylum and labour migration, these are different situations. It is clear that we give the Signal to the world that regardless of whether an asylum request is confirmed or rejected, you can definitely stay in Germany”.
Key-date regulation
Many critics of the “lane change” fear that such a scheme creates an additional incentive for Migration to Germany – even for people who have, according to the criteria of the asylum legislation actually no perspective on a right to stay. Therefore, a so-called “key date regulation” in the conversation. You would rules that only asylum seekers who have come up to a certain date, to Germany, and as other foreign applicants the criteria of the immigration act to meet, allowed to remain. Although this would exclude a possible abuse, to reject parts of the Union, such a scheme but also.
The recruitment of specialists
In a Central point of the SPD and the Union are, after all, agreed that The potential of refugees as professionals must be used. Now it comes to the design. Horst Seehofer, and specifically skilled workers from abroad to recruit – without “changing lanes” and key-date regulation. In a key issues paper prepared by Seehofer, together with the Ministry of economy and labour, it is provided that especially people with a completed, recognized in Germany vocational training, enlisted. In addition, these applicants must provide evidence of additional criteria, for example, knowledge of the language, but also a concrete work offer. Thus, in practice, also realistic, is to facilitate the entry for the purposes of the job search.

Points system
Model Canada: The North American country was already in the parliamentary election in 2017 all the rage when it came to a new immigration law. Canada selects its migrants with a points system – something Similar is also for Germany, since a Long time and again in conversation. In this model, immigrants, certain criteria may be able to meet and collect points to gain a visa of a certain type. Thus, the immigration of skilled workers could demand taxes, advocates say. The Union of such a System rejects. On the coalition summit, the model Canada is not a debate.
