    I think if you want to move to a country for citizenship you should integrate with the culture of that country.

      I totally agree with you.
      Moving to another county should be that you learn, live and enjoy that culture...... after all, we ourselves decided to move away from our country.
      I am a people person but it must be more effort on the one coming abroad to honor thaw country they chose to live in other than there’s!

      People don't move to other countries due to citizenship, they move because they want to better themselves. Immigrants have the responsibility to integrate to their new society, however. On the other hand, they can also preserve their own culture at home.

    German means to be from german origin. Nobody without german ancestors can become german. But you can become a citizen of the federal republic of germany. Remember, there are millions of germans in Austria and Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg. They dont have the citizenship of the so called Germany.
    Its a metter of definition, Germany is where germans live, so the BRD/FRG is only one part of this big area.

    First segment he says people who try to integrate should not become citizens, then in the second segment he says people should integrate before becoming citizens.
    The rules for becoming a German citizen are far tougher than becoming a US citizen, in the US you only have to live in the US for 5 years whereas in Germany its 8 years!

  • @indrinita

    I don't understand the CSU position at all - it doesn't make sense that someone would think that people who have lived in Germany for years, have jobs, obviously speak the language and can pass a citizenship test are somehow devaluing the German passport by becoming citizens. I mean, isn't that exactly the type of person you'd want to have as citizens? Productive, gainfully employed people who are a part of society already?! How is it 'handing out' citizenship when you have to prove you deserve to be a citizen?!

  • @zackfarnsworth5702

    The problem with taking German citizenship is that you have to give up your other citizenship(s). Germany does allow dual nationality, but only in cases where it's someone who was born a dual citizen or is one by no choice of their own. While I'm not one of those delusional people that think US citizenship is something you'd have to be a moron to give up, I'd still have a hard time doing it because all my family and friends are in the US.

    K. As a "half" second generation immigrant, and social worker in the current refugee crisis, I feel like giving a statement:
    I can definitely see where the Bavarians are coming from. Without wanting to diminish any ones reputation, or even insult them, the sad state of facts is, that quite a lot of immigrants in general come to germany because we have a high amount of freedom coupled with a low amount of duties. While there are many people who want to learn, do well and be successful, there are sadly just as many people who think that getting 1.6k per month for four children (1.6k is also the upper end of wages you can earn without having an apprenticeship/ or a bachelors degree etc) without having to work is more than ok. And it's this part of people who kinda spoil it for everyone. Just today I read a news article, suggesting to change the "rules" for getting state benefits. These include making people eligible for getting money from the state for being jobless, requires them to have had a job for at least 5 years prior to them becoming jobless. And while I really like the general idea, the problems and issues are more than glaringly obvious. The whole thing is a pretty difficult to navigate cluster-fuck, but I think being to nice and generous never helps(I#m not saying the Hamburg guy is too generous, I really can't judge that, all I wanna say is that every step of any direction in this situation needs compulsively careful planning.)

  • @KOGR11

    Yes and no. Depends on what is the take of the culture present in the country about immigrant cultures. In the USA you can say that since its called the "melting pot" where you can label people with rediculous notions like "unamerican" behaviour. In countries like Canada the concept is more of mosaic, immigrants are expected to know the languages but culturally they are encouraged to retain their own. Germany is between this two stances. You should study more before making absolute statements.

    That moment when the narrator mentions the ability to speak German as a requirement for citizenship, says this man from Ghana qualifies and then seeing that very same man being unable to speak a single sentence in German and requiring a translator - priceless. And regarding the CSU party, only 3 years later their opinion changed by 180 degrees and all of their former concerns were forgotten. Today, in 2020 people still wonder how a party like the AFD could raise to influence. I don't, I was there and witnessed it. I'm glad this clip exists, one day it will be one piece in a puzzle that explains how it all started.

  • @guitarfreakirl
    @guitarfreakirl 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I was watching another video about German women who prefer to stay at home and raise their children rather than go out into the workforce. They actually look down on working mothers as irresponsible. All well and good but these devoted mothers still only have one or two children on average, about the same as working mums in other countries or even less. So basically they've got the best of both worlds, stay at home with few children to raise. My point is that rather than complaining about how the population needs to be increased through immigration, why aren't these German stay at home mothers having more German children. Then there wouldn't be such a shortage in the workforce. I would have thought that this culture of stay at home mums would be the solution to the population decline.

    • @kamyll
      @kamyll 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +guitarfreakirl The opposite is true. Enough options to integrate work and family business leads to higher birth rates. Please compare countries like France, Sweden ... with conservative countries, like Germany, Italy, Japan ...
      And by the way: women always worked hard in the history of mankind. Even if they have had 5 children in average. The idea that men have to provide both the children and the women is quite new and comes up with the industrial revolution. Stay-at-home mums like today did not exist, because the work was exactly at home, in the garden and the fields, in the stables... Think about it. And don't mix up the economic status and role with the legal or social status.

    • @guitarfreakirl
      @guitarfreakirl 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +kamy3545 I am not against working mums at all I was just making the rather obvious point that Germany can promote higher birth rates given that they have such a high portion of mums not working. Why should immigration be the first option to increase populations. Surely more births at home should come first. If that comes across as sexist I'm sorry, it's not meant to be.

    • @benoni5104
      @benoni5104 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +guitarfreakirl Dnw it doesnt come across as sexist at all. It merely shows how you view the world and how racist u are. First of all every woman in germany IS and SHOULD be allowed to decide for herself if she wants to have children or not. Secondly sugesting that we wouldn´t have to rely on imigration if german women would "produce" enough children shows clearly that you consider imigratrion as a weakness/problem.

    • @guitarfreakirl
      @guitarfreakirl 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ben Oni
      Immigration should always be the second option after natural population growth and thus implemented only when necessary. And if stay-at-home German mothers can take the view that working mothers are irresponsible then I can take the view that they're just looking for a comfortable life with few children. Of course you can't force women to have more children, all you can do is point out that the few that they produce makes for unsustainable population ageing.

      the criteria for getting a German citizenship are actually pretty high. So no it's not worth nothing. In contrast to the US where everyone who is merely born on US soil becomes a citizen you actually have to legally live in Germany for 8 years, have a stable income, pass a test and speak German. I think that these criteria ensure that only well integrated people can obtain citizenship. Those people that are being naturalized are actually the one that Germany needs. The poor, uneducated, with no job and bad German usually don't go through this program and thus don't become German citizens

    The concept of muticultural society involves a two way acceptance of culture, where the host society accepts the culture of the new immigrant by encouraging them to enrich the host culture while the new immigrant is expected to understand and adhere to the language and economical norms of the country. Multiculturalism is thriving in most countries where it has been adopted, look up singapore. Cultural purists are generally simply xenophobes, and there is no place for those in germany.

Name of my grandfather was Ernest Schäfer and his parents Herbert Schäfer and Herta Hopfner, my grandmother is Helga Lösch and her parents Anton Lösch and Anna Görgner, they all sounds like typical german names to me, but, from the father´s side im slavic, but his surname came from ancient german name "Heimerich". but my grandmother from fathers side is pure slavic. So how the german state takes these crossbreeds? Like the case of mine?

    • @49metal
      @49metal 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There is a difference between naturalizing and being a German citizen by birth. It is possible to be a German citizen at birth by inheritance form a chain of German citizen ancestors. Ethnicity is not the issue, they must have been legal citizens of Germany. Austrian or Swiss won't do it. The question is complex and there are many special factors that might affect a given case. In general, a child born after 1974 to a German citizen is a German citizen by birth regardless of where they are born. Those born before 1975 could only inherit citizenship from a German father (unless they are illegitimate, in which they take the citizenship of the mother) [This may have been retroactively changed recently.]. There is no limit on the number of generations this inheritance can go. However, a child is only a German citizen if the relevant parent is a citizen when they are born. If a person loses their German citizenship then they have not citizenship to pass on to their children. This loss often occurs in three ways: (1) The person naturalizes as a citizen of another country. (2) The person lost their citizenship under the 10 years abroad law (§ 21 StAG 1870) which took the German citizenship of persons who left Germany between 1870 and 1904 and remained abroad for 10 years without registering with the consulate or holding certain German travel papers. (3) Treaties after the first and second world wars often stripped German residents of a given country (like Poland after WW1) of their citizenship if the stayed there after the war. Sometimes they were required to register to keep their citizenship by a certain deadline.
      If you were born after 1974 and if your mother was a German citizen at the time of your birth then you were born a German citizen. Was your mother a German Citizen at the time of you birth? You would apply the same set of rules to her except that, if she was born before 1975 the question is was her father a GC? Apply the same rules to him. In general, if you were born after 1974, and if you can show that you mother's paternal line German emigrant ancestor left Germany after 1903 and never naturalized as a citizen of another country, then she probably inherited German citizenship. which she could give you. If your mom's paternal line German ancestor left Germany before 1904, then you probably have a § 21 StAG 1870 problem. Unfortunately, § 21 problems can be very complex. If your ancestor left before 1903 but registered with the correct consulate or had the correct paperwork then they may have been saved from the operation of § 21 StAG 1870. This ignores the problem of postwar treaties that were particularly consequential to residents of the former eastern territories.
      If you have lucked out and the chain of citizenship was unbroken then you would need to file an application with the German government for a certificate of citizenship. They will want everything documented and translated and if you are going back thee generations, it will be very very arduous. the work of a good genealogist and then a German lawyer will probably be needed and the chances of success can be fleeting in cases based on great grandparents.

    • @49metal
      @49metal 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Eric Pasquale Not so. Such claims are still perfectly valid. Prospectively, children born abroad to German parents who are both domiciled abroad and who were both also born abroad after 1999 only obtain citizenship if their births are registered with German authorities or they would be stateless. This is a very small class of children at present.

I do however believe that if you are going to try and get a citizenship of a country that actually has a long standing culture, you should adapt to it, and not bring your own. If they are kind enough to let you in, join in "their" customs. I hardly think the man they portrayed in this video is a racist, he is just pointing out that fact that they are handing out citizenship
      to people who have no intention on actually becoming a German in the sense of culture and traditions.
