    Those came after WWII, from the Gastarbeitern who helped rebuild Germany

        That was the original plan, which caused a lot of the trouble the Germany currently has. There weren’t big programs for immigrants to learn German until decades after the original Gastarbeiter had arrived. There was no effort at all of integrating them or their children until basically an entire generation had already come, settled, and retired. Even aside from cultural aspects, a lot of the descendants of Gastarbeitern don’t have German citizenship. It’s fucking wild to me that someone could be the third generation of their family born in a country and still not be given citizenship.

        I’m an immigrant and a German teacher, so I’m probably biased, but that’s not the way to go about things.
