Summary

The German government will adopt a new migration plan to integrate immigrants. In a declaration, Chancellor Ms Merkel's centre-right cabinet said they would adopt new regulations in governing immigration policy as well as addressing German language courses and combating forced marriages. Mr Seibert added that the government aimed in signing a bill that would have more foreign diplomas recognisedand help employers in Europe's biggest economy find qualified workers. However, he also mentioned that with some foreigners, integration was not happening as it should. In addition, central banker said Germany's migrants had made the country "more stupid". But Chacellor Ms Merkel stated "those who don't accept them don't have a place here".

Personal reflection

It is my opinion that every country needs a certain number of migrants to join if this country wants to get connected with the world. In this stage, German government has a good attempt. It is a good idea to plan a new immigration policy to integrate a country. As the developing of the globalization, migrants have been playing an important role in both economy and policy. They have brought a large number of knowledge and skills to help a country get advanced in a way. Being liveing in a multicultural society, there is no doubt that getting migrants that from different backgrounds involved in a country is really a must.
In this case, I agree with the German government's plan!
