POLS-Y 107 Lecture 12: SPD got 100%
Document Summary
Although the social democratic party continues to promote social justice and the welfare state, the party"s stance on immigration is more closely aligned to the position held by the cdu/csu rather than with germany"s other democratic parties. Members of the spd are concerned about the islamization of germany and how it could take away from a positive attitude toward immigration and threatens to cause a social divide. The spd favors the creation of einreisezentren (entry centers) where refugees could instantly be registered and file an application for asylum. The spd wants to establish a basis for recruiting skilled workers from around the world contingent on their qualifications and language skills and to implement a point system similar to the one in canada. The youth movement of the spd does not support the current spd position on immigration and believes they have strayed from their basic ideology.
