    As a skilled immigrant to Germany, Merz didn’t do shit except further restrict pathways we had towards citizenship. The immigration offices remain underfunded and overworked to the extent that many skilled immigrants would rather leave Germany (or indeed are forced out due to missed deadlines from immigration processing) than continue to deal with them.

      Immigrants should try to get German lawmakers to change this since it doesn’t do any good for Germany to allow skilled immigrants in but can’t retain them.
