Después de la reforma de la ley de nacionalidad de 1999, Alemania está dando un paso más hacia el modelado, largamente esperado, de una política de inmigración organizada e integral, concluyendo de esta manera, por primera vez oficialmente, que Alemania no es solo un país de inmigración, sino que además se afirma que se necesita más inmigración. Sin embargo, mientras que la política de ciudadanía en Alemania se aleja de viejas concepciones étnicas, con la posibilidad de que los niños inmigrantes adquieran la ciudadanía por nacimiento y una reducción de los requisitos de adaptación, las políticas laborales de emigración aún permanecen en una actitud conocida del pasado, ya que los inmigrantes solo son "requeridos", si se ajustan a las necesidades estructurales del mercado laboral y de la economía. Por lo tanto, la ley de inmigración planeada está en peligro de repetir el fracaso de las antiguas políticas de trabajadores extranjeros al tratar a los inmigrantes solamente como trabajadores. La política de inmigración alemana parece seguir siendo un mecanismo puramente selectivo en la competencia mundial para los trabajadores inmigrantes mejor cualificados.Universidad de Huelva20022002-01-0120022002-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10272/136reponame:Arias Montano.
