Abstract

Deutschland ist ein Einwanderungsland. Dies sollte heute niemand mehr ernsthaft bestreiten. Dennoch bedarf es einiger Anstrengungen, die von vielen Seiten geforderte "Willkommenskultur" zu etablieren. Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt mit Bezug zu einem Bibelzitat Einblicke in den aktuellen Stand der Debatte. Vor dem Hintergrund der demografischen Herausforderungen, vor denen Deutschland zweifelsohne steht, wird ein Plädoyer für eine umfassende Strategie gehalten. So ist neben einer besseren Aktivierung inländischer Potenziale eine Kehrtwende in der deutschen Zuwanderungspolitik dringend erforderlich. Es wird insgesamt ein selbstbewusster und unaufgeregter Umgang mit den Themen Migration und Integration angeregt, zu dem Deutschland leider bislang nicht gefunden hat.
