Bild wrote in its article on Monday that the reason for the rejection could be the wave of migrants experienced in recent months, during which tens of thousands of migrants arrived illegally in Germany.
In October alone, 13,425 migrants arrived illegally in Germany, so since the beginning of the year, 85,308 migrants have crossed the state border illegally, which represents a serious increase compared to last year's slightly more than 57,000 illegal entries.
- reminded the daily newspaper.
INSA's research showed that in more than two-thirds of those surveyed,
i.e. 68.3 percent of them are concerned about such an increase in the number of refugees.
On the other hand, only 23.5 percent of the respondents believed that this was not a problem for them.
Voters sympathetic to various German parties were also represented among the people interviewed, among whom more than fifty percent of the voters of most parties said they were worried about the number of refugees. The survey showed a different result only among the voters of the Green Party, as 55 percent of them do not view the situation with concern.
The research also drew attention to the fact that
according to 48.4 percent of the respondents, Germany is changing for the worse because of the migrants arriving there.
Only 16.3 percent believed that migration would make Germany a better place, and every third respondent (31.4 percent) believed that migration would not cause any changes in the country.
There was also an important difference between the voter groups, as voters for the Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) and the Free Democratic Party (FDP) believe that migrants make the country a worse place.
On the other hand, according to those who voted for the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Greens (Die Grüne), migration does not cause any change in Germany.
The majority of Germans have a critical view of migrants from Islamic countries
46 percent of the respondents believed that it is not a good thing if migrants come from Islamic countries, while 35 percent of them do not care and only 16 percent consider the arrival of Muslims to be a good thing.
According to 50.5 percent of those who voted for the conservative CDU/CSU party union, the arrival of migrants from the Islamic world is a bad thing, and the relative majority of those who voted for the Social Democratic Party (36.5 percent) reject the immigration of Muslims.
Could German society reach a turning point?
CDU politicians are already warning that the composition of the population may change due to the migration policy, as a result of which German society may reach a turning point.
"If 400,000 migrants arrive in Germany every year, this could happen soon. If the vast majority of the population has an immigrant background, then Germany will change irreversibly"
- said CDU politician Stefan Heck.
According to interior affairs expert Christopher de Vries, “Germany will not cope with the integration of migrants. Integration depends on mass and cultural proximity.”
For this reason, the expert believes that Germany would do better to only recruit from countries with similar cultures and core values.

President of the CDU/CSU youth organization: Nothing works without migrants
The new president of the Junge Union, Johannes Winkel, took a stand in favor of increasing migration to Germany, because according to him, the situation does not only affect skilled workers. The youth wing of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Christian Social Union (CSU), which are currently in opposition, has therefore made a radical turn, which until now had been quite skeptical about the issue of migration, Junge Freiheit reported based on an article published in Der Spiegel .
According to Johannes Winkel, " if the wish of the Alternative Germany (AfD) party were to come true and not a single person with a migrant background would remain in Germany, even the honorary president of the AfD, Alexander Gauland, would realize that nothing would work in this country" .
We are a nation of immigrants and we need immigration
- said the president of the Junge Union, who added: Germany needs constant migration to maintain its demographic level. The CDU/CSU party union has not wanted to acknowledge this fact for a long time.
Politicians should thank those who come to work in the country
Johannes Winkel, when asked if permanent migration refers only to the immigration of skilled workers, answered that "both types of immigrants are needed."
"In general, politicians could thank the people who come to Germany to work hard more often"
he emphasized.
In addition, the politician criticized the draft of the new immigration reform: "You have to be brave enough to define that the purpose of immigration must be employment. Currently, a good number of immigrants take advantage of the social assistance system. We won't be able to handle this in the long run."
