Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

German party could rely on far-right again for immigration vote (www.bbc.com)

Summary

Friedrich Merz, leader of Germany’s CDU party and a leading candidate for chancellor, may again rely on far-right AfD votes to pass stricter immigration laws.

This move, following a similar vote earlier in the week, has drawn widespread criticism, including from former Chancellor Angela Merkel and current Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who called it an “unforgivable mistake.”

Protests erupted across Germany against CDU's cooperation with AfD, which has been partially classified as extremist. Immigration remains a key issue ahead of Germany’s snap election next month.

They get exploited by a mix of factors, some of which are:

poor or badly prepared information for non-nationals
no easy recognition of academic competences
nationals refusing certain segments of employment due to systemic low salaries and/or poor working conditions
bad actors

In good intelectual honesty, I can't oppose immigration to my country; historically, we are an emmigrant nation.

Want I can oppose is how the same that go out and often get exploited, eventually come back and do the same to those coming here. Bad actors.

At a government/legal level, those same bad actors exist and thrive at delaying or not properly organizing the means for those that want to integrate, legally, to do so. It is extremely sad to be a private citizen and be forced to show a public official where and how are they wrong.

And professional, independent, orders refusing to recognize the competences of non-national professionals is disgusting. If a phisycian is good enough to provide healthcare in a tourist destination, I risk they can perform just as well anywhere else. The same for teachers, engineera, etc.

And last, on my list, why are there occupations too low for my compatriots to take? Low salary? Make demands, go on strike, unionize. Poor work conditions? Same recipe.
