    Not restrict migration, but facilitate deportations of "irregular entrants" back to Kenia. See the news release by Olaf Scholz: "Die beiden Staaten haben ein Migrationsabkommen vereinbart, das das Anwerben von Fachkräften erleichtern soll, aber auch die Rückführung irregulär Eingereister. "

    @ccprog, one of the key problems with German (and EU) migration policy is that it is traffickers and not visa officials who select who gets in. The treaty is trying to reduce that.

    @ItalianPhilosopher, most of the Gastarbeiter generation have permanent residency but not citizenship, because until the most recent reforms they would have had to abandon their old citizenship for naturalization in Germany. With employment, immigrants can apply for German citizenship after five years of temporary residency. There would be language tests, etc.

    @o.m. Fair enough. I did not realize dual nationalities had different rules for different groups (but I did know Turks have historically been critical of GastArbeiter arrangements) Commented Sep 17 at 0:00

    @ItalianPhilosopher, historically Germany was against dual nationalities. But for EU citizens that rule was weakened sooner than for others.
