German President Steinmeier talks about immigration: there is no division between first class and second class citizens. Our Constitution does not define the German nation as a blood group. The Constitution does not recognize so-called “national communities” of the same blood, nor does it grant citizenship privileges to so-called “native Germans.” In the constitutional definition, the German nation also includes those who joined us later.
