Should immigrants to Germany be allowed to hold dual citizenship status?
Multiple citizenship, also called dual citizenship is a person's citizenship status, in which a person is concurrently regarded as a citizen of more than one state under the laws of those states. There is no international convention which determines the nationality or citizen status of a person, which is defined exclusively by national laws, which vary and can be inconsistent with each other. Some countries do not permit dual citizenship. Most countries that permit dual citizenship still may not recognize the other citizenship of its nationals within its own territory, for example, in relation to entry into the country, national service, duty to vote, etc.

Yes, depending on whether the other citizenship country is aligned with European values and culture or has bad relations with Europe or Germany.
Yes, unless the other is a hostile power to Germany or is working to override democratic norms in other countries.
No, we should deport them and ban immigration forever
Yes, unless they are of anglo-american origin
@9DXDG3R1yr1Y
Yes, but only if they are White, Christian and want to integrate in German society
@99LZNH32yrs2Y
Only for countries with similar values to Germany. If they get German citizenship, they must relinquish the right to vote in their country of origin.
I don't believe in states.
Yes, but shall only be allowed to vote in Germany
@8W486YJFree Democratic3yrs3Y
Only if they can successfully integrate into German society via learn German, work, and get themselves situated then given a test to see if they can really function here.
Yes, immigrants can get citizenship and keep their original citizenship unless they have committed a crime, in which case German citizenship is not given
@99G6V3Q2yrs2Y
No, only those born in Germany should have citizenship
Yes, and they should be able to claim citizenship of as many nations as they belong to.
Yes for all but a few select countries (e.g. Turkey)
Only if the 2nd country is a republic with similar values to Germany such as France, the US, etc. If the second passport is with an Islamist country no, and they shouldn't be in Germany in the first place
@9C373KC2yrs2Y
Yes, only from certain countries or if they share German heritage.
Yes, but they should only be allowed to vote in a election in one country and have to choose which country they want to vote in
