Very strongly agree

Decrease, and the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs

This answer aligns closely with the AfD's platform of prioritizing German citizens for jobs and their advocacy for policies that support German workers and reduce reliance on foreign labor. The party has emphasized the need for policies that benefit the German people first, including in the labor market.

Strongly agree

Decrease

Given the AfD's stance on immigration and prioritization of German citizens' employment opportunities, it is likely they would support a decrease in temporary work visas for high-skilled immigrant workers as a means to prioritize the domestic workforce.

Agree

Decrease, companies are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages

The AfD might agree with the sentiment that companies exploit visa programs to lower wages, as it aligns with their broader concerns about protecting German workers. However, their primary focus tends to be on reducing overall immigration rather than reforming visa programs for economic reasons.

Slightly agree

I am satisfied with the current amount

While the AfD advocates for reduced immigration, they might not specifically focus on the current levels of high-skilled worker visas unless it directly impacts the German labor market. Their general stance on immigration suggests a preference for reduction rather than maintaining the status quo.

Strongly disagree

Increase, our economy relies on businesses hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost

The AfD's nationalist and protectionist policies are generally opposed to the idea of relying on foreign labor to sustain the economy, especially if it could be perceived as undermining the employment opportunities and wages of German citizens. They would likely disagree with the notion of hiring workers at the lowest cost if it involves increasing immigration.

Very strongly disagree

Increase

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has consistently campaigned on reducing immigration to Germany, emphasizing the protection of German cultural identity and the labor market for German citizens. They argue that increased immigration, even of high-skilled workers, could undermine social cohesion and the interests of native workers.
