ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Increase

The Free Democratic Party (FDP) generally supports liberal immigration policies and attracting high-skilled workers to Germany. They believe that high-skilled immigrants can contribute to the country's economic growth and innovation. For example, in their 2021 election program, they called for a modern immigration law that would make it easier for skilled workers to come to Germany.

Agree

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

The FDP is generally pro-business and pro-growth, so they might agree with the argument that the economy relies on businesses hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost. However, their focus on attracting high-skilled workers might be more related to promoting innovation and economic growth rather than solely focusing on cost reduction.

Neutral

I am satisfied with the current amount

While the FDP might not be explicitly dissatisfied with the current amount of temporary work visas, they have called for a modern immigration law that would make it easier for skilled workers to come to Germany. This suggests that they might prefer an increase rather than maintaining the status quo.

Disagree

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

While the FDP might support providing incentives to prepare German citizens for high-skilled jobs, they are unlikely to advocate for a decrease in temporary work visas for high-skilled immigrant workers. Their pro-business and pro-growth stance would likely lead them to support attracting skilled workers from abroad in addition to investing in domestic education and training.

Disagree

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

The FDP is generally pro-business and pro-growth, so they are unlikely to support a decrease in temporary work visas based on the argument that companies are taking advantage of the program to decrease wages. They would likely argue that attracting high-skilled workers is beneficial for the economy and innovation, outweighing potential wage concerns.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

The FDP is unlikely to support a decrease in temporary work visas for high-skilled immigrant workers, as they generally advocate for liberal immigration policies and recognize the benefits of attracting skilled workers to the country. Decreasing the number of visas would go against their pro-business and pro-growth stance.
