only if they have formally achieved a German citizenship and/or have been in Germany for 5-10 years
@B2928TV6mos6MO
If they are EU citizens, then they should have the right to vote in all elections. Otherwise I would limit it to local elections.
@9YJY4VJ8mos8MO
If the family that have immigrated can support themselves so yes if not they will just be a very biased voter.
@9XMBCBT8mos8MO
Yes, but they should only be allowed to vote afrer living here for 5 years, and only for local elections.
@9J5YK931yr1Y
Depends on if they are full citizens of Germany and live full time in Germany and hold a full time job in Germany and be a law abiding citizen
@9FTSVQ82yrs2Y
No, only legal citizens should be allowed to vote. And citizenship can be obtained by social work or military service.
@8TKC2SF4yrs4Y
What matters is not how long they have lived here, but how long they will be living here.
@8V6XYSB4yrs4Y
No, and an autocracy should be established
