Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote a book about education that is still worth reading today in 1762, namely “Émile ou de l'education“. The future citizen of a country should get to know different companies in his youth in order to ultimately decide for himself with which company he concludes his contract and then as a citizen of this country to also fulfill its obligations.

It is therefore self-evident from the outset that there is also a natural contractual relationship between the respective state and every citizen that goes beyond a mere citizenship relationship, which must be observed by both sides in order to ultimately be able to keep this connection, which is fruitful for both sides, alive .

History has shown that there are always companies that terminate the contractual relationship between the state and the citizen on their own initiative; totalitarian regimes, including those of real socialism, can serve as good examples here.

But there is also the termination of contracts on the part of the citizens, which in the best case leads to the emigration of the citizens concerned - nowadays mostly from dictatorships or Islamic countries. Viewed negatively, they go into a kind of "internal migration" and often form a layer of the socially despised, which is today referred to as a parallel society.

In this way, people who cannot be happy in their countries of origin or who have no means of subsistence there will continue to try to establish themselves in other societies.

The basic requirement should be that the potential new citizen is willing not only to "sign" the social contract of his new homeland, but also to fulfill it.

It is also worth noting that our current society, which has not been able to reproduce itself for a long time, is absolutely dependent on new citizens.

We like to claim that we are not only the "land of poets and thinkers", but also an open and high-tech society.

We would have to manifest this self-image, which is obviously not entirely shared by outsiders, in a corresponding and also long overdue immigration law, as it were in a preamble, so that potential immigrants know in advance which society they are coming into and which contract they have with them complete other parts of the population.

In addition, it is also important to formulate minimum requirements that a new citizen has to meet before he can even immigrate to our Union or our country. In addition to these minimum requirements, further goals must be defined that a new citizen has to achieve over a certain period of time. It makes sense here to explicitly set these goals for all other people living in our country and to enforce them through state-initiated measures; lifelong learning could be one of these goals.

In a nutshell, we need a corporate identity – a model that everyone can use to align themselves and find their way around.

If we don't create this common model soon, and if we can't even agree on the European idea or that of the open society, further parallel societies will develop with us that only have one thing in common, namely that they are all dripping from one and the same — long overwhelmed — state hanging. And that will inevitably end in a civil or small war; there are plenty of current examples.

“We need those who use us and not those who take advantage of us. That should be our motto for immigration policy.”

Hans-Peter Friedrich, Leipziger Volkszeitung (May 15, 2011)
[But that applies exactly to those born here!]
