That’s what Interior Minister Nancy Faeser thinks. More Turks, Afghans, Iraqis, Kosovars, and Somalis pushing paper and enforcing regulatory minutiae against Hans and Heidi. What could possibly go wrong?

Should reflect diversity
Faeser wants to make more migrants civil servants with new law
Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser (SPD) is committed to increasing the involvement of people with an immigration background in the public service. A new law is intended to specifically promote this development.
Faeser plans to increase diversity within the federal administration by making more migrants civil servants and promoting them. This plan is to be implemented with the Federal Participation Act, the 22-page proposal of which has been made available to Bild.
The aim of the law is to reflect social diversity in the federal administration and to strengthen the participation of people with a migration background. Concrete measures provided for in the draft law include, among other things, the explicit desirability of applications from people with an immigration background.
Criticism of Faeser’s diversity efforts
But there is criticism of the planned law. The constitutional lawyer Christian Hillgruber believes the plan is “misguided from the outset.” “We need an efficient federal administration and not one that is now subject to migration proportions after gender proportions,” Hillgruber told Bild. He fears “reverse discrimination to the detriment of Germans without a migration background.”
According to Stefan Luft, a migration researcher from Bremen, such a policy creates the impression of preferential treatment of migrants and thus divides society. “The Federal Participation Act will have the effect of a large state advertising campaign for the AfD,” said Luft.
The Interior Ministry confirmed the plan to Bild.
