I know, and on the one hand I think it´s good (we should be glad that they choose us), but on the other hand we should restrict immigration in general: so many come to us and just don´t learn German. I´ve read, that entire communities speak Russian (and for Muslims Turkish or Arab). That´s not the way it should be, we´re not a Russian (Turkish) colony.

Well, the difference is--most of these immigrants are well-educated. Once they learn German, they are a boon to the society. Their children will also be high achievers. Actually, many of them are going to Germany because their families were historically ethnic Germans. I doubt that these immigrants will be as much of a drain on the economy as many of the Ossis are currently. Language can be taught, work ethic--I'm not so sure.
