Another Ministry?

 The Green Party of Germany's candidate for Chancellor (Baerbock) gave a talk yesterday with a Turkish group.  Her chief comment?  After the election, the Greens want to pursue having a new Ministry of Migration.  

Her selling point?  Well....the Turks in particular, are on the 4th generation of life in Germany.....thus making it a 'migration society'.  

Selling this idea across to the other parties in the Bundestag or the general public?  I'd say it's going to be a tough sale. 

Some might go and say that if you did this.....you need a Ministry of Integration as well.  

Presently, asylum-migration-immigration has fallen from a top three political topic to somewhere between the level of ten to twenty.  I would suggest it's close to half the country still being a bit frustrated with the Merkel program of asylum and migration....so hyping the topic probably doesn't help that much.
