Needed skills don’t equate to highly educated. It could be construction worker. Limiting immigrates to those with talent and needed skills is a way to control the border and benefit a country.
I agree with the first part oft your comment. But don’t you think that providing people from abroad with the means to build those skills here is worthwhile?
Is it such a prohibitively expensive undertaking to teach somebody how to do construction? With the added benefit of them learning it with the tools and work environment common in Germany?
I’d argue it’s necessary even. By cherrypicking only fully educated/skilled workers we won’t be able to counteract the rapid decline in working age population.
It would be cheaper to admit those who already have the needed skills. Construction work requires physical strength and enduring harsh weather conditions. Some people aren’t suitable for this.
Or… you could meet people where they are and help them build the skills in a field they are interested in.
We need workers in all kinds of industries.
I hope you realize how distasteful (to say it politely) it comes across to wish for workers you don’t have to invest in that you can exploit for physically taxing labor in the hot sun. If you catch my drift.
