Abstract

At the best of times, the issue of immigration is sensitive and related debate heated. At times such as these, it cannot be expected to be handled sensibly. The decision of the German Interior Minister following the terrorist attacks in the United States not to submit proposed immigration legislation to Cabinet on September 26 was, from this perspective alone, wise. Historical examples of the mistakes in policymaking that can result from deficient democratic discourse are legion and are most commonly made during times of political crisis. Unfortunately, the resultant mistakes may be thereby all the graver, as the policies concern issues of fundamental national importance.
