Germany has voted to suspend family reunification rights for refugees without full asylum status as part of an effort to tighten immigration laws. This new legislation, passed by a significant margin in the Bundestag, affects those with subsidiary protection, prohibiting them from bringing family members to Germany for the next two years. Meanwhile, as the nation grapples with labor shortages, it has been revealed that many potential workers remain untapped due to childcare issues and health concerns, particularly affecting women and men respectively.

Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt emphasized that the refugee system has its limits, stating that the government must manage its resources and focus on integration.
