With 7.3 million foreigners, or 9 percent of the population, Germany has the
highest proportion of immigrants of any of the major European powers. But this
presence makes many Germans uneasy and the country is now plunged once more into
an intense debate about how open it should be.

The Christian Democrats this week opened a debate that is certain to be central
to next year's election. ''Germany is not a classic country of immigration, and
because of its history, geography and economic conditions, it cannot be one,''
the party said in a new policy paper.

It did not define what classic means here -- although party officials say it is
a reference to countries, like the United States, that were formed by
immigration. But even that statement is a departure from the party's long-held
position under the former chancellor, Helmut Kohl, that Germany was not a land
of immigration -- classic or otherwise.
