Bouffier noted those who want to become German citizens in the future should prove they share the same values of German citizens. Bouffier said everybody, who wants to be a German citizen, would be expected to know and understand the basic foundations of citizenship and added: The internal dependence condition, which is demanded, in the immigration law, cannot be provided with written statements demanded from immigrants.
