2.6 million guest workers had been able to establish their homes in Germany. According to the German Federal Statistical Office, the number of people with immigrant backgrounds in Germany came to 15.4 million (2007 micro-census). This corresponds to 18.7 per cent of the population, with the tendency rising. Germany’s total net immigration between 2006 and 2050 will amount to 4.4 million people if the balance of migration is 100 000, or 8.6 million people if it is 200 000. At 19.4 per cent, people with Turkish backgrounds head the list of immigrants by an overwhelming margin, followed by those from Poland (6.8 per cent), the Russian Federation (6.6 per cent) and Italy (5.5 per cent). The number of immigrants naturalized in Germany has declined in recent years. Migrants came to Germany mainly for a few reasons: they came as workers, ethnic repatriates, refugees, or dependents immigrating to join their families. In 1955, Germany and Italy signed the agreement of the recruitment of foreign workers. This was the first of its kind that made the federal Republic of Germany to be an immigration country. And so the first "guest workers" started to flow into Germany. But during the oil crisis in 1973, the German government stopped foreign workers' recruitment, but 2.6 million guest workers had been able to establish their homes in Germany. But since January 1, 2005, laws were issued which brought the immigration act into force. The statements of the laws regulate the statutes of the migrants coming to Germany and the integration of foreigners living in Germany.
