In addition to the Greek boat accident, the daily deaths of migrants at sea have shocked European rulers.
Most EU countries are trying to stop migrants, while Germany’s parliament has passed a law aimed at helping migrants reach Germany.
The law will make it easier for immigrants from outside the EU to move to Germany by introducing a Canadian-style points system.
Under the system, points will be awarded based on age, skills, education and any connection to Germany.
Salary, educational qualification and German language proficiency requirements will also be relaxed.
After this law, it will be easier for immigrants who do not have a job offer to go to Germany.
In order to make the country attractive to immigrants, Germany has allowed them to bring their parents with them in addition to their spouses and children.
This is an important and new turning point in German policy.
For decades, German governments have resisted the idea that Germany could be a destination for migrants.
