A quarter of people living in Germany have foreign roots
Not all are Muslim colonists — there are plenty from Eastern Europe, too, as well as Westerners who came for a job or to study, then stayed on.
[Ynet] A quarter of all people living in Germany have a migrant background - the highest figure yet recorded in the country of 83 million.

The German Statistical Office said Wednesday that 25.5% of the population, or about 20.8 million people, have migrant roots according to the latest figures from 2018. That's an increase of 2.5% compared with 2017.

The agency defines a person as having a "migrant background" if they or at least one parent held a foreign passport at birth.
Deutsche Welle has the details:
While refugees catch the headlines, most migrants come from other parts of Europe. Only 15% of 20.8 million people with an immigrant background came as asylum-seekers.

In 2018, 52% of those with a migration background were German citizens while 48% had a foreign passport. Of the 10.9 million with German citizenship, about half received it at birth.

The top reasons for immigration were for family (48%), employment (19%) and education (5%). The vast majority of those who came for family or employment reasons were from European countries.

Only 15% of migrants, half of whom are from the Middle East, came as refugees seeking asylum.
