Immigrants
Immigration is the international movement of people to a destination country of which they are not usual residents or where they do not possess nationality in order to settle as permanent residents. Commuters, tourists, and other short-term stays in a destination country do not fall under the definition of immigration or migration; seasonal labour immigration is sometimes included, however. Economically, research suggests that migration can be beneficial both to the receiving and sending countries. The academic literature provides mixed findings for the relationship between immigration and crime worldwide. Research shows that country of origin matters for speed and depth of immigrant assimilation, but that there is considerable assimilation overall for both first- and second-generation immigrants.

German-Argentine Culture
German Argentines (, ) are Argentines of German ancestry as well as German citizens living in Argentina. They are descendants of Germans who immigrated to Argentina from Germany and most notably from other places in Europe such as the Volga region, Austria and the Banat.

Today, German Argentines make up the fifth-largest ethnic group in Argentina, with over two million citizens of Volga German descent alone. German Argentines have founded German schools such as the Hölters Schule and German-language newspapers such as the '' Argentinisches Tageblatt'' ("Argentine Daily"). German descendants even make up the majority of the population in several localities in the interior of the country. German immi ...

German Dialects
German dialects are the various traditional local varieties of the German language. Though varied by region, those of the southern half of Germany beneath the Benrath line are dominated by the geographical spread of the High German consonant shift, and the dialect continuum that connects High German to the neighboring varieties of Low Franconian ( Dutch) and Low German.
