Summary/Abstract: In the Federal Republic of Germany there is a visible growth of the importance of immigration policy, of the weight of the problem of integration/lack of integration of migrants with the German society is visible, and of the need for permanent monitoring of internal security threats and difficulties with their prevention and fighting them. Many researchers working on the internal security of Germany admit that the current threats are linked, by the majority of Germans, with the influx of immigrants to this country. The migrants are seen as a source of potential risks, dangers and internal conflicts. It might be argued that there is an undeniable correlation between migration and security in Germany. However, its character is complex, and it is an important research subject. The problem that is perceived by Germans as the biggest challenge, in this context, is thethreat of terrorist attacks. This paper aims at presenting selected categories of threats to the internal security of Germany, which are linked directly or indirectly with the influx of immigrants.
