These are Eurostat figures for Q3 - 2014 to Q3 - 2015. Around 1 million total immigrants, from various countries as tabulated. How many (from which countries?) do you believe to be in "real need"?
Syrians are only 25%. 20% are Albanians, Kosovars, Serbs. Only the top 3 countries *might* have genuine asylum seekers, and those don't even sum up to 50%.
Well, the German asylum law is complicated, and I'm nowhere near an expert on that.
But the figure you hear in the media here most of the time, is that ca. 40%-50% of the asylum seekers are accepted. Which means the remaining 50%-60% have to go. Hope our authorities make sure that happens swiftly.
And yes, you often heard in the media here that a rough half of the asylum seekers indeed are applicants from the Balkans, and that they have no chance of being accepted, as their countries are listed as "safe places of origin".
