Melech 9,900 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 "BERLIN (Reuters) - German authorities expect up to 1.5 million asylum seekers to arrive in Germany this year, the Bild daily said in a report to be published on Monday, up from a previous estimate of 800,000 to 1 million. Germany's top-selling newspaper cited an internal forecast from authorities that it said had been classed as confidential. Many of the hundreds of thousands of people pouring into Europe to escape conflicts and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and beyond have said they are heading to Germany, Europe's largest economy. Bild said the German authorities were concerned about the risk of a "breakdown of provisions" and that they were already struggling to procure enough living containers and sanitary facilities for the new arrivals. "Migratory pressures will increase further. We now expect seven to ten thousand illegal border crossings every day in the fourth quarter," Bild cited the report as saying. "This high number of asylum seekers runs the risk of becoming an extreme burden for the states and municipalities," the report said. The authorities' report also cited concerns that those who are granted asylum will bring their families over to Germany too, Bild said. Given family structures in the Middle East, this would mean each individual from that region who is granted asylum bringing an average of four to eight family members over to Germany in due course, Bild quoted the report as saying. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Sunday Europe needs to restrict the number of people coming to the continent. Chancellor Angela Merkel, who said Germany would grant asylum to those fleeing Syria's civil war, has recently seen her popularity ratings slump to a four-year low" http://news.yahoo.com/german-authorities-now-expect-1-5-million-migrants-203114800--business.html So many people.

kimchi 98 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Why do you think that's a good thing?We need the workforce.We need different cultures, so many people in Germany are still stuck in their backward, nationalistic way of thinking.Multinationality can foster innovation and increase productivity of a country IF the different cultures and races are equally treated and well integrated (that will be the biggest challenge in the next couple of years).

AM98GJ 3,086 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 It may be a good thing up to a certain point, but some sort of control is needed. A country can't just make provisions and space for an extra 1.5 million people this quickly. I applaud what they're doing but I feel like there's a chance this is going to get out of hand.....

kimchi 98 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Germany tries to doom the whole Europe again, for the 3rd time I just can't at those kind of answers. You would send those people back into a WAR ZONE or let them die on their way to Europe? During this crisis, many finally show their real face. "Pity? Yes, but please don't come to my country."

AM98GJ 3,086 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 IMO what the UK is doing is the best possible course of action. Taking families directly from the camps in Syria, so you can be sure they;re actually refugees rather than economic migrants taking advantage of the situation. A well respected British documentary show 'Panorama' revealed a lot of the men just stick with children and old and disabled people to be allowed through. The priority should be refugees not economics migrants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, help should be for those who really need , i.e. people really threatened by war Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
