Although not all of those arriving in Europe choose to claim asylum, many do. Germany received the highest number of new asylum applications in 2015, with more than 476,000. But far more people have arrived in the country - German officials said more than a millionhad been counted in Germany's "EASY" system for counting and distributing people before they make asylum claims.
I recall you also saying that you didn't believe that Germany took over a million migrants last year!! Many of those migrants threw away their documents so that they could pretend to be from Syria, indeed for quite a while they were just waved through from Greece all the way up to places like Sweden.
More than half of Syria's population is displaced due to the war, but rightists feel the need to invent fairy tales about people in random third world countries randomly getting a hankering to walk to europe in order to get welfare benefits.

I mean, 6 million have been dislocated out of Syria. Is it really so surprising that somewhere under a million of those wound up somewhere in Europe? Do we really have to invent stories about them all being from safe countries like Morocco? I mean Morocco isn't even on the list. The second and third are Afghanistan and Iraq, both of which are indeed war torn countries.
Why emigrate to Europe when Syria is surrounded by Muslim countries? Why aren't Muslim countries bearing some of the burden?
wow 370000 refugees. Imagine if they fought to liberate their country instead.
