They are 80 million and getting something like up to 2 million over the next 2 years... thats more than 2%, that is a huge number of people, refugee, immigrant or otherwise. That is a lot and they are unemployed needing benefits food and housing. The more I think about this, the more I'm having trouble understanding what the fuck the german government is thinking just on a numbers side of things. I mean how are they going to sustain those numbers.  Take that same number in america and your looking at 321 million (Thought it was higher) but your looking at roughly, .5% so half of a percent. It would A big influx but if your not say dumping that many people into one city your fine, and you won't have any major issues. If you sprinkle them out and assimilate them into the culture they disappear into america in 3 generations.
