Germany and Aslyum

From 1995 to 2007.....every single year.....Germany had fewer and fewer successful applicants.

In 1995, based on data from BAMF, the country had around 166,000 applicants.  By 2007, they were around 30,000.

Then in 2009.....you could see the shift....roughly 35,000, and by 2010, they were at 50,000.  Last year, 2014.....they were at 202,000.

The sixteen states of Germany are fairly furious.....these asylum seekers are the personal responsibility of each state, and they aren't getting enough funds to cover costs.  So, there's a demand for a state-to-federal government meeting, which will occur today.

From what the German media says.....it'll be a informal meeting and statements by the states and government will be given.  Based on various comments.....no one expects much to occur until after the summer vacation period, and even then.....no one is sure about how the funding will work, or if the government will suddenly say there's a definite limit to refugee status.
