This morning, ARD (Channel One, public TV in Germany) had a short update on immigrants, asylum-seekers, and migrants in Germany.
The total number for 2017? The government now estimates that by the end of November.....they were at 173,000....so you can figure by 1 January.....it'll be less than 200,000.
Near the average of thirty years? Yes.....on average, they used to be around 200,000 to 250,000 per year, which is a big difference from the 2015 number of 900,000 to 1,000,000.
Last year (2016), it was near 280,000.
The big difference? The route from Greece to Germany is blocked, and the incoming crowd from Italy are stuck in waiting centers because of the limited flow out to the EU countries.
