ARD, public TV....Channel One, had a report today over migration and asylum.
If you go by numbers.....asylum seekers are on the decline in Germany. Added to this....the BamF folks (handling the approval or paperwork) say that they've shortened the time for review (course it helps to have fewer applications).
Right now, it appears to take near seven months to reach some approval/disapproval stage (improving two months over a year ago). If you went back a bit more....it took almost a year to reach some conclusion.
According to the government, they spent near six billion Euro last year on asylum seekers....with most going to males (figure near two-thirds).
On numbers....roughly 20-percent were from Africa....20-percent from other European countries, and the rest from mostly Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan.
Whats all this add up to? Basically, the large scale situation of 2015 has not been repeated, and you can put some of the success upon countries closing their borders between here and Greece, along with some folks realizing this immigration thing in Germany wasn't that brilliant of an idea. It is a mixed bag. The six-billion Euro a year? Well....you would hope that after two to three years, the guy or gal would be in some job situation....earning pay and paying taxes. So the six-billion ought to decline a bit in 2019 and 2020 (unless the spiral picks back up).
