Quote:
The number of people seeking asylum in Germany this year will be as high as 1.5 million - almost double the previous estimate, German media report.
The German government has not confirmed the new estimate, which comes from an internal official report cited by popular daily Bild.
The report warns that services helping refugees will not be able to cope.
Separately, a centre-right regional minister put the expected total at 1.2-1.5 million for this year.

They'll also face a very considerable problem dealing with the hundreds of thousands of economic migrants not entitled to asylum, let alone removing them.
I was listening to a German MEP claiming that asylum claim rejection rates are very high in Germany so I think a lot of 'welcome' people aren't goint to feel quite so 'welcome'...
Good job it's all been so well thought through eh...
