“It’s a mixture of Syrian/Iraqis (maybe around 40-percent)”
According to the EU, less than 20% of the migrants who have gone to Germany are Syrians.
If you use all of the 2015 numbers (released about a week ago)...the Germans will say that it’s upwards to 40-percent. I will add minor issue to this...after August of 2015 when they said that Syrians and Iraqis were the only ones on the 95-percent approval for visas list...the number of fake Syrian passports jumped in a substantial way. Anyone can buy them now.
But the Germans perceived the issue and the fakers get called in and eventually put into a different category, with almost no chance of a permanent visa.
The other little slant to this story...there is a percentage of the Syrians which is Muslim and a percentage which is Christian. The Germans are very careful about mixing the groups in a waiting center, and very careful about talking of the numbers in each group. It’s rarely discussed in any public forum with a gov’t guy.
