Generally, the numbers if you dig through everything:

- Before 2014, there were on average 250,000 refugees, immigrants and migrants who came into Germany.

- 2014, there were 450,000 refugees, immigrants and migrants.

- 2015, 1.1 million (although speculation is that another 350,000 probably slipped in and aren’t on some gov’t benefit program and doing ‘black’ work on the side).

- For 2016 so far, we are probably on track for 300,000 for the year....but how this Turk uprising thing plays out may change the numbers.

- From my prospective (living in Germany)...every arrest noted over the past two years involved in terrorism....has been either an immigrant, or second-generation German (their parents came years ago and they were born here).

- From the various culture within the immigration sphere, the Iranians are the most educated and job-capable (roughly 40-percent have a degree or skills)...equaling 19,000 in 2015 who came in.

- Crime-wise....it’s generally the North Africans (Moroccans normally) and various East European groups (Gypsies, Bulgarians, Moldavians, etc) who fall into the arrest reports typically. Syrians rarely if ever....get arrested for robbery, assault, or car-jacking.

- Current population of Germany....81-million. Of this, you can figure 3-percent are Turk-related in some way, and probably 1.5-percent are Syrian/Iraqi. Another two million fall into twenty odd nationalities. There are roughly 110,000 Americans who live, work or study in Germany (not related to DoD).
