Europe is experiencing the biggest refugee crisis since World War II. Based on data from the United Nations, here's a clarification of the scale of the crisis.

--- LINK ---

The map under the link here shows the flow of asylum seekers to European countries over time.

Each moving point on the map represents 25 people. That corresponds to approximately one busload with every other seat taken.

You can hover over countries to show details, or click on a country to lock the selection. The counts shown on hover represent the number of people who have left or arrived in a country since 2012.

The line chart displays the total rate of asylum seekers over time. Hover over the chart to move the map in time.

There are also interactive charts showing the monthly total refugees originating from and seeking asylum in different countries.

A few buses of refugees, upon arrival here to Sweden, refused to get off the buses when they realized how cold it was here in winter. They demanded that they be transported back to Germany.

I'm not sure if they're aware how cold winters are in Germany.

I want a house too! And a car, and some weekly pay if possible. Also, do you have a yacht or two to spare? I wouldn't mind living in the forest next to a lake, either. I heard those migrants were unhappy that they were being sent to a rural area, and wanted in the city instead. I won't be so picky, I promise.

Now, where do I show up to attest to my refugee status?

What, there's a Schengen barrier for Bulgarians? But, but, I'm a fellow EU citizen! What do you mean, Syrians and Iraqis have a precedence over my needs!?

Hey, I'm just a hypocritical Realpolitik-loving Erapean. You can't expect much more from me.

Now go back to your work and guard my borders for me, will ya.

Reminds me of a tweet by a popular publicist here:

"We live in strange times, my friends. I never thought I'd live to see Middle-Eastern people rushing to the trains with the hope of getting into some camp in Germany".

Apparently they don't want your rustic country houses either. It's either new apartments in the city or nothing.
