Mediterranean Immigrants Part II

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-24636868

Alright everyone, the article above is a good read for the overall gist of the rising immigration to Europe, mainly from Syria due to all the violence recently. This article has a lot of helpful graphics. The basic premise is that Europe is getting a lot of asylum seekers from the east and south. They are coming from Russia, Syria as well as other parts of the Middle East, and Africa. Germany is holding the most, even more than the U.S. last year. Greece and Italy are the two places most of these refugees are landing. Syria is where most of the influx is coming from followed by Russia and Afghanistan. There are even some groups from Serbia claiming asylum from discrimination. Oh Serbia, will you ever not be a powder keg of ethnic tension?
