This year, almost 265,000 border crossers were apprehended at the southern border of Hungary, compared to 114,000 in the same period last year. Migrants are now also arriving from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India.
In terms of economic problems, one only has to look at Germany, which has seen mass influxes of migrants in recent years.
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that while the country is a magnet for migrants, there is still a labor shortage, and therefore a need for working people. However, it is not possible to employ asylum seekers since they have no skills or knowledge of the language, meaning that they will probably end up being supported by the state.
According to the paper, only one third of the 800,000 Syrian and Afghan nationals of working age living in Germany have tax-paying jobs, despite the fact that most of them arrived more than five years ago.
Another change this year is that migrants are becoming increasingly violent at the border, and in many cases they are armed and not afraid to use their weapons.
After this year’s record-breaking numbers, it is not clear yet what to expect next year, but seeing the upward trend, Europe might need to prepare for a huge wave of illegal immigrants in 2023.
