Germany says it can't cope with 800,000 refugees per year

AlQa'dah 5, 1436, Aug 20, 2015, SPA -- A top official said Thursday that Germany has been
taking nearly half of all refugees arriving in the European Union of
late, but cannot cope much longer at that pace, dpa reported.
Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere was speaking a day after Germany
said it expected a record 800,000 people, equivalent to 1 per cent of
its present population, to arrive and apply for political asylum in
the course of this year.
"This year we have to cope, and we will. But long-term, 800,000 per
year are too much for a country the size of Germany," said de
Maiziere during a breakfast show produced by broadcaster ZDF.
