This is a story: Germany has taken far more than its fair share of refugees. Recent data from Eurostat shows that the country is responsible for 60 percent of all accepted asylum applications in the European Union; in 2016 it took in far more refugees (433,905) than the United States, which only granted 84,989 asylum petitions in the same year.
This is also a story: A report came out in the German newspaper Bild in 2016 that seemed to validate those who’d claimed that taking in refugees brought rape and crime. The paper reported that a “sex mob” of fifty or more “Arab” men ran rampant in Frankfurt on New Year’s Eve, sexually assaulting dozens of women and causing havoc.
