Germany is a top refugee destination

Germany is the second-largest host country for refugees, after Colombia, according to a United Nations Refugee Agency “World Refugee Report” released yesterday. A total of 2.7 million refugees resided in Germany as of last year, 2.1 million of whom were Ukrainian, Syrian and Afghan. An additional 400,000 refugees have become citizens since 2016. The influx of refugees, beginning in 2015, has pushed Germany toward radicalization and a stronger, urgent craving for decisive Germany-first leadership.
