If the willingness to convey asylum seekers affected the issue of refugees to thence apply for asylum thence the nighttime greenish colored countries on the map should necessitate hold the largest reddish dots. This clearly isn't the case. For example, Deutschland solely agreed 42% of asylum applications inwards 2014 in addition to silent it is past times far the close pop goal for asylum seekers.
