If you're a refugee from a war zone hoping to stay permanently, Germany is the wrong destination. Once the fighting in your home town is finished, or the famine in your country is ended, Germany gives you a free flight home whether you want it or not. This policy previously surprised a lot of Palestinians who returned home with the ability to speak German and their children with a German education having hoped to remain in Germany for the rest of their lives. In each wave of refugees German employers ask the government for permanent residency to a select few who are making a big contribution. And of course full refugee status is granted to people who are personally unjustly persecuted, not being merely someone fleeing a war zone who returns when the fighting ends. Just as in the US and other law-abiding countries, refugees who are turned down for full refugee status have the right of appeal. If the process gets bogged down, the German government has plenty of administrative judges working in other areas who can be placed on temporary assignment. I'm not surprised that the rate of successful appeals have risen since the management consulting group McKinsey "streamlined" the admissions process, because streamlined too often turns out to be merely taking too many short-cuts and not following German law not really the specialty of a company populated by young MBAs. But many of those granted a favorable appeal will be turned-down by a higher court as they seek to make German law work the same for everyone. Germany is a pretty efficient place. The German Finanzamt could easily help Greece and Italy solve their tax compliance problem very quickly, but they don't take Germany up on their offer because they're not serious about creating a stable society in their countries.
