Who permits the most asylum seekers/refugees?

This has been one of the biggest political debates in recent years, especially in places like Britain where controls and processing systems in place are ridiculously inadequate, plagued by inefficient bureaucracy and poor management. This in effect has managed to overwhelm most immigration authorities who often have little or no control and successfully monitor immigrant applications. The numbers speak for themselves quite clearly as now almost one-third of all total refugees head directly to Britain. It's important to note that these numbers can change over time due to evolving circumstances. Here is a list of some European countries and the approximate number of asylum seekers and refugees they have accepted:

  1. Germany:
    • Number of Asylum Seekers/Refugees -Accepted: Over 1.5 million since 2015
