Germany may receive up to 750,000 asylum seekers this year

{A record 107,500 migrants crossed the European Union’s borders last month, according to new figures Tuesday, showing they are arriving in dramatically increasing numbers and creating a humanitarian crisis for the 28-nation bloc. “This is an emergency situation for Europe that requires all EU member states to step in to support the national authorities who are taking on a massive number of migrants at its borders,” Frontex director Fabrice Leggeri said in a statement. Germany alone expects as many as 750,000 refugees to seek asylum there this year, according to media reports.}
