The size of the cherry dots on the Refugee Distribution map represents the issue of asylum applications received yesteryear each province together with a choropleth layer shows the per centum of asylum applications accepted.
One of the arguments beingness used yesteryear roughly of Europe's political leaders for non accepting to a greater extent than asylum applications is that this volition alone encourage to a greater extent than refugees to caput to their countries.

If the willingness to convey asylum seekers affected the issue of refugees to together with hence apply for asylum together with hence the nighttime light-green colored countries on the map should require hold the largest cherry dots. This clearly isn't the case. For example, Deutschland alone agreed 42% of asylum applications inwards 2014 together with nevertheless it is yesteryear far the close pop goal for asylum seekers.


In fact the electrical flow crisis inwards Republic of Hungary is because the province is correct inwards the pump of i of the close pop migration routes to Germany.
