Germany Says It Can Sustain 500,000 Asylum Seekers Every Year

German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel says the country is economically strong enough to grant the asylums

German officials say the country is prepared to sustain a steady stream of asylum seekers from war-torn countries in the Middle East and Northern Africa over the long-term.

Thousands of migrants and refugees have sought reprieve in European countries over the past year, traveling from Turkey to Greece and spreading across the European Union. Germany alone is expecting 800,000 people to seek asylum this year, four times the number from 2014, according to BBC News.
