Bavaria Struggles With Record Refugee Influx

PASSAU, GERMANY - JULY 15: Refugees from Pakistan who arrived in Germany by crossing the nearby Austrian border sit in the waiting zone at the X-Point Halle initial registration center of the German federal police (Bundespolizei) on July 15, 2015 near Passau, Germany. Refugees, mostly from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and the Balkans, are currently arriving at a rate of up to one thousand per day in Bavaria. German police opened the X-Point Halle center, where refugees are identified, registered and undergo a security check, in an effort to cope with the record influx. After six to ten hours of waiting the refugees are brought to a preliminary refugee registration camp (Erstaufnahmelager), from which they are later transferred to other refugee facilities across the country. Germany has become one of the main destination countries for refugees seeking asylum in Europe and this year Germany expects over 400,000 refugees to arrive. (Photo by Joerg Koch/Getty Images)
