Promises have been made that can't reasonably be kept and nobody is going to like that. I assume you mean well, so do I, what kind of life are these people going to have? They would be better off in the place they came from, get away for a while where it's safe and go back and rebuild.
3.6 million migrants by 2020 is about 0.7 million per year. The lowest number of migrants that came to Germany in the last cca. 25 years is 0.66 million in 2006. The highest number was more than 1.5 million in 1992, while the average is over 1 million per year.

Lebanon is housing 1.2 million refugees at the moment. For comparison sake, Lebanon is 35 times smaller than Germany in area and 18 times smaller than Germany in population.

The fact that countries are manning the borders doesn't mean they're closed and refugees move even though that map shows red lines.

The doom and gloom theories are quite far fetched, and like in most cases, whoever wrote that article is too stupid or lazy (or has an agenda) to put the numbers they see into proper context.
