They will point to the asylum seeker numbers being comparatively low when juxtaposed to the total population number, but in reality asylum seekers are the one immigrant group that will less likely leave the country, once admitted. They're there to stay. This in contrast to foreign high-skilled labor and other immigrant categories.

It's also a cumulative problem. Each yearly number of asylum seekers is added on top of the previous wave. These are perennials, not inclined to ever go back to their countries of origin.

In a country with a housing shortage and an overburdened welfare system, these type of numbers are, of course, an insult to everyone else.
