I'd be curious to see the percentage of migrants/refugees that are coming from war-torn regions such as Syria. My understanding is that many come from North Africa or elsewhere. Granted violence is also very high in these areas and the economic situation can be nearly as detrimental to quality of life.

I volunteer in a refugee center. Right now about 70% of the people arriving are from Syria. Most others are from Iraq and Afghanistan. If you look at statistics, remember that they often lag behind and currently show a large percentage of refugees from Albania, although that wave happened early in the year and has largely passed.

> your average syrian immigrant gets 1500euros

I don't know where you got that number, but it's wrong. A 5-person asylum family might get that much (depends on age of kids) if they don't get anything as materials and there is no reason to deduct anything. (Giving things vs money is debated a lot, currently it is swaying back to handing out things and less money)

>and while your average syrian immigrant gets 1500euros

That's nowhere close to reality.

Firstly, an "immigrant" will not get anything. They will get deported if they're not deemed a refugee. Most asylum seekers actually don't get asylum.

Secondly, if they end up getting refugee status/asylum, then they will receive about 300-400 euros a month (that's somewhere between 330 to 440 USD a month for the international crowd in here).
