    That is the total number of refugees hosted in the EU, not the yearly figure.

            And that’s still the total and not the yearly increase, although admittedly the total did increase recently quite a bit due to the war in Ukraine. And it is still a tiny number compared to the total population in the EU.

            You are confusing immigrants with refugees. Most of the regular immigration is due to people taking up jobs and is coming from nearby non-EU countries like the UK.
