From the article: the Cologne Institute for Economic Research says government spending on migrants will hit 22 billion euros this year and almost 50 billion euros by the end of 2017. The cost of food and accommodation for 1.5 million migrants this year alone will be 17 billion euros, according to the Rheinische Post, with another five billion needed for language and integration courses.
The huge costs will mean the German government will likely have to find billions of euros of savings elsewhere.
