One thing I read once was that one of the most important factor for where to seek asylum is where there already is a significant community from the home country. According to that article there are also some nationalities that just pass through Germany because there are no established community of those nationalities.<p>And of course when you already fleet a long distance why wouldn&#x27;t you cross one more border if it likely improves your situation even if the other country already provides decent support? Nowhere do small differences matter that much as at the lower end of society.
