If we’re talking Europe as a whole, there are quite a few more refugees coming here. Around 6 million every year, according to the European Commission.
Source? Because that is not what the source you linked before says. And also highly unlikely because the global number of refugees according to the same source was 36.4 million at mid-2023.
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.
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.

Look at how much money the European states are spending on staffing up their militaries and compare it to what they’re spending to aid refugees out of the wars in North Africa and along the Russian border.
Look at the French involvement in the Libya Civil War from 2014 to 2020. Check out how they’re still trying to fuck around in Algeria and Tunisia. Syria has been subject to “liberation” since the Green Revolution of 2013, and guess what’s happened since.
Now we get an earful about how expensive things have become, as boats full of North African refugees show up on their shores.
Hundreds of thousands compared to what? That’s a rounding error compared to 450 million Europeans for example.

That is the total number of refugees hosted in the EU, not the yearly figure.
Nope, that’s 23 million.

According to the link above, 6.98 million people immigrated to the EU in 2022. In the same year, around 1 million new asylum claims were filed.

According to the source, yes, there are currently 36 million refugees globally. Around 10% of those are in the EU. That’s 3.6 million.
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.
Yes, I was conflating the numbers of immigrants with the number of refugees.
