BERLIN, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 21: Frank-Juergen Weise (not pictured), the newly-appointed head of Germany's Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (Bundesamt fuer Migration und Fluechtlinge), and German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere speak to the media at Weise's first press conference since assuming his new office on September 21, 2015 in Berlin, Germany. Germany, currently inundated with migrants, is facing a backlog of over 250,000 asylum applications and is struggling to speeden up the processing period. Some applicants have been waiting over a year for the agency's decision on whether or not to approve their application and hence whether to allow them to stay in Germany. Germany is expected to receive up to a million migrants this year. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
