This is a sudden increase in the working population of the EU. Mostly low skilled, low paid and filling jobs that are in short supply. It will benefit employers and bureaucrats. No benefits for the working or lower middle classes.
The overall effect on Government spending will be a disaster. Calculating a house costing $200,000 and housing 5, which is a low costing. Every migrant cost the country arriving $40,000 to put a proper roof over their head. Add wage reduction, tax reductions, health, education, social services and the cost will be huge. More debt or more taxes.

Poland has *TONS* of jobs. I can't fill my staffing needs because there aren't enough programmers and the ones that are left are monsterously incompetant. I interviewed a guy yesterday with 5 years experience and it would be a crime to let him program anything more then the time of day on an alarm clock. Amazon has warehouses here and they can't even find enough people to lift boxes. We do have incredibly low benefits, though - you are right there. Election coming up on sunday which will likely put the current gov't out and the major right-wing (fiercely anti-immigrant) party in, so there's a good chance that Poland will renegociate what was agreed apon as far as refugees and show more solidarity with V4.
As for the costs for germany, I agree - it's unsustainable and its a fucked up situation. People will be sitting in tent cities in -10c and the ones that are in school gyms and other such buildings will be pissed because of zero privacy and internal conflicts amungst each other - but at the same time it's unreasonable for the german people to foot the bill for free apartments for 1,5 million people.
As for housing in germany, $200k for a house might be in some rural area - but the government won't be buying housing - just renting. I know in the larger cities in germany it was hard rent an apartment years ago let alone now.
