If the Dublin Regulation is not revised or replaced and if the emergency relocation plan for 160,000 asylum seekers is not implemented , then the first countries of entry for migrants into the EU will continue to be overwhelmed by the ongoing influx of refugees and asylum-seekers . If these countries continue to be overwhelmed , people may not receive the resettlement services that they need in order to establish a new life , and this may affect domestic European political unrest .
