[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the question is, if these are truly mostly refugees from war and not economic migrants, then wouldn't there be more women and kids?  Yes, economic migrants tend to be men first.

For example, if you look at some of the old pictures of Vietnamese refugees, or in any war, you see a lot of women and children, too.

In the recent case in Europe, it does appear, based on pictures of crowds, that you see more men than any other group.  Where are families of these men?  Are most of these men single?[/quote]

I agree with OP, if these were true refugees there would be women and children. There are obviously families in many of the pictures, but there should be way more women and children unless the men are just dumping them off somewhere to die.

I think the migrants should be helped, but there really needs to be some organization in place ensuring the families, women, children and elderly or sick get first priority and the healthy single men and women wait their turn.[/quote]
