My (probably unpopular) opinion on arab refugees

[Homeless Nutter]

I was concerned about the wacky demographics of some of the refugee groups.  I'd be less concerned about women, children and elderly as opposed to males 20-40, which for some reason seemed over represented by a factor of 10X.

"Some reason"? Who do you think is going to attempt the difficult and dangerous journey, through war-torn countries and militarized borders, to alien, often hostile places, with no guarantees of anything? And who's most likely to successfully complete such a journey - adult men, or women with kids? It's not like most refugees get on a plane and end up in Europe, or wherever, a few hours and a couple of drinks later, to receive a house and a job as soon as they arrive - even if many people in our western bubble seem to think so. Of course the majority of them are going to be young males. Many of them will die on the way, but death's even more likely for women and children.

This is how immigration usually works: young males travel first, get a foot-hold - a place to live, a job - then they use the money they make and the knowledge of the immigration system, to get their families over. Going on such a trek with your entire family is dangerous and impractical and even desperate people will avoid it if they can.
