[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 667898, member: 14557"] Among people coming there are many type of people from different situations. However one typical story of these youngish men coming is following: They are married men with kids. They have left their unsafe home with their families (wife, kids, parents, younger siblings etc.) and ended up to Turkey to areas where there are more refugees than locals. No jobs, no school for kids, living in tents, living from charity. Trip to Europe and through not welcoming Eastern Europe is dangerous and expensive. Survival of the fittest. Families gather everything they have to pay for human traffickers and young, fit man leaves in hopes of getting to Western or Northern Europe. If they are granted asylum, then, according the laws of many of these countries, they can ask, and are granted, permission to reunite their family. In other words their wife and kids and often other dependants are brought to a new country safely by plane, with visas and on governments dime. People in these camps who really are desperate and without real safety do know this very well, so for them it makes all the sense to send a young man and hope he makes it and women, children and elderly can follow more safely. It is a huge issue to vet out those who actually have a need for safety and those who come for other reasons. And while children and women are more sympathetic, one has to remember that in certain type of conflicts, and Syria is kind of like that, young men in fact are even the most vulnerable people. They are the ones whom different sides of conflict want to arms. And in conflicts like Syria there really isn't a side one would like to pick. There are so many sides in this coin. To be frank, very Middle Eastern type of an issue. No easy truths, nor easy rights or wrongs. [/QUOTE]
