The article refers to them as refugees.
"A refugee, according to the Geneva Convention on Refugees[1][2] is a person who is outside their country of citizenship because they have well-founded grounds for fear of persecution because of their race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, and is unable to obtain sanctuary from their home country or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail themselves of the protection of that country;[1][2] or in the case of not having a nationality and being outside their country of former habitual residence as a result of such event, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to their country of former habitual residence.[1][2] Such a person may be called an "asylum seeker" until considered with the status of "refugee" by the Contracting State[1] where they formally make a claim for sanctuary or right of asylum.[2]"

I don't see anything about economy qualifying them as refugees. So where did you get the info that they are economic migrants?

But only 55% of them are syrian! A 1/2 are from afganistan, and the rest are from Africa! That means 45% don't even have an excuse to leave their countries!

Not even 55%, only 40%, straight from the EU's mouth.

No. Said countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran who use these weapons to fund terrorist groups in the middle east for a high standard living for themselves should be held responsible. Its not always Europe and NA's job to help everybody!

Well, I was asking general questions, so give them another shot without thinking of specific countries.

No, I do not believe countries who sell weapons should be responsible. Countries that funnel these weapons to terrorists should be responsible, as they're the ones giving it to them! Oh and BTW, those gulf countries haven't taken in a single refugee yet



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
