Or just young working age and......... terminally single?
A lot of these are men who simply don't have the assets to make them worth marrying back in their home countries. Or, just like anybody trying to emigrate, they just want money.
The oddest is when they come from war-torn countries like Syria or Somalia, and of course they're saying that they're running for their lives, etc etc. Yet they are young men and no women, or even older men and boys. Like did these guys to say, "Goodbye, grandma it was nice knowing you, but I got to go"?
If my family was in danger I wouldn't be cutting and running to another country and leaving them behind.
So, yeah, are these truly refugees? Not really.
