Refugees tire of Europe, want to go home
Sez LA Times in a marvelous clickbait headline
Refugees buying one-way tickets home after finding Germany intolerable Quote:
So what the fuck, people? I was half tempted to put quotes around "refugees". What are they, really? |
With the area in the constant turmoil of wars, and the food shortage from the drought, apparently some went with the smugglers promises of utopia hoping to grab the brass ring then have their families follow. Now finding out it was a hollow dream , are going back to their families, or to where the rest of the family sought refuge like Turkey.
1500 have decided to go back, out of 1.1 million who came, with 3000 more arriving every day, makes it a non-story. |
A small number of people lumped in with refugees are actually economic migrants. There are economic migrants even when there aren't wars, but the refugee crisis makes it easier for them to get through with the pack. It also makes it harder for them to make it when they do get through, which explains the ones who want to go back.
Smugglers find it important to sell people on it because they get paid up front, and an economic migrant may be able to pay more than an actual refugee. |
