You can recite all the statistics you want. This is what people see at the gates.
You are not looking at a photo of people who applied for UN Refugee status. That is a picture of people who landed in Greece, if you do a little research you will find that a good number of them are not even refugees, they are trying to take advantage of a poorly run effort to allow 'refugees' into Europe. Many of them are not even from Countries affected by war but are simply opportunists.
I'm not sure they can manage in a Country like Syria, but I think that's why the US accepted so few of them.
But why do you have to say things like "if you had any sense"? If I were your next door neighbor and we had this discussion would you stand out in the front yard and say that to me?
If you were my neighbor and were being attacked I would be shooting back. Its good to have good neighbors.

Detailing how many of the refugees are indeed young men.
They do not want to fight, they even say so.
Aso debunks several arguments from refugee sympathizers
1. These are not highly educated refugees
2. Over 60% are young men
3. They do not wish to fight for their country
4. They have little to NO identification or anyway to check their background or credientials.

There is a difference between the hundreds of thousands of self proclaimed refugees who have landed in Greece and the refugees who have been vetted by the UN, I'm not sure why that confuses so many people.
I had trouble loading the Time piece, because of the needlessly heavy video on the site. If you read down the page what you find are two different sets of UN numbers:
Set 1 is for 2,100,000 refuges registered in Egypt, Iraq, Iran and Lebanon, in that set 49.7% male, 50.3% female. I did not see percent children.
Set 2 is for 800,000 refuges in Europe. In that set 62% adult men, 16% adult women, 22% children. That equates to almost 3 adult men per 1 adult woman. Which supports Trump's (and mine) observation and contention that the Syrian refuges in Europe are overwhelmingly men.
Again, why are there so many more adult men than adult women entering Europe from Syria? (my guess is Egypt, Iraq, Iran and Lebanon are allowing the families and single women to stay, and telling the single men without strong family ties to leave)
Bumping this because it seems to be being ignored.
