UNHCR’s data show that 50.5 percent of refugees are women. Females age 18 to 59 make up 23.9 percent of the refugees, while males in that age group make up 21.8 percent. Even younger males — age 12 to 17 — represent 6.5 percent of refugees, while females that age are 6.1 percent. The majority of refugees — 51.1 percent — are under age 17, including 38.5 percent who are younger than 12 years old. These numbers were as of Sept. 6.

"Single men of combat age" represent only 2% of those admitted and the elderly comprise another 2.5%. The male/female breakdown is "roughly" 50/50.

I have never read more fear mongering nonsense in my life..it takes 2 or 3 minutes to do a bit of research, but maybe the truth doesn't fit the narrative that some people are trying to create...

Young able bodied single males need no protection. They can manage. If you had any sense you would refuse them to make room for women and children.

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?

You're going to find *******s in any crowd. Don't make the mistake of assuming they're the majority.

Oh, if it is so safe back home why the hell would they need to be refugees in the first place??? You ever think about that?


Umm.. your argument has been made void with simple logic.

In fact, refugee camps are suppose to be safe havens, not places where people are raped. It has something to do with the type of people staying that the refugee camps. Hint, hint, they are not all victims, but some are tyrants themselves. You could also argue their are no saints

But, in fact, the men are the ones who are seeking refuge while their families are left in danger. Leaving behind your fathers, mothers, daughters, wives and children to an unknown fate tells us something about the characters of these so-called refugees.


Let's compare the picture of Syrian refugees in Europe to refugees of WWII and Vietnam War:

Syrian Refugees in Germany:


Ummm, whoops , umm, don't you young fellas want to go and defend your country and protect your parents, wives and children you left behind?


Polish refugees fleeing Poland on their way to USSR in WWII:

How nice of them to bring their elderly, women and children along for the boat ride!

Vietnamse Refugees being evacuated in Vietnam War:

3. They do not wish to fight for their country

By left behind, I meant in Jordan, Turkey, and Lebanon, not Syria. I apologize for any confusion.

With whom would you expect them to fight? Remember, Assad was killing them before Isis started killing them.

The refugees are just going to stay in their country and just magically find pistols to go fight a guy with chemical weapons missiles and tanks. It would be the a mass slaughter. Honestly do you think if a war happened in America that everyone would just go and fight it out like the movies and besides the gun owners and vets/ police officers everyone would just start willingly holding a gun and possibly kill another person. This isn't the movies no one who had a regular life is just going to go and kill a trained soldier.
Also for the young men their is a human geographer who's model basically states young rural men are most likely to move among other things. It is called Ravenstein's Law of Migration, look it up. (I love human geography so I don't know why many people are surprised that the migrants who made it to Europe are young men)
