Interesting read:

Are the Syrian Refugees All 'Young, Strong Men'?

Another article that argues the point:

You can recite all the statistics you want. This is what people see at the gates.

BS
Every, I repeat, every, mass photo and video I have seen shows the refugees to be at least 70% male.
Are you going to believe your own eyes or some United Nations BS?

If you look carefully, you'll see that the photo posted above was most likely taken in the Middle East, where most of the refugees are. The ones who have made it to Europe are a tiny fraction of the refugees and aren't representative of the overall population of refugees. That said, there are plenty of photos of mixed groups walking through Europe, too, they just aren't the ones favored by people trying to make anti-refugee claims:

Here are some in Macedonia

And Slovakia


And Croatia

And crossing the Sea

As for the refugees I've personally seen in Jordan, they were mostly women and children.

Most of the pictures of Syrian women and child refugees are actually taken in the Middle East and refugee camps in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, etc.. Almost all the refugees coming to Europe are young to pre-middle age males, ranging from 20-40. Very few are young and few are old. There are almost no females in the crowds. There is a report that the female refugees in the camps in Europe have been used as prostitutes and sold into sex slavery. They say since women are sharing the same rooms as men and with the lack of women, that many of these women are forced to have sex with multiple men in the camps. Instead of protecting their women and children, they ditch them and leave them to the wolves to find a better opportunity to themselves. What can be said about a group of people who cares nothing about their own women and children? Many of the refugees on the videos were caught bragging about how they look forward to having sex with European women, complaining about the "crappy" food and cold weather. For being poor, starving refugees, they sure are damn picky.. How about sending them to Saudi, Sudan, Algeria or Tajikstan instead and let their fellow Islamist brothers take care of them.

...or, they've heard how dangerous it is in the camps and opt to leave the women and children behind in the relative safety of the camps in the Middle East, while they scout out a safer situation to bring their families into.

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

It's time to stop spilling out blood for others who won't fight for their own country. How many refugees from Syria are there? How many still there?

If they all stopped looking for some place else to go when the place they have is right in front of them, how long would ISIS last?

If you want to leave your own country then you aren't ___________ anymore.

If you leave Syria, you aren't Syrian any more. You used to be Syrian.

If you leave America, you aren't American anymore either, you used to be American.

These are all countries, not a race.

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)

How do you know they are in camps? Many are living in Turkey. There is no urgency to leave. The word is out that you can get to Europe by simply walking across the border. Men as far as Afghanistan are coming. It is no surprise that they are mostly young, strong men. It is a grueling journey not fit for women and children. As for leaving their wives behind, they are not of marriage age. Mostly in their 20s. They are singles and don’t exactly look like your typical destitute, hungry and tattered refugees. Is that a Samsung Galaxy?

80% of the 'refugees' are fighting age males. Canada is only accepting women, children, and men with a family...no single males....I guess they prefer not to allow ISIS 'refugees' in to hit their soft unarmed citizenry...wish our President was supportive of our safety like Canada apparently is.
