    I mean...how do countries cope with all these refugees seeking asylum...and can they choose who to allow in? Of course many are in genuine need but...according to our news reports...some are just looking for an opportunity to get into a country that is more prosperous than their own. Australia is now accepting (legitimately) 12,000 Syrian refugees and looking at the majority of them...they are not mal nourished..the actually look quite prosperous so...are the real refugees (the ones that really need help) being left behind because the are to poor/undernourished/misguided to come forward???

    One of my sisters told me that empathy was not one of my stronger points but this poem really moved me

    Yes..most of Noura's poems move me as do members from other countries but...I wonder now..they still seem to be able to attend uni even although what is happening in their country so...what is really going on ..

    I'm not too familiar with the refugee situation, since I'm not experiencing it firsthand like Europe currently is.

    ^^^^

    That could very well be about to change...

    I aspire to the DOHR, that being said, you're going to have Opportunist's no matter how you look at it, in almost every situation like this we've had them, some criminals that look forward to amassing great wealth, some hiding out, and some just taking advantage of a situation, but the needy far outweigh those others, so in the long run, each gate that opens adds value to the world.......Also understand, that there will be agencies and even governments that will use this for their own agendas as well......
