You describe them as economic migrants because it suits your prejudice to allay your conscience.These economic migrants chose this course of action,
Would you be ashamed of your inhumanity if you accepted that the vast majority were genuine refugees?
Every one else describes them as refugees:
http://info.arte.tv/en/where-do-refugees-come-where-are-they-goingAfghanistan, Syria, Somalia: more than half of the refugees on the planet come from one of these three countries plagued and undermined by years of war and violence.
There are more than a million migrants in EU:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34131911More than a million migrants and refugees crossed into Europe in 2015, sparking a crisis as countries struggled to cope with the influx, and creating division in the EU over how best to deal with resettling people.
But there are 5 million refugees from Syria and Afghanistan alone:
http://info.arte.tv/en/where-do-refugees-come-where-are-they-goingSadly, as in the past 33 years, Afghanistan remains the country with the most refugees (2,56 million). However, this year it is likely to be overtaken by the number of Syrian refugees, who constituted a total of 2,47 million in 2013; this number has not stopped growing.
Now what proportion do you suggest are economic migrants?
