      As with any influx, there will be some who are not genuine refugees. That's something to manage not a reason to turn away desperate people.

      "A few among you aren't refugees so we'll let all the rest of you be trapped in untenable situations." This isn't logic, it's an excuse.

      Managing a large influx is hard and expensive. Why, yes it certainly is. So plan and lead. Being trapped amidst war is also pretty hard.

      Here's a blog post explaining the legal status (and conundrum) of Syrian refugees in Turkey. Helps explain outflux. http://thedisorderofthings.com/2015/09/03/the-status-of-syrian-nationals-residing-in-turkey/ …

      In Lebanon, refugee families get only $13.50 per month for food because World Food Program is out of money. Of course they try to flee.

      Turkey, Jordan & Lebanon took in millions fleeing Syria. Ignored. Money ran out to feed them. Ignored. They flee. Oops, let's build a wall.

      Refugee crises are difficult problems. But this level of mismanagement and miserliness is very frustrating. This isn't World War II. /aaargh

          The fishermen had saved 14 from that boat, but they kept looking & looking to make sure they had everyone. Hence they found the baby.

          According to survivors, there may have been another 15 who did drown, including pregnant women. I hear such a story almost every day now.
