Richard Fernandez, PJ Media: Escape From Humanity

Drownings in the Mediterranean now account for 75% of all illegal immigrant deaths worldwide, the waterways filled with a constant stream of people from Africa and the Middle East fleeing their culture in the hope of re-establishing it again on the European shore. In 2014 the number topped 200,000, twenty times greater than number than four years before. The numbers for 2015 are on track to equal 2014.

The overwhelming majority now come from Syria, which is largely destroyed. ”The civil war, which began in 2011, has left over 220,000 dead so far. Over half the 22 million people of Syria have fled their homes since 2011. … Even many Assad supporters, living in the parts of the country largely untouched by the war, are fleeing.”
