(2,337 posts)Yeah, there is a limit to the aid we can be expected to provide for tens of thousands. I'm not sure what your point is. We can't buy everyone a house and car, setting them up with all the advantages of a 3rd Gen citizen. They arent, and life is going to be hard for them regardless. All things considered, you're going to be better off here than in syria. The obstacles you mention are going to exist for both the men and women. May s well bring the more vulnerable over first in that case.
As to the second point, I can admit I'm not intimately familiar with the process. The afghans I see applying for asylum and getting their papers tend to do it as families. They tend to fly out of kabul as families too, from what i see. Not sure why it wouldn't be the same for syrians.
Cartels most surely will hunt down and kill your family, pets, and probably your lawn if they cant find you. They do it often. It's not really a debatable point. Sexism plays little into their goal of sending a message.
You seem to be under the impressing that every man left in syria not working for asad is either isis or wor king for them. That is not the case.
Goin to bed.typing on a tablet is killing me atm.
