Dear Martina - they are migrants they moment they leave a safe country. True enough the ones that are in countries that border syria are refugees, but when you start marching across europe demanding entry into whichever country best suits your ambitions, you turn YOURSELF into an economic migrant. Could anyone actually give me a justification for continually arguing a point that has been explained to you time and time again? All these posts on here turn out the same way - the same trolls pushing the same message, yet never able to answer a simple question. Yes Egan and Andry, this directly applies to you. Given that the argument from them being called migrants is clear, what is the argument for them being called refugees when they leave a bordering country?
