Interesting ... had not heard so thanks for posting.

You really can't blame people for wanting to flee and gain a better life.

A related question however is ...what caused the place they currently live to deteriorate into such an unlivable hell-hole in the first place? Maybe we can learn from their dysfunction and avoid it happening here?
