Ppl, stop with trying to make this a political stmt. This kind of sorrow and tragedy is evident the world over. Too many ppl have had it too good here and don't even want to consider that these ppl r desperate. Most would rather stay in their own country but due to climate change, war, famine and other problems, they are just trying to survive. For those of you who have no empathy, you are horrible human beings. You could easily have been born in these areas and you would be desperate for a place to go. The west has had the lions share of wealth and all you can do is dismiss this global plight.
