I don't know what Sweden's policy is on deporting migrants with sick or comatose children is but I'd imagine it makes the whole process a hell of a lot more difficult.

I guess.

We have some differing definitions of the word 'sympathy'.

I sympathize with the homeless man on the street, doesn't mean I'm going to give him money. I don't feel the need to act on my sympathetic feelings. Doesn't make me any less sympathetic, just means I have different priorities than what you feel I should.
And it's not a me "problem".

Yeah but you also don't go on the forums and make fun of the homeless man either. Nobody's asking you to uproot yourself and become a humanitarian worker, just don't split on people with stufftier lives than you.

adding together all the former soviet SSRs in the top 30 here you come up around roughly 140k, if you're generous you can assume the other scraps bring it to 200k
syria and iraq alone are nearly 300k, and the rest of the north african/middle eastern countries add about another 200k (though its probably fair to say ethiopia shouldnt count)
should be noted that kosovo is about 95% muslim, which is apparently where the two girls in the second archive are from
