There’s a reason they are mainly young males: they are most likely to find work and can ‘make do’ with their living accomodations. But back home, there are parents, wives, children, unmarried siblings, and any number of family members waiting for their papers to arrive in the mail.

Steyn is right: the West is commiting suicide.
