How many, what %, depends on the time frame. The Brit tabloids make that claim based on April/May/June arrivals before the Syrian influx starting in July. Does it matter which war torn country they are escaping from? Economic opportunity? You make it sound like they quit their $2 a day job to come here and be rich by working at walmart. When years of drought have made food scarce and ducking bullets hard to forage, I guess the chance to earn money and use it to feed the family could be called economic opportunity.
