      XPost: alt.california.illegals, alt.politics.conservative, talk.politics.guns       XPost: can.politics       From: spinhead@cnn.com              GENEVA — The number of people forced to flee war is expected to       far surpass 60 million in 2015, the United Nations said on       Friday, warning that violence around the globe is likely to push       a record number of asylum seekers even higher in the coming year.              At least five million people were forcibly displaced from their       homes in the first half of the year, adding to the 59.5 million       displaced people the United Nations refugee agency had recorded       by the end of 2014. One in every 122 humans today is someone who       has been forced to flee from home, the agency said.              Most of the people on the move in 2015 were displaced within       their own country, but as many 839,000 people fled across       international borders in the first half of the year, more than a       third of them trying to escape the war in Syria.              To make matters worse, the funds available to help the       increasing number of people fleeing conflict had fallen far       behind the level of need, António Guterres, the departing United       Nations high commissioner for refugees, told reporters in Geneva.              “It’s clear humanitarian actors are no longer able to provide       the minimum support both in relation to core protection and       lifesaving activities,” he said.              Moreover, few refugees were able to return to their own country.       Only 124,000 such people returned home in 2014, down from a       million a decade ago. The United Nations reported that the       number of returning citizens dropped an additional 20 percent in       the first half of this year.              The refugee agency’s assessment came as the International       Organization for Migration said the number of refugees and       migrants crossing the Mediterranean to Europe would likely       exceed a million arrivals for the year in a matter of days.              http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/19/world/un-says-60-million-       people-have-been-forced-to-flee-war.html?_r=0              We don't want any more niggers in America.
