Aelia, I can't believe I missed this. Maybe? Check your facts. Are they not Afgahni and Sri Lankan refugees? There is civil war in these two countries. That is the root problem there, not overpopulation. Check your facts. The Sri Lankans I know (who want me to visit their country) have assured me it is a land of plenty. The seafood is some of the best in the world. Their teas are a sensation. War is the "plague".
