this is not a Syrian or those stereo typical adventurers. His story is much more interesting. Is he an economic refugee? This is what he said.

His farm was about to go under in his home country, so he took loans. Then he couldn't pay his taxes there nor his finance charges. He was worried that his wife and kids become homeless and starving if he didn't help. So he did one last purchase and got a coyote to smuggle him here into France.

He works now here in France, and sends all his earnings back home to cover his family's debts. He lives in constant fear that anyone would inform on him to immigration, so he has no relationship with anyone and is 100 % alone lonely. He thinks constantly about his wife and children who he can never see now. His life is a form of hell in this kind of fashion. He is not abused, but constantly cut off.

So, how profitable is it to be an immigrant refugee? He can't go home or his family suffers. He gains nothing by his work in the west, because of his debts. What are his options? Do western people ever get into a situation like this?

What would you do in his shoes? I think this is very interesting.

His bad personal choices led to his life of 'desperation'. Lots of people lose their homes in the West too, we don't become illegal aliens in Syria.
