You'd think they'd be smart about it. If you know a boat has a very likely chance of capsizing why would you take your family on it?
they were incredibly desperate to the point they'd take such a risk if it meant a better life for their family. this is what life is like for people living in oppressive countries. things like this should be an eye opener for people that are anti-immigrant. they are simply people trying to build a better life for themselves and their future generations and we should be doing more to help them instead of tragic situations like this occurring constantly now
