Ms Jennifer DeWan:

There is definitely rhetoric about bringing the right sort of person here and it comes into the security discussion. In the identification of individuals in the relocation process we ensure the people who come here from hot spots in Greece and Italy will be the right sort; that means families, as they are perceived to be a lower security risk. Women are perceived as posing a lower security risk than young men on their own. We argue that this is a major barrier in dealing with unaccompanied minors, the bulk of whom end up being young men.
