  • I agree that any solution which doesn't address the root cause of migration (civil wars in Syria and Iraq) will only extend the problem. However, I think the refugee issue is being conflated with the larger issue of immigration and integration of immigrants. The two are separate. Refugees are a short-term, humanitarian issue, and in raw numbers (thousands, even tens of thousands) actually make up a tiny percentage of global migration. Immigration is a social and economic issue dealing with long term trends and tens of millions of people. You cannot base your immigration policy on accepting or turning away refugees. Different policies are required.

      • Why would [i]America[/i] take them in? They caused this by helping create ISIS, arming training and outfitting them, then letting them run wild in the East. No one wants their help, let Europe clean up the mess.

          We weren't even the cause of these refugees, it was the Syrians themselves during the Arab spring

            Well, if the US is willing to pay hundreds of millions -- billions when you include the TOWs/unannounced lethal aid -- to assist in destroying Syria, it should be willing to help alleviate some of the damage. Particularly given that a wonderful friend of mine is a refugee from Hama, I'm inclined to support US lending [i]real[/i] assistance in addition to the lethal aid we provide rebel factions fighting Mr. Assad.

                  America and Canada are bigger than all of Europe. Stop being a little bitch. Well, I imagine they're bigger. In any case, there's definitely more free space over there.

                            • Sounds like a EU problem, NOT a US problem. We aren't the world police and we aren't the world daycare... The world wanted us to stop sticking our nose into things, there you go. Besides, what are those pussies in Europe upset about? its just a constant flow of people their infrastructure and economy aren't built to handle.
