The odd thing is the the US is responsible for everything going on in the middle-east. The attack on Iraq completely destabilized the middle east. The mass exodus in Syria is the result of the US.

Wow, now you're literally obfuscating!

You post an article about the "total refugees" and link to an article about a LEGIT refugee camp in Jordan!

That's not the issue. Those people are safe in their camps. The issue is that the ones we see in the media, streaming into Europe, are able bodied, fit young men who are simply looking for economic opportunity.

Economic opportunity, in a continent that already has 25% youth unemployment.




At any rate, Sanspeur: As discussed before, Canada literally has room for at LEAST 100-200 MILLION refugees. Time to open up the frontier.

Even if that were true why should the American people have to suffer by taking in refugees that we don't have jobs and resources for and will be a taxpayer burden. Did our government ask us our opinion on foreign policy?

I agree with comment.

The bigger problem is the E/u and the ME not addressing the Isa Question. The solution and even our not so friendly Middle East Countries will and do agree that ISA is disrupting the peace and causing the mass exodus of the refugees.

First the EU and the Arab and Muslim Countries is going to have to ask themselves some hard questions. Saudi/ Quadar is engaged in Yemen. A sure sign these countries are making preemptive measures

It is equally important that Obama and the Clinton state department has not managed the policy,Iraq pullout properly. The adminstration did what was political correct inspired decision. . Not a longterm solution.
Forget Bush .
Lets Look at the last 7 years of Obama / Clinton !:rol leyes:

Leftists are absurd. Much as they typically use the word "immigrant" to describe anyone whose ancestors ever moved from point A to point B, so now they're now using the word "refugee" in the same manner. By their logic, the Normans were "refugees." I mean, why not? They were fleeing a critical loot shortage. The Goths and other barbarian tribes that overtook Rome would certainly qualify. But Europe rebounded after about 1000 years or so, so no worries right?
