And I disagree.

If you're talking about the US, the economy doesn't really 'suck' - it's certainly much better than it was eight years ago.

Also, the police do not handle Syrian refugee (or other refugee) applications - those *start* at the UN and come down to Federal agencies already in place.

As for costs of 'thousands' of refugees - we've only allowed in 2,200 since 2011 from Syria. And we only cover 'services' for 90 days. They are *all* expect to find jobs and become self sufficient (and statistics say they do more readily than natives. See first link.)

Education and etc. is not being cut *because of refugees* - it's being cut because certain of our government minions believes an under-educated and desperate populace is easier to control. All signs point to 'yes' on that front.

Like i sad - trolling.

I'm not talking about the US. I'm talking about European countries that have only a few million citizens. Suddenly getting tens of thousands of refugees and hundreds more marching in every day IS straining the system badly. And yes, it's our police that has to handle their applications and move them forward in the system. So sorry if we are not feeling the "Welcome all, open doors all day, every day" attitude all that much.

Well, many of your fellows seem to disagree with you. I'll let you hash it out with them, since it's not US policy/economics we're talking about (and you don't get specific), so I can't know if your claims are 100 percent true, false, or somewhere in between.

I think this video sums up how, really, we CAN help the refugees. It's just overblown fear feeding an insular group-think and prejudice that keeps people saying no. Kudos to the countries that are actually stepping up.

syrian refugee's in a nutshell

In the US, it's xenophobia and racism and the GOP. Kind of par for the course in the US.

There's no video link, sorry.

Not just the GOP. There are plenty of Democrats that are sprouting the same nonsense.
