15.11.19: I am wondering what you think of ramifications of current terrorism activities to our government refugee actions.
Some statistics:
Canada has fewer refugees per capita than 33 other countries
Imports: Wixipedia stats show the world (by asylum) has 7.3b people and 10.4m refugees, Canada has .16m refugees, China has .3m, India has .2m, USA has .45m, Russia has .04m, Germany has .57m, France has .2m, UK has .2m.
Jordan has the most at 2.5m, Pakistan has 2.3m, Turkey has 1.6m, Syria has 1.25m, Lebanon has 1.2m, Iran 1m.
Exports: Wixipedia stats by origin (in descending order), Palestine at 6.6m, Syria at 4.1m, Iraq at 1.4m, Somalia at 1.1m, Sudan at .5m.
Simply by the data alone, some idiot might suggest the smarter countries may be the exporters and not the importers.
Also, the data might suggest the USA is correct in being very analytical about who they accept.
It is difficult to fight the concern that countries should be be accurate in who they accept as refugees.
What do you think?

stick with the process we've had for years, it seems to be working and keep our fingers crossed that no hooligans slip through the net.
ReplyDeleteno knee jerk reaction to headline-capturing pictures of individual refugees especially setting unrealistic expectations during an election campaign.
make sure we give those who do come all that they need to be successful.
trying to assimilate too many at once will not work and will cost too much.
we have many problems at home and abroad that need to be addressed.
do whatever we can to fix the root cause of the refugee problem. eliminate ISIS in Syria.
