Refugees

So what do we do with them? That's the question. Many European nations have closed borders and will not allow them in. We took in some but what we have to take them all in?
"What tripped up the pollsters during the U.K. vote was an unexpectedly high turnout among white working-class voters. Many people within this demographic said they were angry with a complacent political establishment for putting a project of globalization and immigration ahead of their communities." -NBC news
I don't even think it's relatively white as legal us Latinos and blacks turned out and not a win for trump but 36% of Latinos voted for him. As they are legal and would like to keep there jobs as well as menial as they are.
So what are we supposed to do. As Europe is trying to force us to take them. We do have our own problems with keeping Americans employed. This issue isn't as black and white as people seem to think.
I see posts and videos about the refugee struggle. Would you let a couple crash at your place? I highly doubt it. So what do we do about it? Personally I think it's none of our business. Because there is no right answer. But Europe has given a resounding fuck off to them so now it's our decision.

That's bullshit. America has not accepted that many refugees. Obama only set to accept 100,000 of them by the year 2017. Anybody who says otherwise is just trying to stir the pot and start shit when there isn't any issue.
And that 100,000 number is for ALL refugees from ALL countries, not just Syria. The allotted number for Syrians accepted is set to 10,000. Which really isn't that many. 100,000 refugees won't hardly make any difference.

No not at all. Depending on where they go.
Actually I'm kind of curious they were in the 100's of thousands. Than Donald said something and we all promptly forgot about them. I know a lot of European countries were closing borders. Did they mostly just go to Eastern Europe?
Damn media is powerful it was big news for a couple days and then we collectively forgot about it and put it in the not my problem file. Eh I'm sure it'll all work out.
The town I live in is flooded with illegals. Lots of Mexicans which doesn't bother me. I have Mexican blood and speak enough Spanish to get by. They cleaned out a couple businesses as of recently they were using the same ss for all of them. paying them 40% on minimum wage.
A lot more of this town became employed after that. Think it was about 300 of them.

Most of them went to places like Germany, UK, Austria, and Sweden. They aren't welcome in most of Eastern Europe. Russia for instance doesn't accept them at all. Germany and Sweden actually accepted so many they're having numerous problems because of it.

Yea exactly. Where do we put them. How do we pay for this. Etc etc etc. As they're coming they're broke and hungry.
Makes sense eastern Europe didn't they've already got too many problems. So do those countries. So do we. It's inhumane to not take them in. But it's also a burden on everyone trying to deal with it.
It's not black and white. It is strange how we seemed to completely forget about it though. Well it isn't on our doorstep. Luckily Canada is a stable country and I have no problem with Mexicans. They work hard and are pretty chill if you can speak semi fluent Spanish.
I think it's more or less because they can't talk behind your back before they know I understand them they talk a fuck ton of shit.

Lets look at the bright side, if Trump goes nuclear in the middle east, Europe will get TENS of millions of refugees to combat our problem with an aging population, and nuclear winter will cancel out global warming.

I say we buddy up with Russia and China. Top 3 powers. Divide and conquer the rest. Split it. Game over.
Then we don't have to worry about stupid countries doing stupid shit all the time where we have to be the world police. We already own it. Obviously we get south America. Ruskies and China can fight over there side of the world.
Than we swoop in and take it all. That's personally how I'd play this game of risk out.
Canadians can easily assimilate. We've had no quarrel ever.

you guys need to stop being so negative/pessimistic. Let's see how this goes. It's already happening unless some freak thing pops up.

I'm perfectly fine. Actually quite happy with the results honestly. I'm optimistic about the entire thing. Everyone has been doom and gloom. Who knows might be the best president we've ever had.

The vast majority of those people are economic migrants, not "refugees".
Leaving Africa because it's population is exploding doesn't make a person a refugee.
The reason why they left their homelands is because the EU temporally opened their doors, it's basic commonsense to migrant to a better part of the world if the door is open.
