As a white Canadian male.

Look at what's happening to Merkel's policy in Germany. She has lost half of the country's support after being TIME's "Person of the Year" for her approach to refugees.

Great comment!

Did you remember to set that one hour ahead on Sunday?

It's not racist at all, as a fellow citizen I feel the same way. War is terrible and it affects innocent people, I think Canada could have helped in a better way than flying people over and plunking them in a completely different country and saying "There you go, try and figure out your new life, oh by the way we have no jobs"

I'm no trump supporter but. I don't trust a single one of them

Thanks for making my point.

So you think Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon have great welfare systems?
Or perhaps you don't realize how many refugees have gone there....

Yeah, that meme is false as your above, lol, as I've explained in it's comments.
Hint:
Turkey-- 2.7 million Syrian refugees
UK-- less than 10,000

LOL, they only want to go where they'll be taken care of at taxpayer expense. Jokes on you.

So you're saying Turkey and Lebanaon and Jordan are awesome welfare states. Got it.
And they're going there not because of a war where they live but because they want that cushy life there. Got it.

Sure they are.

Are they settling there or using those destinations to jump a ride into Europe?

Well, considering it's been about 5 years... don't think that's working if that's the plan.
Turkey-- 2.7 million Syrian refugees
Sweden-- 105,000
UK-- less than 10,000

But no, that's not how it works, anyway. They have fled into neighboring nations, and the UN then takes months and months (18+ often) to find them a spot in another nation (and they have no say in the choice).

There will always be those who will just enter some nation illegally, but when they do that they get zero of that "welfare"... so that number doesn't really help the "they are welfare mooch migrants" argument.

If those numbers are accurat, that certainly outnumber the isis folks, why the f**k are they not standing yheur ground, arming themselves and fighting their own f**kin battles? You can be damn sure something like that happened in Canada or US, not too many folks are gonna flee.

Because over half of the refugees are women and children, and many of the rest are fathers helping get their kids to safety....

It's easy to imagine that one would stand up and fight as an unorganized group against an organized and larger force attacking one's town, but when thrown into that situation with no organization, no supplies, and no heavy weapons, and the next town over already overrun by one of 3 armies battling for the ground, most would do the wise thing and flee to safety, quickly.

But then technically aren't all immigrants (legal and illegal) welfare migrants? They don't move specifically for the services granted in the USA, but they still use the welfare system, same as citizens. And below, Syrians are headed to both Turkey and Jordan, where welfare systems are nonexistent, "welfare migrant" is probably a bit of a blanket statement.

Exactly zero of the Paris attackers were refugees from Syria.

Interesting. I didn't know that before. Must have been quite a convincing passport to fool the authorities.

Lol

Why don`t you think Saudi Arabia won`t even take in Syrian refugees?

Because Saudi Arabia is completely f****d. The belong to the Wahhabi sect of Islam, which is the same branch Al-Qaeda identifies with. The Syrians were Sunni, I believe, so the Saudi dictator (sorry, king) wouldn't want to let in people with ideas that are contrary to his own interests.

It already has along with free trade.

Thank you

Canada accepts about 250000 immigrants per year; if you only started becoming concerned about how immigration will affect the economy when, in 2015, 10% of immigrants happened to be Muslims from Syria, then yeah, you're racist.

Yes. Some socio-economic issues, but also the fanatic bullshit.

But what does that have to do with legal Syrian war refugees? It takes MANY months to get out of the crowded refugee camps in Turkey and Jordan and other places that have easy entrance, and even then the refugees do not get to choose were they go. If someone were a terrorist, it would be infinitely easier and quicker to just get a tourist visa to the country or a country near the country you wanted to attack and enter illegally. There is no reason for the terrorists to even try to get through the vetting process set up, they can just do what possibly two of the Paris attack bombers did-- get to Greece or Turkey as a "refugee' then sneak to France with a fake passport.

I agree, but just out of curiosity, are you a Trump supporter?

He's canadian xD

It would only be racist if you were allowing an influx of immigrants of your preferred race into the country while denying others. Just another example of Liberal's miss-use of the word "racist" to get what they want.
