Migrant crisis: Can the US take more than 10,000?
BBC News ^ | SEPT. 11, 2015 | Paul Blake

The Obama administration has said it will allow 10,000 Syrian refugees to resettle in the US over the next year. Is this enough? And are there any risks? An estimated 340,000 asylum seekers have arrived in Europe this year, coming from as far as Eritrea, Iraq and Nigeria.

But the largest portion are coming from Syria, and US officials have been at pains to show how much the US is giving in aid.

According to the White House's National Security Council, the US is the single largest donor to the Syrian crisis response, having given over $4bn (£2.6bn) since the crisis began.

But some, such as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon's special representative on migration, have said that throwing money at the problem is not enough - it's about taking people.

We’ll take the same as Saudi Arabia, even per capita.

The US should not take any! Let them migrate to other parts of the ME where their behavior is accepted.

I don’t even want to take 1.

In fact, I want to deport anyone who even suggests it.

POS Obama is going to get in as many as he possibly can. That means many more than 10,000.

The Saudis claim there are two and a half million Syrian refugees there already. I don’t suppose they have any more control of their borders than we do.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon is right...it is not about money.
With that said, he should ensure all countries contribute to pay fair rent for the United Nations building in New York City.
Per the wishes of the Secretary General the United States should halt all economic aid while we contemplate other avenues.

Ban-Ki Moon is not an American. When Americans want any crap out of Ban-Ki Moon, we’ll unscrew his head and dip it out. Four billion American taxpayer dollars and that fag is pissing and moaning because we won’t take the sewerage also? How many of these terrorists is his beloved Korea taking? I haven’t heard yet. If he can’t give us a number, he needs to Sierra Tango Foxtrot Uniform. Ban-Ki is nothing to me but a pile of dog excrement.

“Obama said 10,000 because he knows that it will be in the hundreds of thousands”.

Of course he does. They do it all incrementally. start small and go big.

Frog in the pot.
