Everyone who is saying that we shouldn't take more refugees is guilty of "I'm more important than you syndrome". The words that are used to describe refugees as migrants and asylum seekers is just a way to distracted from what they really are: PEOPLE fleeing from terror and war. You must have all been reading about whats happening and thought about how awful, people are being assassinated, beheaded, crucified, how can you think thats not right and yet not be willing to help the poor people who are fleeing it. When did we become a country that stopped caring about individual people?
Also there are a lot of countries who are taking more people than us.
Did you know this is the same kind of thing that was said about Jews feeling in WWII? in fact there is a daily mail headline from back then that is almost identical to one that was run recently. Even when we had half the people living in the country everyone still said there was no room, well there was space then and there's space now, and if there isn't we'll make it.
