Yeah, but this is a nation of 8-9 million, offering asylum to 2 million.

Legal Citizens only, the population of the US is 316 million. We can take in more refugees. 2 million is all of .6%, roughly.

We take in a pathetically small number of refugees for our size. certainly less than 100k people.

I know. It’s politics, sad to say.

It’s not even refugees - as an example, when I got married to the ex-wife, we went to the US Embassy to get her US permanent residency. The process was so complex and so needlessly aggravating, she didn’t bother going through with it.

In contrast, for me getting permanent residency in the Czech Republic, it took three hours. We showed the authorities our wedding certificate, I went to the Post Office to get an official document stamp, we were interviewed briefly by the Foreign Police, and BOOM.
