He's definitely right that we should be doing more. 65,000 people ain't that big of a deal.

Still, I do always find the immigration/refugees numbers game a weird political football sort of thing. The numbers are unfailingly arbitrary. Why 65,000? Why not 66,000? Why not 600,000? Why not 6 million? The trouble with this issue is that all of that racism and insensitivity accusations can be made with just as much validity regardless of what you're proposed number is unless it's infinite.

But yes, we should be doing much more.

Send them to Detroit. Seriously. There's a large Levantine population there already, and the city could use the influx. In fact, send a million of these middle class refugees.

Honestly this isn't a completely terrible idea.
