O’Malley wants US to take in 65,000 Syrian refugees

65,000 is quite a lot less than Germany's 800,000. O'Malley is like a Trump Junior (lol). Just kidding, yet this is an absolutely horrific proposal! 65,000 is like a needle in the entire Pacific Ocean, won't even make a slight dent out of the 11 million who are currently running from Syria.

While I understand that, it's very difficult taking in more and more people when there's already many Americans having difficulty in living day-to-day lives.  

There's a `clear difference between not having a ton of luxury and waking up each day not knowing whether you'll survive this day or not. You understand that difference right?

Wow, with a stance like this, I have to wonder if he is going to challenge Bernie for the coveted Tender Branson vote! O'M may not have a chance of gaining traction, but he may seriously affect Hillary's rhetoric...lol, nah Hillary knows he's irrelevant and this is meaningless.

Do you really think the 65,000 of O'Malleys make a dent in the 75 million killed in the second world war, the 11 million of Syrians currently fleeing from Syria or the 300,000 to 400,000 Japanese civilians killed by your president truely in those horrific days of August 1945, the worst days ever to be alive as a human being?

If the US wanted to make a stance, they'd say that they'd take at the very least 4 to 7 million! Anything less than that could basically be characterized as the second holocaust.

(Too bad that most Syrians are Muslims and not Jews, I guess Huckabee will cry for the remainder of his life.)

O'Malley desperately wants to be the voice of the immigrant community.

Too bad then that his number is 65,000. 65,000 is like the ant I kicked the other day. It wouldn't even show up in the statistics. It's like 0.5 percent. One in two thousand. Noone cares. If that's all America has to give, then better not! You're not that damn precious, sorry!

That would be a good start.

What the f**ck!! Are you right in your mind? It's nothing and if you delude yourself into thinking otherwise, then I guess you must be supporting Sanders ardently or something.

[eric82oslo]

That would be a good start.

It's even less than what Austria takes in this year (80.000) and the US has 40x the population.

Would be good if the US steps up their game, after creating all the mess in the Middle-East (or at least, being responsible for 50% of the mess there).

99.9% of the mess if you want to be honest. There's nothing to hide, or is there?
