Can we get commitments from the EU to take a couple million refugees fleeing crime, despotic governments and seeking better economic opportunities from South and Central America?
There are currently more immigrants (legal and illegal) in the US (42 m) than the entire population of Canada. I think the US is doing its part.

I like this site because they don't really explain when an immigrant stops being an immigrant. Like, someone who has lived in the US since they were 7 years old and is now in their 50s is still technically an immigrant I guess, but why even bother with the classification at that point other than to stir up emotion.
