There’s almost nothing in the MSM coverage of the Syrian refugee crisis noting that there are many good reasons for wanting to keep these people out of your country.
If you want to know what a people are like, look at the country they made. If you want your country to turn into a version of Syria, import Syrians. If you want your country to turn into a version of Africa, import Africans. If you want your country to turn into a version of Mexico, import Mexicans.
Syria’s neighbors know what a disaster Syrians are, so they keep them out to the extent they can.
Washington Post: Like European countries, Saudi Arabia and its neighbors also have fears over new arrivals taking jobs from citizens, and may also invoke concerns about security and terrorism. But the current gulf aid outlay for Syrian refugees, which amounts to collective donations under $1 billion (the United States has given four times that sum), seems short — and is made all the more galling when you consider the vast sums Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. poured into this year’s war effort in Yemen, an intervention some consider a strategic blunder.
