Hillary or Trump: Which of These is the Lesser of Two Evils?

Can't remember the number planned for this year for the refugees for the US, but I think the goal was about 100,000. They have already placed about 75,000 syrian refugees across the US in 2015.

Now they are threatening EU nations with fines for not accepting refugees, or illegal immigrants whatever they claim to be.

We will see how long the people put up with it, and how long the social services can maintain such a large influx. Guessing by the end of 2016 it's going to be a mess, and national debts will be increased. No one seems to care about the reasons why gulf nations refuse to accept these people.

100,000 people in America is... 1 person for every 3,000 current residents. In my town of 45,000, we'd need to absorb... 15 people. Maybe 4 families. That doesn't qualify as a "large influx" in my book.

Also, the math around "Saudi Arabia taking refugees" is highly politicized. What seems clear is that there are 500,000 more Syrians in Saudi Arabia now than there were at the start of the Syrian civil war. How many would be there even if there was no war, how many are expected to go back once the war is over... these are generally unclear. They're not officially referred to as "refugees", and Saudi Arabia isn't a party to the international refugee agreement.

But to say "Saudi Arabia is keeping Syrians out because they're threatening" is... misinformed. There are about 2.5 million Syrian citizens living in Saudi Arabia in total.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.
