Yes, the capacity of a country of 325 million to absorb immigrants is clearly best compared to the capacity of a country of 5.2 million to absorb immigrants.
The U.S. has taken in half of the world's refugees in the last 100 years. The immigration laws of Norway are way strict, just like the day to day laws. A drivers license there is 3000 dollars and the state can take it away for speeding with no ability to appeal. 5 million people is not crowded for a country the size of Norway. UK has 60 million or something.

If Trump said something like that, it would be a news headline for sure. It's amazing for their resource extraction socialist paradise to function, they have to keep non-Norwegians out of the country.
I think the implication is that laws concerning beating children are different in Syria than they are in Norway, and it is a good idea to inform any immigrants who might want to stay in Norway that this is the case.
That might be true, but it's also a very nationalist statement that would fit right in coming out of Donald Trumps mouth, same with all the stuff about integration and stuff.
Personally, knowing a fair bit about how things work in Norway from my Noweigan friends and a Czech friend who works there, I'll take the U.S. people who glorify Norway need to know that they are backing up their socialism with heavy immigration control, protectionism and resource extraction.
