The refugee population of Iran (prior to the start of the Trump War) was approx 1.1 million (mainly from Afghanistan) compared to approx 0.9 million in the USA (source: UNHCR report).
Migration flows to the USA as a proportion of the population are very small compared to entries to Turkey, Colombia, Pakistan, Uganda, Iran, Lebanon, or even European countries such as Germany and Sweden.
Countries who provoke mass migration by bombing civilian populations should take some responsibility for sorting out the resulting mess, in my humble opinion.
@SunshineGirl Americans welcome those who destabilized their own region but killing for the USA. Welcome Allies is a program that brought the most violent and their politically conservative families to the USA. How many sleeper cells? Violence is most welcome.
@SunshineGirl yeah well I don't think there's any excuse for running a country like the Islamic Republic of Iran. If all countries were more like the US there would be less migration. The reason why terrorism was allowed to thrive in Afghanistan is because of their own terrible regime. Not saying I am pro war at all! I'm a Christian. I think war should be a last resort only. But those displaced people are because of the Afghan war, which was because the country was a Middle Ages theocracy with no interest in control over the rule of law... Just saying I'm tired of people talking like the US is the worst place in the world when most people would do very well to live here.
@TradEmily you're continuing in your genocidal idiom moving people about as a nation, a project. I'm sure I do understand exactly why you're "unaware" of "my" point. Honestly, I should never be talking. USA never genocide. Not sees not see.
@TradEmily absolutely. Like green energy and public transportation that's non lethal - makes absolutely no sense! Not for you. Doesn't make sense! Why, whatever would I even mean talking about the ongoing pattern of genocide fueling the US population. What genocide of today could even be related? Not sees not see the same things every day.
@TradEmily it's not something Americans are planning for, through politics. Like there's no food production plans, no housing or community development plans,- like a genocide, but accepted.
