During Barack Obama’s final year in office, 10,000 refugees from Syria were brought into the United States. Hillary Clinton had plans to up that number to over 50,000, while President Donald Trump wanted to shut down our nation’s refugee resettlement program altogether.
Even if President Hillary had her way, refugee resettlement rates in America still wouldn’t be anywhere close to the resettlement rates in Europe. Just see the statistics for admissions in 2015 alone for reference:
So you’d think, with nations in Europe welcoming in refugees by the millions, they sure must be pro-refugee, right?
Wrong. Public opinion on refugee resettlement started off positive – then crashed like a North Korean rocket once the consequences became apparent, whether they be the rise in crime (particularly of the sexual nature), explosion in costs of supporting the welfare state (thanks to mass unemployment among refugees), and terrorist attacks on a weekly basis.
In light of that, it’s no surprise that Donald Trump’s refugee ban is even more popular in Europe than it is over here in America!
When Theresa May failed to immediately condemn US President Donald Trump’s immigration ban, she was lambasted by politicians and pundits.
Thousands of people protested in front of 10 Downing Street against a Trump state visit and the prime minister was branded “Theresa the Appeaser” — a nod to Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement policy toward Hitler in the 1930s.
But a new survey by Chatham House has found that there is plenty of sympathy for Trump’s ban in Europe.
Here were the results in response to the question “All further migration from majority Muslim countries should be stopped.”
In summary:
- Overall, 55% of the population from those ten countries agreed with the statement and 20% disagreed.
- In the UK, 47% agreed, 30% neither agreed nor disagreed, and 23% disagreed.
- Spain is the country on the list with the least people agreeing with the statement (41%) and the most people disagreeing (32%) .
- Poland is the country where most people agreed with the statement (71%). Only 9% disagreed.

Those who’ve borne most of the costs of the refugee crisis are second guessing whether or not it was worth it – and I’ll take their word over that of the bleeding heart liberals in our country.
