[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A great thread - even more, why is the media NOT asking this question?  Why are Western gov't NOT asking this question? If you are Arab, how easy is it to assimilate into the US, Canada, France, the UK, or perhaps another, closer Middle East country?  
Some fantastic points were listed here. [/quote]

I googled "Saudi Arabia refugees" and found many articles, some asking why the Gulf states are not taking in refugees, others saying that they are but by a different name.  Here is an article about what Syrians want, which is not refugee status but to resettle:

OMG, they are actually claiming they are too poor to let the immigrants settle permanently.

"Therefore, the reason is purely economic. Our brotherly relations with the Syrian people still prevailed, and we opened our doors to them as much we could. But our economy cannot tolerate hosting refugees who turn into residents."

It's the 7th wealthiest country in the world in GDP per capital....

Isn't that what we say?  We don't want the illegals because they're taking our jobs? And we're wealthier than SA per capita, aren't we?
