- Manuel_D 5y agoNow that's moving the goalposts from the notion that Americans should be worried that their own home will become inhospitable, and that it will happen to some other region. Remember, this document is about American teens. And regardless, no, that shouldn't be cause for dread either. Those 200 million estimated refugees are spread out both geographically across the globe and across a century time-wise. There's 45 million immigrants living in the US currently. Even if half come to the US, it's hardly an apocalyptic levels of immigration.

- adrianN 5y agoI'm concerned because I remember what a relatively low number of refugees did to European politics over the last couple of years.
- ben_w 5y agoI am not sure of the causal relationship. Did the refugees cause the politics, or were they used by politicians seeking a convenient non-voting Other they could demonise relatively safely? I recognise my still-limited grasp of the German langue prevents me looking too closely at the politics of Germany, but I never had an impression since moving here that even a million caused significant real issues.
