    letting people die in droves to appease a made up thing like "migrant crisis"

    mother in christ the US is the wealthiest country in the world and it's half empty. a hundred million refugees could arrive and the US could (in theory, if it wasnt a genocidal neoliberal shell of a state) simply settle them somewhere.

      a hundred million refugees could arrive

      this has precedent, see: European immigration to the Americas, where over 60 million Europeans migrated to the Americas, and 32 million migrated to the United States alone between 1821 and 1932 (nearly 300 thousand a year)

        yeah. unfortunately, even if the current US decided to settle the people, it'd probably settle them around phoenix...
