A large percent of the population, don't want refugees in their country, the cost, the bad behavior, and the lack of assimilation put them off, and there is also the race and religious differences. Of all the people know only one agreed with bringing in the Syrian refugees into Canada, they see the behavior of muslims and they are fearful of bringing in more, and with what happened in France last week and Germany yesterday who can't blame them.With the mood of people all thru the western countries,I see right wing govt's being elected in the next election cycles I think the refugees will be out of luck, and I don't see China with their muslim and population troubles opening its doors, and Japan are the biggest racist on the planet nothing going to happen there either. Also don't forget the Brexit a large part of the leave campaign was based on closing the door.
