I'm talking about Canada. Not other countries.
And if you don't want any more refugees, then you stop all refugees.
If saudi arabia wants to give space to more refugees that's their decision.
I never said you should take in "hundreds of thousands." I didn't even specify any number, I just gave Canada's 50,000 as an example.

OK so basically this has just gone in a full circle because the whole argument has been about whether we can refuse to accept refugees and the answer is yes.
We might not share the same opinion but we already have thousands of syrian refugees and we'll have more by the time Obama has left office. My point is that we've taken enough and the solution is not to take in hundreds of thousands of syrian refugees but rather to find them suitable living solutions near their home countries till its safe for them to go back.

To be fair, constitutional rights only apply to citizens and people who are on US territory. So.. technically speaking, rejecting visas or green cards for immigrants wouldn't violate anyone's constitutional rights, because if you don't yet have a visa or green card then you aren't on US soil. That being said, I don't understand how anyone could really fit "blanket oppression of a group of people" inside their moral tapestry.

If that's what your point is, then I can at least say that I have no immediate objections. I don't think taking in some more would necessarily hurt, but I don't know how much it would help.

is refusing to bring in hundreds of thousands of people who have proven themselves to be barbarians who follow a religion incompatible with your society 'blanket oppression'?
