“#AllLivesMatter until Syrian refugees need help.” Meanwhile, today Scotland is showing the world how to do the opposite of America’s governors. 

All of this. Plus I would disagree with the statement that conservatives (or anyone else) have the right to refuse refugees. If our countries have the space - and just speaking as a Canadian, I can say for a FACT that we do, indeed, have rather a lot of empty space - then I would say that we absolutely do NOT have the right to turn people away. As for affording to help refugees, someone on my fb feed just posted yesterday that the cost of taking in the 25,000 refugees that our new government is currently working on accepting by the end of the year would be the same as a single fighter jet of some sort. This is how much we spend on our military. And that’s CANADA, a country with a comparatively laughable military. We CAN afford this. And we have no right not to!
