Canada offers world example in integrating Syrian refugees. (No Trump or Cruz there.)
The government in Ottawa is committed to resettling 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of February 2016. The number is small compared to the number of people arriving in Europe, but the total population of the North American country is only around 36 million.
Currently, Canada has accepted more than 13,000 Syrian refugees on its soil and the rest of the 12,000 are expected at the end of the month – while by the end of 2016 the country is planning to host between 35,000 and 40,000 refugees.
There are special reception centers in Montreal and Toronto receiving 400-500 refugees everyday by aircraft.
Manicom underlined that throughout history immigration has never stopped and, thus, permanent structures need to be created in order to address it.

Congratulations to the people of Canada. All the GOP candidates who have nightmares about accepting any refugees must view Canada as dangerously welcoming to them. Proportionately, 25,000 refugees in Canada would be almost 250,000 in the US. It is hard to imagine that ever happening. Fear seems to be a more important factor in our refugee decisions than it is for Canada.
