It sure would have helped if the US hadn't caused the refugee crisis in the first place with our unjust and unjustified wars. We knew even in 2003 that going into Iraq would create a power vacuum that would unleash Muslim radicals. We knew that before going in, still went in, and now have the audacity to refuse the refugees that we created. The Iraq war was not a progressive policy; it was not a sane policy. Claiming that progressive policies led to this situation is delusional.
