Colombia’s Plan to Welcome Millions of Venezuelan Migrants

The vast majority of the refugees in Europe are in 2 countries: Germany and Sweden. Read my comment above. The rest of European countries, including France and central Europe, essentially reacted by voting for populists (borderline fascists in some countries).

Your second comment on Germany is totally irrelevant.

And 1 million people for Europe is nothing considering the total population and wealth of the union. As I write in the comment you ignored: some of the poorest and smallest countries in the world took in more than a million refugees and without help.

How is the number of foreigners already in a country irrelevant, when deciding whether to admit more? From the perspective of the host country, migrants or refugees makes no difference.

And it's 1 million in one year, but 5 million since 2008. Unlike with Colombia, almost none are from neighboring countries. That's counting only refugees, not total immigrants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_migrant_crisis#Asylum...

Given these numbers, is there any amount of immigrants the EU/US would have to accept, to be considered sufficient?

It's a pity but you keep using words like immigrants and foreigners and mixing concepts and numbers.

There's no point in continuing this exchange.
