Iraqugees

These are shocking statistics:

There are now more than 2.2 million Iraqi refugees -- the vast majority of them in Syria and Jordan -- along with another two million who are internally displaced in Iraq. On a typical day, thousands of families swarm the border checkpoints, hoping to escape the violence. The United Nations High Commission for Refugees estimates that 60,000 Iraqis flee each month.

Equally shocking is this:

The U.S. government admitted one Iraqi refugee in April and one in May. Sixty-three were admitted in June. In 2007 so far, the total is 190, but even this number is misleading, since all but 17 of them were back-logged cases of Iraqis who had fled before the war began.

Glad to see we are doing our part. But can we really sustain a monthly influx of ONE refugee? At that rate, we’ll be overrun by Iraqis in about 10 million years. Oh well, it’s not like we had anything to do with the situation that caused about 10 percent of Iraq's population to leave their country, right?
