This crises didn't just start. He knows there is no-way in hell that Syrian refugees are getting here without government approval. He's making an empty promise to help and using the refugees suffering to prop it up. I guess what really upset me was how he pointed out how small and humble his place is, yet he owned that huge vacation house that has since been ordered away by the court. Btw, thanks for not making this personal like some others have.
