Yeah, if you’re allergic to irony, you might want to skip over this. It seems that Latin American countries, Brazil, Venezuela, Chile, have offered to take on some Syrian refugees, according to AFP<\/a>;<\/p>\n

In a video message marking Brazil’s Independence Day, [President Dilma Rousseff] said she wanted to “reiterate the government’s willingness to welcome those who, driven from their homeland, want to come live, work and contribute to the prosperity and peace of Brazil.”<\/p>\n

“Especially in these difficult times, these times of crisis, we have to welcome refugees with open arms,” she added.<\/p>\n

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro ordered his foreign ministry to take steps to receive 20,000 Syrians in the country.<\/p>\n

Chile’s President Michelle Bachelet, meanwhile, said her country also would be willing to accept refugees, without specifying a number or nationality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Venezuela has the second-highest murder rate in the world, behind Honduras, so there’s room for refugees there, I suppose. <\/p>\n

What’s ironic is that I don’t remember any of those countries volunteering to take some of the pressure off of the US when we recently were crushed by immigrants, you know, immigrants that speak the same language as some of those countries (yes, I know Brazil speaks Portuguese). They didn’t offer to help take Haitians off our hands in the 90s, or Cubans in the 80s or 90s. I guess these “these times of crisis” are conditional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
