Can you mention which positive contribution refugees have on their destination countries? Most arguments seem to either revolve around foreign cuisine or around some variation on the reasoning that sharing $10 with 5 people is much better than sharing $9 with 4.

I'm not saying countries shouldn't help refugees, I'm just saying that the reasoning that refugees could have a net positive effect on the country housing them seems to be mostly wishful thinking originating from ideological grounds rather than observational ones.

Also, this should get a poll...
