The United
States accepted more than 70,000 refugees in 2014, or roughly 700 for every one
accepted by South Korea and Japan combined.
The current Secretary-General of the United Nation is Ban Ki-moon of South Korea, who took office on 1 January 2007. He wants to push Syrian refugees off on other nations when his own nation and Japan will not take them. He should not be telling other nations to take them when his own nation will not.
At the end of September 2015, the Ministry of Justice in South Korea said there are 848 Syrian asylum seekers in South Korea. Of those that applied for refugee status in South Korea only 0.3% were considered. Keep in mind he is using figures from 1994 - to present. There was not a crisis in Syria during those early years. There TOTAL refugees number is 848 from all countries.
UN Secretary
General Ban Ki-moon, crucified Hungary for the way it was handling the tens of
thousands of immigrants massing on its border, “I was shocked to see how these
refugees and migrants were treated by Hungary. It’s not acceptable … since they
are the people who are fleeing the violence and persecution, we must ensure our
compassionate leadership.” Why is he not shocked that his own country South
Korea will not take them in and treat them compassionately? Why isn’t he
speaking out against South Korea?
Such
hypocrisy, here is a man who likes to think he stands as a moral compass for
the world yet he comes from a country that has contributed absolutely nothing
in the way of a solution to the human tide generated by the Syria crisis. He
wants other countries to shoulder their responsibility, but overlooks the fact
that South Korea is doing nothing to help with the problem.
South Korea
does have plenty of company when it comes to talking and not doing. According
to Amnesty International, here are a few other countries willing to stand by
and do nothing as a human tragedy unfolds: Gulf countries including Qatar,
United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain have offered zero
resettlement places to Syrian refugees. Other high income countries including
Russia, Japan, Singapore along with South Korea have also offered zero
resettlement places.
Why hasn’t
our Imperial President Obama brought this to the attention of the American
people? Why has he not spoken out publicly about the fact the head of the
United Nations cannot even get his own country to take in refugees?
I do not want any of the Syrian refugees to be allowed in the United States. I do believe we should established a safe zone in their own country for them and I think ALL countries that are members of the United Nation should shoulder that responsibility.
