Are we taking in fewer people because we are the second highest donating country even though we're about 7th on the list of wealthiest countries?
Bit of a balancing act but that's the only reason I can see for taking in fewer refugees.

I'm not saying we should or shouldn't, I don't even vote so I've got no room to comment really.

how many illegal immigrants are in the USA then??.plus you are taking unlimited syrians as well. plus the UK are only taking the most vulnerable refugees,ie women,children and the disabled etc,then when it is safe they will be taken back home to syria if they want too.
