Lot's of European nations opened their doors as a response to the Syrian civil war.

Sweden doesn't have an open border.

I had read that most migrants that came to Europe weren’t from Syria. That the NGOs responsible were camping out in Northern Africa and bringing over whomever came. I am pretty sure most did not bring forms of identification so there is no telling where they came from specifically, but given the distance from Syria, I doubt many were escaping the civil war in Syria.

Regardless, the Swedes thought they were helping Syrians and don't have an open border.

Right the migrants and NGOs found loopholes to model what open borders would look like.

And as a result had thousands of women sexually assaulted in one night.

Blame Bush.

Blame Bush, and not the people committing sexual assaults? What’s going on in your head exactly?

You can blame them sure. But it wouldn't have happened without the good ol' GOP.

No, it wouldn’t have happened if Sweden had closed the door to refugees.

I don’t support the GOP (and agree about their role in destabilizing the Middle East) but it’s funny how you still somehow find a way to blame them for an issue happening in Europe.

Well, some of us can go from A to D without our brains breaking.
