Yes, very compelling points, adding perspective. These details and considerations are often lost in the general judgement some feel re. UK's immigration situation and beyond. And speaks to why I cannot reflexively state that resistance is always solely xenophobic!
The UK has about the same or even a little less land mass as the state of Florida you bring 50,000 refugees into a country that small and it effects the daily life of every man woman and child, sometimes we forget how some of those countries are smaller then most states in this country. They are fighting for a way of life.
What would happen if tomorrow 100,000 refugees came to Detroit, it is the same thing on the scale of things, now feed, clothe, house, provide security not only for them but for the existing residents. It would have a massive impact on the city, think about it and kinda put yourself in their shoes.
