I actually agree with him to a degree. This is also the Middle East's responsibility, especially when Saudi Arabia, for instance, is closer for the Syrian refugees. Not only that, but it is economically more effective than letting 'refugees' in willy-nilly.

False equivalence fallacy

Oh please. If you don't know how much Saudi-Arabia is involved in causing the crisis (with our weapons)... they sure aren't willing to solve it. It's easy to flee from responsability, it's harder to take it. Building walls and shouting populist rethoric is easy when you don't come from a warzone.

And secondly. Is there a big iron fence? Yes, even multiple. I don't see how that can be a false comparison.

Ah, so give other countries a free pass. That's definitely a great idea... Everyone is responsible, especially with Saudi Arabia's Wahabbism.

And let's look at what the Iron Curtain is:

"The Iron Curtain formed the imaginary boundary dividing Europe into two separate areas from the end of World War II in 1945 until the end of the Cold War in 1991. The term symbolized efforts by the Soviet Union to block itself and its satellite states from open contact with the West and non-Soviet-controlled areas."

Yeah... false equivalence. The fact you did not put in the effort to research the background means you're more into spouting buzzwords than providing actual arguments. Let me guess, you're planning on using the word 'Nazi' next?
