Describing this as 'radical' (in the actual title of the article!), 'impressive', etc. says more about the current worldview of western democracies on basic humanitarian solidarity than it says about Colombia.
Isn't free travel within the EU just as 'radical'? And haven't western democracies already accepted many millions of migrants? The US alone accepts one million immigrants per year.
1. Refugees are not migrants. 2. A few thousands refugees almost broke Europe (excluding Germany and Sweden). Extreme right on the rise pretty much everywhere (including Germany and Sweden). And we're talking about the richest countries in the World. Compare that with Colombia, Jordan, Lebanon to name but 3 countries.
> The US alone accepts one million immigrants per year.
"of whom about 600,000 are Change of Status who already are in the U.S". However, it's not about immigration.
How many Syrian/Libyan/Afghan/Venezuelan/Iraqi _refugees_ did the US take in the last 5 years? (You've probably noticed that the examples I cited are not random).
The vast majority of the refugees in Europe are in 2 countries: Germany and Sweden. Read my comment above. The rest of European countries, including France and central Europe, essentially reacted by voting for populists (borderline fascists in some countries).
Your second comment on Germany is totally irrelevant.
And 1 million people for Europe is nothing considering the total population and wealth of the union. As I write in the comment you ignored: some of the poorest and smallest countries in the world took in more than a million refugees and without help.
How is the number of foreigners already in a country irrelevant, when deciding whether to admit more? From the perspective of the host country, migrants or refugees makes no difference.
