Number Of Syrian Refugees In Lebanon Equivalent To 75 Million In America

Share:

UN LibyaUNITED NATIONS – Lebanon’s ambassador to the U.N. told the Security Council Tuesday that the estimated 1.2 million Syrian refugees in his country now represents one quarter of the Lebanese population.

Framing that number to U.S. acting-Representative Rosemary DiCarlo, the President of the Security Council for the month of July, Dr. Nawaf Salam said the refugee flow would represent two times the population of Canada landing on the shores of the United States.

“Madam President, it’s as if your country, the United States of America, were going to have an influx of 75 million refugees,” Salam said. “Could you imagine the impacts of an influx of such magnitude on your country?”

Of the 1,400 locations accommodating refugees in Lebanon, Syrian refugees now outnumber the local population in a third of them.

Ya Libnan Editors note:

Salam missed big time in his calculations
The actual number should be 88 and not 75 million
While Lebanon has a population of 4.26 million , the US has a population of 314 million
(1.2/4.26)x314= 88.45 million

      Hahahahaha … He’s a Dr. – not a mathemetician …and that’s only one reason why there’s a shortage of electricity. 🙂
      And here we go with the numbers games again.
      I don’t see mention of the 1/2 million who were already migrant workers in Lebanon before the new influx from Assad. BUT let’s have fun with some numbers.
      If it was the USA and over almost 3 years, that’s about 30 mil a year … and since the USA takes in a little over a million a year as immigrants including refugees aiming for citizenship, that’s 30 times the ‘normal’ in a year. Could be a little stiff – might hurt – but WAIT. Somebody said there was only 22 million Syrians. Hmmm ….
      Well … lets say a third of those left every year. Only 7.3333 (etc) mil a year over same 3.
      And after vetting though a ‘camp’, and taking the migrant Mexican’s jobs, the economy would grow fast – and there’s enough land to hold them, but obviously none of the food sent now could be sent to other countries – unless they took in Israeli farmers (say 100,000/yr) and put them in the Arizona Dessert to turn it into a garden. And if they did that, and we extrapolate the numbers over a measly 1000 years … WOW, eventually everyone could live in the USA .
      AND I NOTE that somebody already worked the numbers out to prove having more babies all the time is OK because, standing shoulder-to-shoulder, Texas could hold the meagre 7 billion of the world now, after all; and you’d only need adequate sandwich conveyers to keep them alive, and baby conveyors to move new ones to California. (Add a conveyor to Arizona for the other by-product of humans for the imported Isrealis to have a good ‘mulch’ supply.) Which would still leave lots of land all over the USA for food. Right?
      AND, the Lebanese would be back to their dialoging 4 mil. – and exporting pine-nuts to the 16 million Lebanese who seem to have managed to escape to elsewhere in the world … with the electricity. Only 88 million? Piffle.
      So, we can see that the USA could hold everyone happily – nobody would need to clean up the rubble in Syria – the businessmen would be busy – everyone would be happily hugging and producing manure locally … and on TOP of that ALL the coal-fired electrical plants AND the cows could be trading the farts of methane (etc) for ‘offsetting numbers’ of carbon-emmisions due to ‘need’ for cook-stoves and sandwiches in USA – while the rest of the planet produces oxygen.
      Dr. Nawaf is simply not using the numbers the right way.

      (Right. I was bored by the whole thing … sorry .. 😉
