"The EU has 500 million people so absorbing one or two million refugees really shouldn't be so hard. "

I think this is a little unfair considering the EU population as one population. It should be worked out as a % of which states population that are taking migrants as opposed to one big blob. A million refugees in Germany is a much bigger cultural problem than 2 million evenly distributed across the EU (which won't happen).

I would also argue that they are not all refugees either.

Good points Solomani. Also, another problem with absorbing this current wave of refugees is that, judging by their actions and words, they do not want to assimilate into the cultures of their host countries. Therein lies the rub.
