Many Americans are threatening to move to Canada if the U.S. allows Syrian refugees into the country.

Disgruntled Americans voiced their threats of heading north of the border on social media this week as the U.S. debates whether to open its doors to those fleeing the Syrian crisis.

U.S. President Barack Obama pledged to take in about 10,000 Syrian refugees in 2016, while Canada has pledged to take in 25,000 by January 1, 2016.

This isn’t the first time Americans have threatened to make a run for the Great White North.
