Ex-NATO boss: US should take 100,000 migrants

Europe has been struggling for months on how to handle the influx of migrants pouring in from conflict areas in the Middle East and Africa.

The European Commission is set to announce plans on Wednesday to distribute 120,000 migrants among member countries.

A similar debate has been brewing in the US, where some lawmakers are calling for the government to welcome 65,000 migrants from Syria.

Admiral James Stavridis says that is not enough. The former NATO Supreme Allied Commander, and current dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University tells the BBC the US should accept up to 100,000 migrants to lessen Europe's load.
