   Former President Bill Clinton says "there is a limit" to how many   
   migrants the U.S. can accept before it causes disruption.   
      
   Clinton spoke on a CNN podcast and was asked by host Fareed Zakaria   
   about "economic migrants" who are "gaming" the asylum system.   
      
   "There is a limit to how many migrants any society can take without   
   severe disruption and assistance, and our system is based much more on   
   an assumption that things would be more normal," the former president   
   said.   
      
   Clinton said that when he was a boy and a young man, Mexican migrants   
   would move back and forth across the border to work in agriculture "and   
   it worked for people." But he conceded that the situation was now very   
   different.   
      
   "It’s an old story, but now you've got the largest number of refugees   
   since World War II because of Syria and now Ukraine and other   
   problems," he said.   
      
   Clinton also noted the recent surge in migrants from Venezuela that has   
   increased in recent months.   
      
   "What’s happening in Venezuela, more than 2 million refugees pouring   
   into first Colombia then nearby countries, has created unprecedented   
   new challenges."
