Syrian Refugee Resettlement In The United States

Currently The United States is expected to receive 1,400 to 2,000 Syrian refugees for the year 2015, and 5,000 to 8,000 in 2016. There are over 4 million refugees that have fled Syria and this number grows everyday. While neighboring countries in the Middle East and The EU have reluctantly taken in refugees, they often find themselves in either inhumane conditions or stuck in the bureaucratic web of Europe's immigration debate . No one is better equipped to assist the Syrian people more than The United States of America. Our nation has a singular tradition of support and opportunity for all those seeking a better life, be it temporary or permanent. There is more that can and should be done by all of us for all human beings fleeing persecution and oppression. Too many of us forget that our families, too, depended on others to help them leave their homes for a better life. Our country has proven it's heart time and time again, and now at this most crucial moment we should answer the call once more. Thank you.
