“Welcoming the homeless and the stranger is a fundamental part of our faith”.

The mayor waved the heartbreaking photo of little Alan Kurdi as he lambasted the GOP presidential longshot for his opposition to sheltering even a single Syrian refugee.

There are no Syrian refugees in Vermont, but a small number is expected.

The House of Representatives, in the meantime, defied Obama’s veto menace and handed a invoice final week that may toughen screening of Syrian and Iraqi refugees.

World Vision has recommended Congress move quickly to fund critical humanitarian relief accounts including Migration and Refugee Assistance, International Disaster Assistance and Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance which would cost about $5 billion for 2016.
