Obama Directs United States to Accept up to 10000 Refugees Next Year

We call upon the Obama Administration to pledge to accept at least 65,000 refugees from Syria for resettlement in the United States by 2016. Germany allowed 20,000 migrants into the country over the weekend and is preparing for 800,000 this year.

The State Department said those expected to be admitted would most likely come from a list of nearly 18,000 referrals from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the world body’s refugee agency. The USA will also appeal to wealthy nations in the Gulf region to spend more on refugee assistance and camps.

Earnest defended the administration’s response, saying the U.S. could not realistically provide sanctuary to the four million Syrians who have fled a brutal civil war.

Once the US State Department receives their case files it employs NGO contractors to pre-screen them for eligibility for refugee status, then they are subjected to health and security checks.

“Unless something big is done to resolve this conflict through political means, the human train that has started moving out of Syria and the neighbourhood will continue to be running for many months to come”, he said.

The war in Syria is so hellish and unrelenting that more people have left that country than any other in recent years.

The announcement comes a day after Director of National Intelligence James Clapper expressed “huge concern” that Islamic State terrorists might infiltrate the crowds of thousands of Syrian refugees flocking to Europe and the United States to escape the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

European countries have taken in waves of migrants fleeing violence. Religious groups have also asked the United States to take 100,000 refugees.

She said the images she’s seeing on TV are too much to handle, especially the one of a young refugee boy whose lifeless body washed ashore as his family was on their way to Canada.
