Nolan and Ellison have been pushing for even more – between 100,000 and 200,000 refugees to be relocated in the United States by the end of 2016.

Education minister Elias Bou Saab claims as many as two per cent – one in 50 – refugees could be “radicals” entering Europe hoping to carry out terror attacks. “Many governments are responding admirably by significantly increasing their refugee quotas to match the depth of the crisis“, O’Malley wrote.

Catholic Charities will resettle about 60 more refugees of any nationality in 2016 than this year, said Toc Soneoulay-Gillespie, the charity’s resettlement program director.
