They also blame Obama for not taking on a larger role in the civil war earlier.

But the humanitarian crisis in Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East is swamping Europe with refugees. Congressional leaders face a delicate political balance of providing refuge to those fleeing the country, while at the same time not making it easier for terrorist cells to enter the country. While 10,000 is the number the UN set as a standard for countries to meet back in June, the president’s pledge fails to step up to the challenge now before civilized nations.

A Syrian refugee who used to sell produce in Aleppo has moved his shop across the border to Kilis, into a neighbourhood where almost all the residents are Syrian asylum-seekers. “For what reason, I don’t know”, he said, according to Telegraph. In just eight months of 2015, the number has increased to over 300,000, and there appears to be no end in sight. At a refugee camp in the Bekaa Valley, Cameron visited refugee families and announced he is appointing a minister to oversee the flow of Syrian refugees. There is no place to live like your own country.

Of Detroit, Laitin and Jahr say, “Syrians would bring new vigor and catalyze its nascent recovery”.

“It’s a terrible tragedy that’s occurring”, she said. While it may sound callous not the to help another human in need, the officials have no choice but to be careful. In Jordan, Cameron visited one of our youth centres in Zaatari, where young people take part in work training and social activities.

Many Syrian communities have yet to develop.

“This is a world problem; I think it should be all-hands-on-deck by everybody, including the United States“, she said.
