Allow More Syrian Refugees Into the US!
This petition is a show of support for Syrian refugees who should be allowed into the US in higher numbers
In 2014, a measly 249 Syrian refugees were resettled in the US. This in the middle of the largest humanitarian crisis in our lifetime with 8 million displaced Syrians. Syrians are risking their lives, and sometimes losing them as they die on capsized ships, or suffocate on trucks during dangerous treks to Europe. Several European countries have accepted Syrian refugees in the thousands. This petition is a show of support by Americans who deeply care about the fate of Syrian civilians forced to face death by either barrel bombs or drowning in the Mediterranean due to the world's callousness. It is a call for US lawmakers to raise the quota and ease the immigration of Syrian refugees who need a safe haven now!
