Really? Do you really mean that? The individual refugees want to get out of camps, they want to get out of their worn-torn homeland. Are you now willing to a accept individual refugees that want to come to the US? That is a radical change in your position.

I assume that the PP's mother could have stayed in the camp in which she lived for 5 years. Or, she could have returned to the country from which she fled, but she wanted to come to the US instead. Why should would deny that opportunity to those who now share the fate her mother once had is difficult to understand.

I am not writing that off. It seems a bit early to just write off Syria to the garbage dump of history as a land of no return. My grandparents (and the world) waited around a lot longer and finally came as refugees when the camps closed and the country was firmly established as a place of no return. I have nothing against refugees and I am aware there are worthy political refugees from across the entire world and we have a process for this.  However, a whole population fleeing a conflict zone is hopefully a temporary situation.  It was a very well established country and it is sad to see people like you giving up on it, instead of driving a political/military process that will get these people back to their homes/farms/livlihoods which I guarantee they would prefer.[/quote]
